Do you think he’s going to pocket it?
he shouldn’t do it I agree, perhaps he feels he has to given the fact that the orange pleb refuses to move on. No one has to give him money of they don’t want to.
By the way over 250,000 Americans have dies from a virus that refuses to acknowledge. There’s some pretty big things to deal eith on the US right now. And it isn’t happening.
I’m not interested in defending Biden. He’s underwhelming to me, but the point is that in a straight choice between Biden and Trump, which is what we just had, Biden is massively preferable.
Politically speaking, I suspect I’m not too far from you in that would love to see many left wing policies thrive in America. But I’m not going to cry about it, champ, or get angry, champ, as I recognize the times and the left winger I preferred didn’t advance enough to even get into the race to be President.
What did happen was that an extreme right winger just lost to a centrist (on an America scale). That’s progress to me. I have low expectations for the Biden Presidency, but to the degree he stops the unprecedented corruption and debasing of the Presidency, well… I’ll take it for now.
I hope that in the future the likes of AOC will carry the Sanders agenda forward and it will have its day.
@RedOverTheWater, I hope this doesn’t come across negatively as I consider you a level-headed poster. Setting aside tone and emotions, I feel like I understand your views as well as @DioufGates’ at times. Call me a middling wimp 
I think your view is valid given the hand we were dealt (ignoring for now that I too am uncomfortable in the way Bernie has been treated). Having said that, people are suffering and have for a long time. Incremental change, for them, may not come soon enough. For many, it’s already too late. I’m not smart enough to understand history, but Baldwin surely was and I think his views are quite pertinent even today:

Again, I don’t mean to speak for either of you and am caught between understanding both of you. But I do think there is an urgency for progress and I hope it comes soon. Otherwise I fear for us because there is no telling the eventual direction of the push and pull of unmet needs.
Unfortunately, equivocation is seen as weakness by the righteous. They will not relent 
Lads, don’t waste your time replying to Dioufgates. He’s gone.
It was the republican judge that swayed it for him.
Everything about that message stinks.
This reminds me of @Flobs standing up for his man of the match vote.
Wonder why he’s sort of throwing in the towel?
He is going to leave USA in some hot mess, isn’t he!!
… and there’s still people who wish to try and reason with me. Waste of time! 
All votes I choose legal votes must be counted to stop the fascist socialists of covfefe
What’s that???
I didn’t realise Kerry is still alive 
It’s a wierd ‘title’. I had never come across it before but a quick search indicates it’s an anglophile media/journalist thing.
Just wondering why it came about, is it an attempt to infer that the fight against climate change will take us back to feudal times?
As for Biden and Kerry I know little about their ‘policies’ on climate change but Biden does seem to take it seriously.
Covfeve!
Never heard of it so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covfefe
No shit. I thought @Kopstar just misspelled a word.
He did even if he doesn’t know the word he mispelt, only Trump knows that.
Tzar is the word used in American politics to describe a position that typically doesn’t have a formal, permanent role in the executive branch and has been created to coordinate the efforts of multiple agencies on one specific issue. In typical American press fashion they now just use it to describe anyone who appears to have a lot of authority over anything.
Good to see that Trump has finally realised he has to accept the transitioning of power to the next President.
Trump has completed his important last minute tasks and Biden can come in and clean up.
