I sadly foresee neither candidate being as effective in office as Biden has been. Trump will destroy us, and Harris will likely have every GOP voting against everything she tries to do, with some doubling down on sexism, racism, and who knows what other debotchery. Biden was far enough white, I mean right, that some Republicans would agree to things. The gloves seem to be off now; it used to be if you represented your populous wrong you would get voted out. Right now Republicans will vote directly against anything put forth by her, even if it includes cutting their own nose off.
I’m not saying Biden did all the right things, I’m saying he was able to traverse a polarized legislative branch and get at least a couple things passed.
I do worry that the “silent majority” (aka closet racists and misogynists) could fuck up the election. I said it on debate night that I worried people would run Biden off for that debate; they’ll be forced to run Kamala and the Dems lose because some people don’t want to vote a mixed race woman.
Having said that, she appears to be winning in the polls, and I hope it stays that way on election day. Long way to go though.

So exactly what happened when Obama was president?
Look at the Affordable Care Act vs Obamacare (yes, it’s the same thing- tell that to the Republicans), or the handling of the supreme Court while Obama was president.
Bipartisan compromise went out the window with a brown man as president; a brown woman having the potential to be president is already making their heads explode.
Didn’t the Affordable Care Act go through because the Democrats held the majority for 2 months in which they passed it without the GOP being able to block it? I could be wrong about that
