If I were still living in the US, I would have voted for Bernie in
the democratic primaries - not that it would have done any good.
It seemed like no matter what, Biden was going to be nominated.
The democratic establishment went to great lengths to protect and
push Biden's nomination forward. Consider that Trump was impeached
not because his regime kidnapped infants and children and tortured
asylum seekers, but because he tried to smear Joe Biden.

But Biden is just a status-quo candidate for the corporatist machine
that rules Washington. I suspect that wall street and the corporate
lobbyists can't wait to see him in office. Trump proved impossible
to control, always saying the quiet part out loud. His corruption
was on full display. Biden is a savvy politician, and won't make
such mistakes.

And while Trump is quite literally insane (I don't see how anyone
can listen to Trump talk for even just a few minutes and not see
that he is off his rocker), I don't see much changing with Biden.
If anything, he'll usher in four years of "normalcy", which really
means perpetuating wealth disparity in the US. Expect more corporate
bailouts, and little change for the working class. I don't expect
any federal prosecution of Trump, as deserving as he is of that
fate. The US didn't prosecute any former presidents from Nixon to
the present day, I don't expect them to start now.

I don't expect a President Biden to usher in medicare-for-all,
despite the pandemic showing an urgent need to get health care away
from the private insurance behemoth and de-couple it from people's
employers. I don't expect him to support any increase in labor
rights, or to increase taxes on the wealthy in any meaningful way.

I do expect a President Biden to handle the pandemic far better
than Trump has (which is to say, not at all, so not really a high
bar), but in the service of the US consumer economy, not for any
humanitarian concern.

From the perspective of Canada, he will provide some stability in
terms of trade and immigration, and won't declare Canada a national
security threat, so most Canadians will welcome a Biden presidency.

And here is the big one - I don't expect a President Biden to make
any meaningful change towards addressing climate change. I think
he'll revert most of the de-regulation enacted during the four years
that Trump played President, and he will pay lip-service to "green"
initiatives, none of which will do anything long-term to help curb
global warming. Subsidies to oil companies will continue, and US
consumption of fossil fuels will increase again once the pandemic is
under control. The last US president to mention the possibility of
Americans making sacrifices for the environment was Carter, and you
can see how well that worked out for him.
