(630 posts)Biden wasn't perfect, but he was what we needed after four years of the Trump Administration. Sometimes I think we might never have had a President Trump if Biden had run in 2016. History could have been very different if it had been Biden in 2016, Biden in 2020, and then Hillary or Harris in 2024.
Anyway, Biden was just what America needed after the chaos and instability of Trump. The biggest issue for me is Biden did his best to dig us out of the black hole created by Trump's mishandling of COVID. He did that and more. He was a rock of stability and sanity while being dogged relentlessly by a hateful Republican Party that doesn't want what's best for the country but for their Orange dictator and donors.
I hate that Biden has to go out like this, due to his age and deteriorating health. He's a very humble man who wants what's best for the country over what he desires as a politician. He'll be remembered as one of the most selfless and gracious presidents in history.
