How about you wait and see what happens when he takes office before you #### your pants any further. The Trump admin has not been cooperative in sharing information so they are going in blind. Good leadership does not make change until they have a complete assessment of current situation and have a plan to achieve the desired state.
I've read quite a few things that Biden has "back pedaled" on and am a little concerned. But I'm also smart enough to recognize how the system works and how many of these promises require a significant level of cooperation from congress to make them a reality. That is a wait and see game. So while it would be nice to see Biden come in and make my student loans disappear I understand that when you're talking about a trillion and a half dollars that it requires an act of congress to make it happen. So a little patience to see what shakes out. Mitch McConnell is still the most powerful man in politics, so that comes into play with anything that will happen.

Pathetic. "Engage a voting block" eg. lying to the public to win an election. This is not a thing that should be celebrated.

Welcome to politics. You think that your socialist buddies are any different? AOC makes lots of promises and delivers on none of them, because politics is about compromise. I don't know why this is a surprise to anyone? You state what you would like to do or hope to do, then deal with the reality of trying to work the system to make those desires become reality.

Trump's border and immigration policies have been nothing short of barbaric.

Yes they have, and they will change. It is going to take a change in law and a change in leadership in DHS for the culture to change. Again, executive orders don't change a damn thing if the department charged with implementing the policy is not equipped to do so. Change has to take place and that will take some time. You have to be a pretty big simpleton to think that any politician is going to come in, sign a piece of paper (sharpie or not) and see broad systemic change. Get a grip, you're smarter than that.
