    Yeah, I think many people will be voting for Biden/Harris (and others) as a reaction to Trump's failures - rather than supporting Biden/Harris successes. But, I'm sure there are just as many voting for Trump - who are doing so because they don't support Biden/Harris.

    What can we do about it? Nothing I can think of. For, we don't make voters justify why they vote the way they do. If we did, it'd be interesting - but wouldn't change the results.

    I keep asking for examples of “Biden/Harris successes”...OK, just one will do...and can’t prompt any yet...

    Shouldn’t a guy getting your vote have some indicia of a success somewhere in his/her background, especially when he’s been in the seats of power for nearly half a century?

    According to what I "overheard" yesterday.. With the young, educated nerd segment of society..

    One of the Biden/Harris team's major accomplishments is.. They are.. "Not-Trump".

    The Two Candidates —

    Trump is the T-Rex of politics;
    Biden is the Possum.


    Don’t know of anybody that likes a T-Rex monster, but when foreign forces and the mob threaten, who wants a possum on their side?

    A good analogy, Joe. For, the Possum survived and thrived. The T-Rex did not.
