Please provide your contrasting opinion of Biden, and explain which and why one of the two is better for the country.
For the record, I deleted that post. I regret saying that.
Biden's really little more than a figurehead, an old pol that no one can get too worked up about, and the perfect vessel for those millions of voters whose only issue was relief from the chaos. I think most realized that, in fairness, Trump was only responsible for a portion of the chaos - he was the subject of unprecedented, crazy-level hate from Democrats and the media, the latter of which adopted the morals and situational ethics of prostitutes. (And in saying that, I apologize to prostitutes.)
But Biden is safe and inoffensive, and more than just a wee bit senile. The real danger the Dems pose comes from their hyperpartisan. identity-politics wing, exemplified by Kamala Harris. What an awful, dangerous future she represents, a future of tribalism and disunity.
The choice I was presented with this year broke my heart. I couldn't support in good conscience either of them, and the best thing I could see advocating for what what I called the bank shot - divided government, as the best hope for forcing these craven politicians to listen to the voiceless and get some work done for a nation that sorely needs a break from the constant demands to hate and fear the other side.
The Georgia runoffs have the potential to create the divided government we need to fashion compromises and temper extremism. I'm likely being too optimistic; now that the Dems have regained the federal bureaucracy, they will likely move as swiftly to benefit their Tribe as Trump did to benefit his. And like Trump, their neglect of and contempt for the rest of us will likely lead to a GOP House as soon as 2022, especially if they use Covid to grind our liberties and livelihoods to dust.
