Taking this in good faith, it's possible Biden's genocide(s?) and other policies have led to fewer deaths than those of Obama and Clinton.

Biden: Palestine, Yemen, I assume some others I'm forgetting about, COVID domestically

Obama: Yemen, continued the US occupation of the middle east (but Biden was VP for those so feel like he probably has to get some credit)

Clinton: Bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq (al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory), the crime bill domestically (but written by Biden soooo)

Even so, this is like comparing which Axis leader was the "best" during WWII. It doesn't matter and all of them deserve the wall.

Can’t forget Ukraine deaths from forcing the war to be prolonged. That’s a lot of death.

Palestine and Ukraine might already be over million deaths, COVID is yet another million just in the USA. Of course Obama participated in 13 wars so it probably evened out, but Biden is directly to blame for those too as VP. Also he was president for 4 years while Obama and Clinton had 8 each.

But when we count in social murder USA did all over the world it's probably meaningless to compare, it's an evenly churning death machine.
