Joe For the (Albeit Small) Win

So yeah, Biden was admittedly, approximately our 17th choice for President. And while he started out strong and bracingly progressive, in his first year he's often floundered, winning some, losing many - too often because he somehow still believes, even now, in the tired myth of bipartisan civility. For once, on Monday, he spoke truth to malevolent idiocy in the blathering form of Fox News hack Peter Doocy. And many applauded: "Today is the day Joe Biden became presidential."
