17. Old school politician. He's better than *rump.

And because there (so far) is no indication of enough electoral shenanigans to overturn the election, he will turn over his position as tradition will have it.
He doesn't have to agree with it or like it, but the outcome was determined by our "Fellow Americans" who showed up -or didn't show up - to Vote.

This isn't a movie. Biden has to live in Reality, and he will do so in accordance with his ethical outlook.

I don't criticize him even though I'm unhappy with the outcome and understands what lies ahead.

Joseph Robinette Biden is who he is. He's done an outstanding job - the best he could. But there's no way to re-write a script and change the character of a human being into some sort of Superhero that can right the immediate wrongs in two and a half hours while we sit back with our popcorn and drink.

Living as a thriving community is hard work. Trying to maintain or better a community is thankless work.
