2. Joe Won.

It's a basic law of physics.
Too much in either direction is what lost.
It is why Joe Biden swept the Primary & broke records in the Pres race.

Now for the next four years....steady Joe.

5. No. It's about the balanced governing from Center.

And keeping that balance pole the guy is holding, from being tilted when the wind gusts blow too far left or right, thus collapsing the entire center of sustainable governance, for a country like the US, of 300,000,000 citizens to co-exist.

Its really a pretty simple concept & the only one that is successful for all. There's not even a point to argue here.

Yes, President Biden will now be tasked with re-balancing the country as it's been swinging wildly out of control.

That's it.

7. He was the smart choice to successfully govern a Democracy.

He was the smart choice because he presented a lifelong record of steady balance of both foreign & domestic policy.

Its about the center balance.
The fulcrum under a see saw
The equlibrium
The center of gravity
The balance pole in the hands of the guy on a high wire

That is where the US succeeds & thrives as a nation of 300,000,000 citizens.

Joe's task is re-balancing the center because the US has been thrown so off kilter for the past four years.
His task is to stand in the middle till the balance pole is steady again.

Biden is the only one who has the past present & future knowledge in his hands at this moment in time to do so.

That is why he became our President for 2021.

Reliable, steady, trustworthy & competant. And that trust came from all sides & back towards the center.

8. Smart choice to win the election and that was what it was all about.

But you can get elected and walk away from the center.

I am saying Biden is the best thing for now. However, in a few years will he will make moves outside the comfort zone for the better? Maybe.

So far his cabinet choices are very experienced, and good, but do not contain progressives let alone Liberals https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/24/biden-cabinet-picks-progressives-440463 . They must must exist.

And Biden has been closer to monied interests than I'd like: https://www.truthdig.com/articles/joe-biden-is-a-phony-plain-and-simple/

I am excited by Kamala and give great credit to Biden for her as his VP pick.

It was a wiser political mind than me (and I agree somewhat) who said: "There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos."

Things will get much better with Biden in charge. I fear there will be little SCOTUS change which is just one thing which needs addressing. As you say we won with the middle, but the middle is now conservative ground.

Will Biden rock the boat? All I know is no matter what he does he will be attacked by the Conservative Media machine. As was Obama.

9. 🙄 "No Progs, No Liberals"

That is a big dose of propaganda right there.
Joe Biden is a Liberal.
Joe Biden's policies are progressive.
He has chosen NO ONE who doesn't align with his belief or thinking.

Stop looking to upset the balance this country needs so desperately at this moment.
Stop with the division of labels.

He is the Center. The equilibrium and where we need to return to.

Once again:

12. Yes. I wish him much success in restoring the basic tenats of our Democracy.

By the looks of his appointees, his Cabinet & those who he's chosen from all walks of life as Americans, Joe Biden has come well prepared for the task.

Those who oppose a return to balance, where future changes for the good of ALL of America can then move forward, may stand on the sideline or shouting demands thru social media.
That's their choice.

But it will take the skill & loyalty to Country & Constitution of Joe Biden & his exceptional staff who are well prepared to do all they can to right this tilted ship & they will not stop until it is again balanced.

President Joe Biden will not waver from the 1st mission he was tasked with.

10. He's already being attacked by the conservatives as well as from every other disgruntled direction

Its the noise around him as he re-balances the center.
He is a steady force & expects the noise, wherever it comes from.
He can handle it.
