Most people didn't vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. Hell, there weren't even really any other candidates that were still running in the primary in my state.

I don't like the situation we're in any more than the next person... but that didn't start recently. The presidential election is a staying action, not a political shift. That's going to take a hell of a lot more than one person, no matter how many times they're called "the most powerful person in the world".
