I didn't vote for that fool. I voted for Jo Jorgensen.

Welcome to party loyalty 101. If it had been someone else besides Trump at the helm of the GOP, Biden wouldn't be President.

By not voting for Trump, you voted for Biden, the segregationist. Congratulations. You got everything you voted for.

By voting for Jorgensen, my vote didn't go to either Biden or Trump. I think they both suck. I took the 3rd party route back in 2016 as well. Picked Gary Johnson. I found both Clinton and Trump to be reprehensible. If you wanted me to support Trump, forget it, it's not happening. I'll vote for who I see fit, not who you want.

Biden the racist segregationist is in the white house because too few people voted for Trump. You did nothing to stop it. Minorities were doing better than ever with Trump in the white house, but apparently, that's not something you are interested it.

If minorities were doing better, it was no thanks to Trump. Unemployment rates were dropping as far back as 2013. Trump only gets credit for 1/20/2017 to 1/20/2021. Trump just maintained. And I spent 1/2 of the Trump administration a combination of unemployment/underemployed. I've been at full-capacity employment since 2019. I'm basically not much better off or worse off than under the Obama administration.

My opinion: I don't think you really care how minorities are doing. You're just unhappy that Trump's not in office.

I've learned I can't please anyone, so I'll vote for whoever I please. My vote didn't go to either Biden or Trump. I do not think either candidate would have made a good President. I would hope more people would stop being loyal to a candidate or a party. One of the reasons I would be alright with abolishing the party system.

Alright lets look at that then. Black unemployment under Obama never dropped below 8% while he was in office. Under Trump, it dropped all the way to 5.2%, setting several record lows from late 2016 through 2019. The previous record was 7% in April, 2000.

Hispanic unemployment under Obama never dropped below 5.4%, while under Trump, it dropped to a low of 4%, also setting a number of record lows in 2018 and 2019. The previous record was 5%, in December, 2006. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000009

Asian unemployment under Obama dropped under 3% for one month of his term. Under Trump, it set a record low of 2.0%, with the previous record set in December, 2006 at 2.4%.

Trump did better than "just maintained."

No, Biden is in the Whitehouse because Trump couldn't stop himself from saying absolutely CRAZY things on twitter and publicly denying the virus was real. (unfathomable that he did actually think it was real but didn't say it).. if he would have not done those two things and let the experts run the show, he'd be fine.

Bingo...and they’ll continue to make excuses because Trump. Let them reap what they sow with the new regime as they continue to complain about him.

Fauci the “expert” said there was “nothing to worry about”, while there was something to worry about from day 1. Because Trump isn’t an “expert” scientist/immunologist like Fauci the fraud is supposed to be.

You are kidding yourself .... you voted for Biden.
Embrace it, don’t run from it. That’s the beauty of the system we used to have ... vote your choice.

Biden voters voted for Crime, Open Borders and Riots/Burnings & Lootings.
They also voted for a Senile Old Man that is barely functional .... you got what you voted for.
Embrace it.
