Vote for someone else next time while shrugging shoulders and saying “well, at least he wasn’t Trump.”

I myself have no grand expectations of Biden. Many are highly motivated to for serious change and I’d like to see some as well. But if all I get is four years where we aren’t metaphorically free-falling into the mouth of a volcano, I’ll chalk that up in the win column. Maybe not much of a win, but better than nothing.

Eh, I’m more concerned with Congressional leadership on things like establishing some uniform national minimum standards on availability of early and mail-in voting, availability and capacity of polling places, and the like to effectively prohibit vote-suppression shenanigans.
