Despite the right wing's 24/7 hate talk and domination of the media America and its current
President support good and liberal policies. (And if it wasn't for the electoral college Democrats
would have won every Presidency since 1992.)
Biden's true liberal nature can be seen by what he has in the oval office.
Busts of Rosa Parks, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King, and Abe Lincoln along with a large
portrait of FDR.
And as far being born for this time and place.
Biden, "The next four years I want to make sure all the news is the American people.

President Biden seems to have campaigned to the left and he is governing to the left.

(7,839 posts)I presume most of us have quite a few ideas on social action or legal techniques, if we were in high office.
We finally have a Team Blue where I accept what they have to say without going on an immediate offensive to find weaknesses in their arguments. Example: Why was Orange not censured ? Speaker Nancy Pelosi cleared that up. Censure is for small offenses and is therefore unworthy of Orange and his crimes.
Team Blue is not one to accept "status quo" and doesn't do tit-for-tat.
Team Blue is thinking further ahead than any presidency.
Therefore, I support Team Blue in calm and forthright manner. I look forward to press conferences and advice in all the arenas of government. I take a particular interest in science, foreign policy, education and voter rights.

(70,501 posts)... American politics and society for generations just like FDR did with high quality people,
effective policies that will help the American people, and understanding that our future is in
bringing in women, people of color, people from different backgrounds, Hispanics, GLBT
persons, and talented people. The era of the old white man is coming to an end thank God.
We will still have a huge block of dumb fucks who will fight the changes until they need the
help or see the good that is being done and SOME will come over to our side but not all
will. I was just over in rural western MD last week x-country skiing and the # of Trump loving
no mask wearing a-holes was depressing. I hope Jill Biden helps in this by working to reform
and increase education across America.
Look @ the people Joe has brought in for science and technology.
