    I can tell you why they picked Biden. He’s done so much better than I thought he would, I don’t agree with everything but he’s side stepped a lot of things that could have gone poorly.

    • He’s elderly and Americans love/need a father figure, especially after a failed coup.
    • He knows how to get things done and will even make shitty deals to do it. Unfortunately, that’s a good thing in the long run.
    • He didn’t get emotional or respond to trump’s bait at all. He just quietly dismantled everything trump has built up, including trump’s army of domestic terrorists and/or nazis.
    • Trump has actually been indicted and arrested in some cases for a small part of his criming.

        America has definitely been dumbed down while we have the world’s information at our fingertips. It’s wild to watch.

          Hell, just look at how many people comment objectively wrong things when the answer was one Google search away, and it’s not just trolls.

      Im happy with him just for the no surprises act, clean energy focused budget, and getting the irs to provide tax prep.

        I think he’s going under the radar as one of our best presidents. I’m guessing we’ll look back at it with fondness but for some reason no one is paying attention to how well he’s doing. I don’t like his border policies or that he kept that schmuck at the post office on, but from everything else I know about, he’s been great.
