So what now ? Are we supposed to start bickering amongst each other

about which policy the Biden administration should do, not do, did not do fast enough, not progressive enough, too progressive, etc... ?

I hope we can enjoy the moment and move towards positivity. For the past four years most posts were about some catastrophic failure or decision the Trump admin did. He is gone now, I look forward to interesting debates about the future of the country and support of the monumental tasks the Biden administration has to undertake.

I suspect many of those who did under Obama were sock puppets. They still appear here now and then.

to implement Biden's goals as quickly as possible. Our window is very short and we will be judged on what we do or don't get done.

Bickering happens here, but it’s almost always informative.

If Stacey can duplicate her approach in Texas with maybe Beto's collaboration we could flip that too next cycle.

I do also think that we have to show rural America what we can offer them. Those coal miners for example. I KNOW Hillary had a plan for them and they hated her. But more than their hate, they need jobs and food. If we can somehow keep reaching out to them without sacrificing anyone else we need to do it. We need to change people’s minds somehow and good wages and food i their kids bellies is the quickest way IMO. We just need the right person to do it. I think Joe is that guy.
