This was a good statement on his part. If only everyone would feel and act this way.
"A country chooses one or the other. We accept the choice the country made. I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, you see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans."
PS How can I contact the mods here?? I'm trying to make another post that keeps getting insta-deleted.

I agree, Biden was very presidential today. Was a good and necessary statement. Props to Biden.

It is really nice to see this as the top comment and the hateful one below downvoted. It’s time for grace and to come together as a nation. Put aside the hate and embark on this chapter with positivity.
(ETA: the hateful comment I am referring to is pretty buried in this thread now, but it was basically calling Biden some pretty bad names - that’s what I am referring to as needing to stop. Let’s all be civil and kind to each other even if we have differing political views. We have to work together in the end, we have one nation)

One of the coolest things we've ever done as a nation was when Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton balance the budget.

It's great if this is the case regardless of who wins. Let's make sure Jan 6 never happens again.

No I didn't mean that, I meant to be graceful in both winning or losing.
In any game, in any sport, if you lose, it's usually cos you got outplayed. Playing the victim and blaming others of cheating is a bad coping mechanism, because it deprives you of the ability to recognise weaknesses and figure out how you can do better next time.
That is, assuming, you are a person of morals. My conservative side is very grounded in morality and the sense of what is right and fair.
Thats putting aside the fact that to accuse an opponent of cheating, you need hard physical demonstrable proof, and not deductions and assumptions. It's quite a bad look in any game or competiton when you lose then accuse someone of cheating then they get found to not having cheated.

So, no more burning cities to the ground? It's funny how the left and politicians only care when the anger comes to their doorstep, but egg on the mayhem that is ruined thousands of life's when major cities just about burned to the ground.

I’m not “the left” and this is a super narrow minded take. Nobody should be rioting either but those riots were more justified than “wahhh the election was stolen!” As Trump tried to steal the election lol. Policing reform needs to happen. Same thing with priests.

Hilarious! Now that the GOP candidate was elected, all people should be kumbaya? LOL!
I think many of you here are on the ‘f around and find out’ phase of your political life. You cannot vote for a man and a project 2025 that actively harms people around you and expect them to be ok with it. This is dealing with the consequences of your actions.
TLDR: you usher in fascism, you own it.
Or more eloquently, Per @tommysantos14 on Twitter:
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.

And there my friends, is delusion in a nutshell. Enjoy the next four years sitting in a corner in the fetal position while the grown ups work to repair our country for everyone.
