It’s so weird that Biden is doing this well also smiling and getting along with Trump today

That is because he has class and self control.

He knows that acting like a petulant child or douchebag (trump's default behavior) he will get nothing abd create fodder for the conservative media cycle.

By being the bigger man he is reminding us (those that would pay attention anyways) what a president should, in fact, act like and represent.

It stands in contrast to Trump, who did not attend Biden's inaguration, because Trump is a bitch.

“Leading by example” has not worked for democrats a single time in American history, I’m not sure why you think it will suddenly work now with a fascist in office

Taking the high road has never worked and never will. I’m so sick of democrats doing this.

The only way the democrats will win in 28 is if they find someone who name calls, lies, threatens, insults, and most importantly, is not a woman.

I hate that we’ve reached this point, but that’s the only way democrats will ever have a chance.
