Agreed. I don’t see much of that with Biden/Harris though. That was an issue with the last administration. I’m enjoying the level of normalcy in leadership.

One thing that is a relief, we don't see the current President bad mouthing and bashing another politician, regardless of party, or a news reporter or a person w/ a disability on an almost daily basis. Our last president never showed any real compassion toward anyone for the horrific toll of the coronavirus, yet he got through it himself and was very fortunate.

Trump's permanent ban from Twitter has been wonderful.

Those are just a couple of things I like.

Lastly, let's remove the word "hate" from our vocabulary. I try hard myself to do that.

The OP has a valid point. Do people really like Biden/Harris or are they simply relieved that it isnt Trump/Pence?

I lived on aa shop for 39 months, but not all berthings were equal nor were the jobs we did.

Did people really like Alpha working party? Well compared to cleaning the garbage locker, or the coffer damns hell yes. While in port we hooked up to base water, power and sewage. I liked the water out to see but base water was horrible. Water out to see compared to well water at home? No contest Ill take well water, but damn straight I liked out to sea water over base water.

My point is there are many that would not have voted Biden/Harris had Trump not been so tedious and obnoxious. Of course they will say that they like Biden/Harris, the alternative to them was far worse.

I voted for Biden because he’s not Trump. But he has been doing so much better than I expected, I now think he was the best of choice of anyone, Republican or Democrat.

The Dems would rather eat their first born than admit that they made a monumental error in electing Biden/Harris.

I’ve liked Joe Biden ever since he did a surprise visit to the high school football team a block from where I was living while serving as vice president. This is classic Joe at his finest.

I wanted Biden in 2016, not Hillary.

I’m willing to bet that the majority of Trump supporters voted for him because they were told that Obama was a Muslim and Trump was their mouthpiece for their anger.

I can't figure out if people like you are just unbelievably ill-informed, or you're just pretending to be dumb to bait people into wasting time trying to educate you. There are thousands of articles and even entire books written on Trump's destructiveness. For an easy start, he lowered our international standing, wrecked our stance as an international moral arbiter, triggered an uptick of hate crime, and was the instigator on the most flagrant attack on our election in history.
