The reason we pick Biden is because he is helping not harming Native American people, and he has a multi-ethnic coalition. My family and friends have a range of skin colors and religions and nationalities.
I agree that Biden has helped indigenous people of not only the US but of the entire Western Hemisphere. Also, he is the only President that has relied on the wisdom and tenacity of women and people of color in what traditionally have been positions only occupied by men. Look at his judicial nominations as well as his cabinet and advisors.
Some have been a great asset, some a millstone and some invisible. But then, women were supposed to be invisible. The wise visible ones were very brave.
Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive Republican something that rarely exists in politics. My favorite Senator of all time -- George W. Norris came onto the Washington scene during Teddy's administration.
His most fatal flaw was saying on the night of his election in 1904 that he would not run again and then he didn't.
Who knows how many terms he might have served and what changes he would have made?
Norris Dam, the first built in the TVA system, and located in a beautiful setting, is named for Senator Norris, who sponsored the legislation that enacted the TVA. TVA made a HUGE impact on a region by electrifying and controlling the flooding of the TN River. (Availability of abundant power was part of the reason for siting the Manhattan Project here in the 40s.)
Senator Norris is responsible for Nebraska switching from a bi-cameral legislature to a unicameral body as you may be aware.
He traveled to all 93 counties in Nebraska drumming up support for the change and he succeeded.
It is pointless for many states to have 2 legislative bodies especially if both bodies have a supermajority of one of the parties. A state Senator in ME told me her goal is to get rid of the Senate in ME. Good idea I think.
He had an incredible team that enabled him to get so much of the credit, they made him far better than he could have been on his own, as he also made them better than they could have been on their own.
Me too, and I'm nearly 92. Although I'd have a hard time picking between Franklin Roosevelt and Joe Biden.

But he did listen to Eleanor, a plus in anybodyтАЩs book. Well, most
She was another amazing First Lady. Behind almost every great President is a very wise woman (and oftentimes their kids as well).

Melania good the "invisible" to new heights.
The thing she seems to be most recognized for is "I don't care, do you?"
I thought that coat was the only truth to come out of a trumpтАЩs lying mouth the whole four years
FDR is still #1 in my book.
He was a man of his time, like we all are.
WellтАжI would argue IтАЩm a woman of my time. My husband would too. ЁЯШД
As am I, and I remember when women were restricted to the extent that repubs want to send us back to.

Thanks for this.

Abe Lincoln 1st FDR 2nd. Well, let's not forget Washington.
Let's not forget LBJ either. He dragged us into the 20th century on civil rights.
