10. I hope this is not taken the wrong way but...Biden and the Democrats should have done much more to prevent what is going

on today, to prevent a criminal from reaching the presidency. They could have increased the number of judges on the supreme court, and although Kamala Harris is someone I admire, and that I feel was more than ready to become president, we have to accept the fact that the USA is a misogynistic society, and the prospect of trump reaching the president demanded hard decisions, a different candidate, and I hate to say this but, a man, should have been chosen.

If Biden was not feeling well prior to the debate that ended up being a debacle for Biden and the Democrats, he should have postponed it. I understand that hindsight is 20/20, but they are supposed to know these things, they are supposed to be able to predict. And the campaign should have been much more precise in the criticism of trump and the republicans, more aggressive.

There are other legal measures that could have been taken to prevent this guy from ever becoming president again, and none were taken. And now, Schumer and the Democrats seem to be sleep at the while, again...this is bad.
