Before he was even elected, I and countless others questioned whether or not Joe Biden was the leader to meet this moment. With the coronavirus pandemic raging, inequality rising, and people desperate for change regardless of where they might find themselves on the political spectrum, there’s no denying that whoever would occupy the office of the President following Trump would face unique challenges they would need to be willing to tackle. To this day, watching the Democrats rapidly coalesce around the most milquetoast, boring, status quo politician they could find in an effort to beat the candidate who not only polled well against Trump, but got people more excited than any Democratic candidate in decades just to stop medicare for all and higher taxes on the wealthy was an experience that has forever changed the way I view politics. Not only that, they organized better against Bernie Sanders than they ever did against the GOP.

Nevertheless, here we are with President Joe Biden, left wondering what is going to happen next.
