Agree with alot of what you're saying, but you're also telling half of the story here.
He never had any ability to 'UNITE' the country. Remember how 'racist' the Chinese travel ban was? Remember members of the opposition party urging people to celebrate the Chinese New Year? Remember how Democratic debates were happening at that time? Remember how Trump was gonna impose Martial Law, because he's such a tyrant & dictator?
The notion that 'if he'd have just done this, or that' is absolute folly & armchair QBing at it's finest.
I'm not even remotely suggesting that he's some great 'uniter' either. There was zero climate for unity.

You are an irony machine.
Let's see if I can explain this on your level.
1. Each time you post to claim that I "can't quit posting," you by definition can't quit posting. It makes me chuckle when I read it. I'm sure you will respond to complain about me responding again. The message board cycle of life, lol.
2. YOU were the one that made the pedantic response to him. I pointed it out. To claim that I am sensitized by his statement because I pointed out your response is well, consistent with your typical level of logic but not real logical for anyone else.

The problem with that is that we Would also likely get a Democrat’ senate which means the morons will try to “fix” things by raising taxes which always screws things up ironically. I don’t want the feds trying to fix anything except the military and foreign policy. The states And private sector are designed to fix All the other things.

We'll see. There are almost 10 million jobs in the oil & natural gas industry, and many of these jobs are concentrated in a handful of states. Biden's comments about moving away from this industry and becoming carbon neutral by 2030 could end up losing him these states. They could mobilize apathetic voters that weren't planning to vote.
This probably wasn't a smart move by Biden. He's tried hard to convince people that he isn't against fracking, but that doesn't matter much if he plans to move away from the industry over the next 5-10 years.

I'm trying to think of people I have met in the O&G industry that would be potential Biden voters and I can't really think of any. Heck, my own mother, who is pretty liberal on most issues, worked in the industry for 30 years and would never consider voting for a dem. I'm sure there are some, but I just think it would be because that isn't their reason for voting. I guess as you said, we will see.
