Biden has more votes than anyone ever despite being an "uninspiring candidate".
Trump lost the popular vote last time BTW but was still elected.

| The Democrats have won the popular vote something like 7 out of the last 8 elections. It doesn't mean much, winning the popular vote.

It does mean a lot actually, unless you chose to overlook it.
Where it doesn't matter is electorally - there it reconfirms yet again that the US is a centre-left country with a centre-right electoral system.

Bush and Trump are the only candidates to win the Presidency while losing the popular vote since 1888. Bush in 2000 and Trump in 2016.

It'll certainly be a long read.

The short version is: he's the complete opposite to Trump in almost every way.
Born into a poor family, got elected against all odds when he was young, fought back from repeated, devastating tragedy, has uncanny levels of empathy, never lost an election.
In short: just a kind, decent old man.

You dont have to shout and bang the desk to be effective.
After the madness that was Trump, a bit of calm and certainly some reconciliation between the 2 sides, would be a damn good thing.
Trump has spent his 4 years stoking division and hatred.
Biden could be exactly what everyone needs.
He's certainly got political staying power.

| He certainly doesn't have the baggage Hillary had, and, he'll probably have a better chance of bringing the parties together than she would have. However, the Democrats have failed to win the Senate, and have a reduced majority in the Congress, so Biden being president doesn't necessarily mean much will change from a legislative perspective. Although, at least Biden can get the big pen out and bypass them anyway.
It's also important that the Democrats start planning for 2024, because it's highly unlikely he'll get a 2nd term. I'm assuming Harris will be the planned successor, but she's obviously not going to be very popular with a lot of white America, and she's a polarising figure in the black community also.

| For all Trumps faults and apparent psychopathy / narcissism, the one good thing he has done is resisted bombing innocent people in far flung parts of the world, despite internal pressure to do so. Biden won’t resist and the will become more unsafe as a result.

It really doesn't take much effort to find the facts to correct your detachment from reality.

| Apart from north Korea, trump's foreign policy has been pretty awful. Thankfully, it looks like Biden will try to sign America back up to the Paris climate agreement, the Cuba agreement, and the Iran nuclear deal on day 1, so Biden's foreign policy will surpass Trump's entire tern in office in 1 day! Although, it could well be as good at gets.

| Fair play to the Donald.
He's discovered the covid vaccine cure all on his own before departing office.
