I voted for Biden because he wasn’t Donald Trump.

So did I, but I have to say he's done better than I expected. I almost think because he's another Old White Man he can slip stuff through that would have gotten shot down by the rest of the Old White Men if Obama had tried it, or a woman, or even a progressive OWM. Maybe it's because they know he's not going to press for more progressive goals so they don't see it as a slippery slope and dig in their heels. At least in his geezerly way he seems to have the best long-term interests of the people at heart.
