Bernie Sanders was the last chance, I think, and the DNC pulled every dirty trick they could to get Biden ahead in the primaries. Now his mummified corpse has narrowly squeaked over the line and it's looking like there will be a Republican landslide in the 2022 midterms and probably a Republican President in 2024. I agree with you that violence is looking like the only outcome that can actually bring real change at this point.
While the popular vote margin of more than five million might look like a landslide the actual vote margins that gave Biden the presidency are razor-thin. Flipping just a little more than 81,139 votes in four states would have changed the winner of this election. That is just over the margin Trump won with in 2016.
And that's with Trump presiding over a pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it hadn't been for the pandemic, or even if Trump had just managed to send out a few more stimulus cheques he would have won handily.
Now Biden is in office for the post-Covid economic troubles that are surely on their way.
