He did get a lot of the Hispanic vote...
Too bad they didn't live in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

So, point being, democrats, sorry, but don’t expect Biden to do anything remotely progressive....which shouldn’t be a huge surprise after 43 years of conservative, corporatist behavior 100% of the time.
And republicans, sorry, but you won’t be seeing the “socialist apocalypse “ you’ve all been doom porning for, just more of the same, largely trumpite, neoliberal Republican policies, which you will likely be tricked into calling commie pinko policies...... until your guys are doing them again.
As to the future....
My expectations are that no matter who won, we will be facing calamity. The next four years holds millions of foreclosures, bankruptcy, and evictions. This is not a lockdown or covid issue, no other nations are facing the unemployment, foreclosure or bankruptcy issues we are. It’s due to trumps policies, or lack thereof. But there’s also the subprime market collapse that is rapidly approaching, and which hasn’t been addressed or even mentioned by trump, the republicans or democrats, or Biden for that matter. Expect the 08 crisis again. Then there’s the massive debt overhang that had almost all us corporations on the line of insolvency even before covid, also not mentioned or addressed by the above. Expect the collapse of the US dollar, and at least 5% annual inflation for years into the foreseeable future, which the fed has stated it is now aiming for.
In response I expect the us will flail around with micro aggressions and wars, as it tries to hold on to its crumbling empire in the way all crumbling empires have, along with reduced freedoms and increased authoritarianism. Which will come at the same time as drastically increasing unrest from the masses about to be unhoused, bankrupt, and hopeless. As we’ve seen, the more free time Americans have, coupled with the less they have to lose equals civil unrest and mayhem.

and heaven forbid the Republican party never takes to the streets like the left did this year, because if/when they do, there will be a clear winner easily...

Why would they do that? They have careers and family to take car of....lol Who the hell would risk their career over Biden winning. I hope Biden wins and Harris replaces him in a couple of years...Harris running in 2024 will be dead in the water for her. I'll take a couple of # years to get all 3 branches of the Goverment in 2024.

If he wants to get anything done at all he has to pander to the far left
Not if he has a repub senate. That would be the last thing he should do to get things done.

So, it appears Biden will be winning by 72 electoral votes. As I predicted, that’s not even a close election, though it may have seemed so due to the process. Now, for my next prediction, Biden will choose not a single progressive for his cabinet. In fact, I expect it will be staffed with several republicans, such as John kasich who almost beat trump last election, and will likely go on to beat Harris in the next election if he is in the cabinet. Also likely are jeff flake, Charles baker, and Charlie dent, folks who voted along with trump on 90% of issues. Strange that.

All these things predate trump in their making, are imminent and disastrous, and are studiously ignored by democrats and republicans alike, just as the 08 crisis was.

Quite a few on the right are concerned that if they dont win this election, the right will struggle to ever win another one...
Especially if the left gets their way and gives citizenship to all the illegals in this country.. Not to mention, they'll have a template for cheating for future elections...

You really think he's going to pander to the progressives? The DNC are already trying to blame the progressives for their underperformance even though it's pretty much thanks to the progressives' grassroots efforts that got Biden elected.
