Reading comprehension 101: I state that these projections and polls "mean absolutely nothing". They're speculation, not factual statistics.
The US hasn't been this divided since the Civil War, and in the era of misinformation, disinformation, "fake news" and all the political rhetoric putting any kind of weight in these things is a waste of your time.

Please explain to me how a senator from Delaware is supposed to "change the country"? That is literally impossible.

Sigh, again that's not what my post said. I meant as President he's not going to be the one to save the United States from its current circumstances and be some morale savior for people who hate about Trump. Biden is the same, just on the opposite side of the aisle with more experience. But to think one of the longest standing senators in the history of the country, and Vice President for eight years, had no ability to enact change is willful ignorance. In fact it's demonstrably false seeing as Biden wrote the Senate version of the legislation for the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that made massive changes to federal law enforcement, penal system, court systems, et al.
4 Nov is going to be a wild day in the United States. I have a lot of friends and business contacts down there who are legitimately afraid of what may happen to the country. Walmart pulling its firearms off the selves now is laughable, there's been an ammo shortage across the US for months (and that's insane) and prices surged 3-400%.
