Biden Won! Let's Go from There, OK?

This election is over. On January 20, 2020, we get another chance. Let's see if we can help Joe Biden manage what will be a very, very difficult situation.

Let's not insist that he do what cannot be done.
Let's not attack him when the Senate blocks a proposal.
Let's not backtrack on Joe Biden when he doesn't move faster than is possible.
Let's not start the 2024 Presidential campaign for a while.
Let's not speculate what someone else might have done if elected. Biden was elected.
Let's not handicap our new President from the very beginning of his term in office.
Let's not second guess his Cabinet appointments.
Let's support what he proposes and see what happens.
Let's give Joe Biden a chance to make good.

How does that sound?

I would rather have high hopes and high expectations.

I'm making some suggestions.

You will, no doubt, do whatever you think best.

There’s already people on this very site that are threatening to not vote for Biden in 2024 if he picks a Cabinet member they don’t like. Pure ridiculousness.

President-Elect Biden has a very difficult job ahead of him. A large part of the nation will be opposed to everything he says and does. He will need our support.
