25. As President...

...you do listen to everybody. That is the job. That is what we all hated in Trump, his my way or the highway attitude.

Just because you listen to people doesn't mean you do what they say.

We all have to learn that everyone is talking to much and not listening. That is what got us here.

But it doesn't mean that facts don't matter.

It doesn't mean that mainstream news is fake.
It doesn't mean that there is no climate crisis.
It doesn't mean that the Coronavirus is a fake health conspiracy.
It doesn't mean the Russia is not interfering in our elections.
It doesn't mean that there isn't a fake facts conservative ecosystem that is exploding on digital platforms worldwide.

People with bad data can't make good arguments. If we want to have an adult conversation about facts and the way to deal with REAL political situations then so be it. What is wrong with that? Vengeance, while temporarily comforting, is not an operational political philosophy. Making real changes that affect real lives is.

I think that is exactly what we will get from President Biden and I will applaud him for it.
