40 VERY odd years ...

Absolutely nothing. Proves if you stick around long enough you too could become President.
 
The ex-Don's greatest praise (debatable) is that he didn't start any wars. Isn't that doing nothing?
 
He recently issued a mask order that is going to save the country from another respiratory virus that silly humans have never been able to control after decades of attempts.

He also recently promised that we would vaccinate 1M per day, when on Jan 20th, 1.6M were vaccinated because of the Trump Admin's remarkable vaccine development and distribution.

More of the same weak leadership.

Another great question might be how many jobs has Biden killed in his career?
 
Biden has been in politics for over 40 years, could his supporters please list his achievements in that time.
Biden has been a consistent "Third Way"-Clinton style Democrat long before Bill and Hill arrived in DC. Joe's one of those Dems who told his working class base to vote Republican if you don't like NAFTA.

Joe Biden, Neoliberal

"More pertinently, during his career, Biden’s political work and the business ventures of his family have intersected more times than anyone who watched Hillary Clinton’s candidacy flame out over similar accusations should feel comfortable with.

"And for all his working-class affectations, Biden is exactly the kind of transactional, Third Way centrist the Clintons faced withering attacks for being, spending years attacking progressive 'special interests' while crossing the aisle to vote with Republicans in major instances that were decidedly unhelpful to the working class.

"In other words, at a time when both the Democratic party and the country are moving left — particularly on economic issues — Biden is a lingering fragment of the triangulating liberalism that was shattered by the 2016 election, and which helped bring us Trump in the first place."

I am not a Biden supporter, for the record. :)

While further pondering your question, and finding Wikipedia to be both not very helpful and also biased, I came across this from the library of Congress....
