The problem with most Americans is that they have their point of view and dont really want to listen to alternatives, let alone get a load of different perspectives before forming an opinion, but I have seen that here with Brexit and other things, so maybe its just the way of the world now.
The worrying thing is that 70m still supported Trump and think he and his opinions on fake news, media, conspiracies etc are true and they wont easily be swayed from their opinions.
For example this is a man who has claimed rigged decisions about 6 times when he didnt win or get what he wanted and some of the public still think hes right about this election being rigged
I like Kamala Harris, but I don't think she is an suave, likeable or as good an orator as Obama
Biden hopefully will be seen as someone not too offensive to the Trumpites, that really is the best we can wish for
The economy will play a big part here now, Obama faced an unprecedented recession and did magnificently to turn the country round really well, which culminated in record highs on the NasDaq not long after Trump got it, who took credit - Trump and the Republicans
Now Biden will be facing that all over again and you now who will be blaming him for a crappy economy? the Trumpites and the Republicans who will try and get in once things look on the up again to take credit again
