So for those of us who voted for country vs party and helped to kick Trump out...do you think the Dems might try to respect our sacrifice by not enacting a bunch of super progressive policies and trying a more moderate approach like Clinton? Or are we doomed to a strong leftward lurch?

Biden is an establishment moderate who would be considered slightly conservative in any other developed country. As much as I would love to see truly progressive policies, it ain’t gonna happen 🙃

I totally agree but conservatives of the Trumpism variety have fallen for it hook line and sinker. The Democrats really need to focus on how they are not actual socialists. It pains me that it is even a discussion but it is

Democrat here and yes! I do worry about the rest of the racist or those that “are not racist”, but don’t care what about what others do. McCain, Romney, and Bush are 10 folds better than Trump.

Covid has people moving from the coasts into inner America. I think this blue to red state shift will play a factor in next election. The continued demographic shift will also play a part as well.

The Republican Party will have to change identity or concede on certain issues. Can see myself vote republican to preserve the republic. Think dominance by one side is never a good thing and causes abuse of power.

Some people on here are acting like Biden is winning because of his policies and that the GOP needs to recalibrate

But it seems to me (especially with as close as it is), Biden won because of people like me who hate Trump vs people who actually want him to move forward with all of his platform.

If Trump wasnt such a reviled candidate by so much of the center, we would be talking about what the new Republican President should focus on with a narrow Senate majority (and possible narrow house majority?)

M2, being pedantic, they’ve had almost a decade since Obamacare was passed, and have controlled the Senate for a while. Where is the Bill for this? Where is the framework, the guidelines, the approach?

Watch for the return of fiscal conservatism despite giving a huge and permanent tax cut to corporations. Their dishonesty is very real, as is their cowardice.

Super progressives are pessimistic about Biden, so that should tell you what you need to know. Biden will be Obama 2.0, especially Obama's second term where he didn't have Senate control.

What do you think or hope GOP will do to reset and court more left leaning folks?

Lindsey Graham will, I’m sure, emerge as a leading conservative progressive, firmly committed to the ideals espoused by the people of this great nation. Sorry, that may have been the Clorox martini talking. Expect him and the two faces of Susan Collins to rewrite history. Highlighting that Trump was a race baiting xenophobic bigot, and he learned his lessons.

In reality, Republicans aren’t going to try to move to the center or make outreaches to the left. They will demonize them, accuse them of being socialists/ communists/ child eaters etc., and, despite the corporate tax cut that failed to pay for itself, return to fiscal conservatism. They will block Democrat-driven infrastructure expenditures, tax hikes on people making 400K+ and corporations.

Hello All, Office Sup. for a major hospital, w/ 15 years experience. I have lots of experience in every position in the office, especially in training. I recently applied for an EPIC trainer position within the company and according to Glassdoor the average pay is about 23k more than what I currently make. I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?
