51% is not a mandate. Besides, what do you think the break down in his voters is between (voted for Biden because we need to get this maniac the fuck out)/(voted for Biden so we can attack climate change)? I'm all for doing things that address climate change, because almost all of it is developing technology. We should do that, like we always have. This is only different because somehow the Rs have decided to fight developing that tech. But he doesn't have a mandate. If you don't believe me, next time you're in a parking lot count the % of SUVs compared to Minis.

But no, he doesn't have the Senate. He might after Jan. 5, but that and Joe Manchin are the limits on what he can do.

I'm not clear what is going on. CNN says it is now 48/48. So there are 4 left: Alaska and North Carolina seem safe for the R. So 48/50. Then there is a run off in Georgia. But that is only 1 seat? Why aren't there 100? Seriously, I can't find a simple answer.
