Realistically, having Biden in office won't fix America. It'll still remain a broken, abusive and destructive country. The same way it was under Obama.
No person can "fix America" in a four year term.
It was never about that.
Right now, America has several giant wounds which are bleeding profusely.
For these wounds to heal, you must first stop the bleeding. Voting in Biden is the start of that process, not the end of it.
Meanwhile Trump wants to cut off a limb while saying it was dead weight, doing irreparable damage as America continues to bleed out.
If you want a better candidate, you need to be involved early on - in the primaries.
It's far too late to choose anyone else. Either Biden or Trump
are going to be president for the next four years. There is nothing you can do to change that.
That's why you have to choose between them. Either you do everything that you can to oppose Trump (vote Biden, and encourage others to do the same) or you are
letting him win.
And yes, it will be the same thing next election. Your choice will be Democrat or Republican again.
That's not going to change until there is electoral reform in America.
Until then, the best you can do is try to get a better Democratic candidate with more favorable policies, while doing what you can to push for reform.
Progress is going to be slow, but that doesn't mean you should give up and let the right win. The consequences of that are too dire.
Look, I think we ALL want the government to spend less of our money and not interfere in our lives. It's a pretty universal idea.
I don't think that's true at all. Taxation and government spending is hugely important.
The issue is who is getting taxed, how much they are being taxed, and where that money is going.
Public services are being critically underfunded in the US, with that money being spent on things like the military instead.
The poor are being taxed more while the rich pay less and corporations manage to not only pay zero taxes, but actually get massive rebates.
That system has to change. This doesn't mean "no taxes".
It means taxing the right people and having the biggest earners pay the most.
Then spending those taxes on things like public infrastructure: ensuring that everyone has access to affordable/public-funded healthcare, access to clean water, that roads and public transportation are being maintained, providing schools with the resources they need rather than teachers having to pay for supplies out of their own pockets, working to eliminate homelessness, developing a clean power grid, funding a modern public internet infrastructure etc.
The list of good that can be done is endless - and a lot of it is things that aren't going to get done without taxation/government funding.
