If we vote in droves and create a blue wave powerful enough to overcome outside forces, we win. That will take a unified front. That means you don't sit on your sofa and say meh, Biden just does not excite me that much. Putin, GOP voter suppression and an evil regime will do anything to see us fail so they stay in power and out of jail. They are the dividers so we need to be the ones unified.
If we win, yet think Biden can snap his fingers and everything is right in the world, we will lose again. He will have one hell of a mess to clean up. Trump has made the US a shit hole country and it will take years for us to regain an ounce of respect around the world.He will walk into the office with an economy spinning out of control. He will grieve, as we do with 410K Americans dead due to incompetence and frankly not one care in the world that they have died.
If anyone thinks that change will happen instantly, well they don't live in the real world. Change will happen incrementally. That is a fact.
If we win, you don't walk away and say our job is done. Fact is our job will have just begun. We need to be forever loud and vigilant as Americans. We can never let this happen again.
The day he walks into office is the day OUR jobs have just begun.

(62,483 posts)maybe comparable in many respects to what FDR faced after Hoover. There will also probably be enough Repukes left to throw monkey wrenches in the works. FDR had a very compliant congress.
But at least there will be HOPE. Just like when Obama took over. We believed that this man could fix it. We at least had hope.

(42,770 posts)The chance that we get rid of the monster and warning people to not expect miracles after Biden wins?

(84,069 posts)I don't. I don't believe Jesus rose from the dead any more than Lazarus did.
I do believe in The Miracle Worker, Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller. That took a lot of love and hard work. A lot of hard work.
We all know, most of us do, that to gain strength and succeed takes work. This nation was built on the back of slaves. We have a hard row to hoe. We must correct what donnie has done and it will take years to correct the damage that he has wrought.

(2,759 posts)Trump supporters will still be here, except theyll be madder and crazier than they are now, and he will still be directing them. Even when hes either in jail or having fled the country.

(2,759 posts)I hadnt thought of that until I heard someone say it the other day.
Unless, of course, hes a convicted felon.

(42,770 posts)for all earth, I'd say let THEM fix everything this time.
It's such an obvious pattern. Rob the treasury blind...so we have no $ to help anyone....we fix matters and get things on the right track....then they take over and rob the treasury again !!

(2,865 posts)My son and I agreed that regardless if Covid-19 is raging, everyone in line to vote is infected, it's raining during a ferocious thunderstorm, then freezing rain, then snow, then a blizzard, chased by packs of rabid dogs, having to endure a gauntlet of racist, bigoted evangelical Nazis, President Nazivomit's personal poll police, the actual roid-raging police, thousands of doofus hick AR-15 toting 17-year-old's, every single Focksnooze reporter or even the 'My Pillow' guy, we will be voting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this November 3!

(9,108 posts)We can't seem to reach them and move them to the polls. It will be the same voters again and again and again with some new ones here and there.
People just don't give a shit. They let others think for them and define their destinies (but they sure do complain about how shitty things are!).
