If he were to issue an EO barring abortion, a federal judge would issue an injunction before he got through signing his last name.
Also, SCOTUS has already ruled it a states issue.

SCOTUS also has been breaking earlier rulings. I fully expect them to side with the federal ban.
SCOTUS also said it was settled law, so I wouldn't trust them.
How exactly is Biden even an evil? So much discourse around him complains about his handling of Gaza and Ukraine lately.
What do people actually want him to do?
Feels like so many people saying I don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils or I'm going to vote third party slept through civics class and think that the President can do things like unilaterally declare war or distribute aid package to other countries. That's now how the US government works. Congress is the one who creates those packages.
Here's what he can do, officially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_of_the_president_of_the_United_States. I don't see much there that helps with any of the things people are complaining about. Pretty much any executive order he's tried to make has also been shot down by our current very useless Congress.
It's time to stop blaming the President for not doing the things he cannot do and start blaming our current Congress for being utterly useless. Get every obstructionist regressive Republican out of Congress and then we can blame Biden when we see him veto a bill that grants trans protections or aid to Ukraine and Palestine. Then we could call the man evil.
I fully intend to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, but let’s not rewrite history, shall we?
I didn't see that he'd done this, and now that you mention it he definitely did do something similar with Ukraine at first. Kinda makes me irrationally angry [but I'm actually not sure how he'd show support to Palestine still since the Hamas are the only group that he could really use to do that and they're not exactly the good guys either... He did recently command the US military to air drop supplies], but unfortunately anything Trump would do is going to be much worse so now's not the time to try and stick it to the DNC as a wider group. Next cycle is going to be another good opportunity since they won't be able to just put forth Biden again.

First, I didn’t say anything about “the DNC as a wider group”.
Second, if stating a simple fact will cost Biden the election, then he’s going to lose the election. I will be voting for Biden, and anyone with half a brain should be able to see that Trump would be worse in just about every measurable way, but if that isn’t the case, it won’t help to pretend he didn’t do something that he very clearly and publicly did.
People here aren’t criticizing Biden because they want to see him lose the election (for the most part). They’re criticizing Biden because they strongly disagree with a decision made by the person they voted for to represent their interests. How is Biden supposed to know the sentiment of his base if they avoid discussing it? Applying political pressure to your representatives is a good thing and should be encouraged.
