Speculation.

No can tell a potential candidate who has the qualifications they cannot run.
It assumes that Biden cannot or does not make his own decisions.
There's no reason to think, had Biden run, the electoral college that elected Trump would have turned out any differently. It took the Trump administration 3 long years to finally motivate enough people to vote to turn the country from the course the administration was taking.

And yes, it will take a while to clean up the mess. And create new ones. Trump just took a 2nd (and 3rd) term for granted. It would be a mistake for Democrats to copy that sort of cockiness. There is nothing written in the stars that says Biden will have a 2nd term or that his successor would be a Democrat. Just as Trump's policies and rhetoric had unintended and unforeseen consequences, Biden's upcoming presidency will face the same problem.

And besides, the federal government is usually a lagging indicator about our nation. IOW, It can't solve our problems until the American people can come to some sort of agreement about them and their solution. It's up to us and it doesn't help to make enemies and scapegoats of the people with whom one disagrees. While I am a liberal, and have made my thinking about Trump pretty damn clear, I don't think it helps our cause in the least to engage in the same sort of rhetoric that we complain about.

Extremists on both sides need to stop making aliens out of their fellow citizens.

Doing semi awsome here, can't peacock the A game 24/7... so semi

Not disagreeing with you due to the nature of politics, its as an American, two equals...... someone i will call friend in a heartbeat.

We're not on opposite sides of any fence created by political motives or the perpetrators of that.

The fence is imaginary, it only exists in the imagination continually being reinforced with endless streams of sound bites, idiot fringe talking heads with an opinion worth less than ours, which is far more reality based..... its put out there in trough loads every hour on a loop for the hungy and news addicted zombies to lap it up.... i know you see it, and lap it up they do, as fast as they can and wait for the next load they know is coming......... appears to be similar with how they get the rats to run the maze and hit a button.... The rat wants more, begins to run the maze on his own and demand more, and they give it.

Ha.... went off the rail there for a bit

Have a good one brother, ......... and its one big open field full of apple pie eating Americans bro, there is not.... and never was a fence. ...... someone lied to " We the People"
