What Joe Biden won - and what he didn't

Biden beat Trump. Now what? Ezra Klein explains.
Watch more of our election coverage: vox.com/ElectionVideos
The 2020 US election is over, and former vice president Joe Biden will be the 46th US president. He’s the first to defeat an incumbent president in 28 years, and he did it in part by unifying the Democratic Party against Donald Trump, bringing members of the party’s left wing into his campaign after beating Bernie Sanders in the primary, and crafting an aggressive policy platform.
But Biden’s agenda will most likely be met by a Republican-controlled Senate, whose leader, Mitch McConnell, presided over the complete stonewalling of the last Democratic president’s agenda, and likely intends to do so again. This despite the fact that many of Biden’s policies enjoy the support of most Americans, and McConnell’s Senate caucus represents a minority of them.
In other words, Biden’s decisive victory margin of several million votes was basically good enough for a stalemate. In this video, Vox editor-at-large Ezra Klein explains what makes that possible -- a Republican Party dedicated to making sure a minority controls the country -- and how Joe Biden’s first priority should be unwinding that system back to democracy.

@@arkalt4066 Hello Fellow Londoner, I live in North London . I'm not as lucky as you since I need to walk about 4 mins to get to my local. I've never in my life waited more than 2 minutes to vote. Tbh... I don't think I've ever waited in a line to vote.

[@elessarraben]

@xamarmm you're absolutely right and if it's okay with you, I'm not sure that non-Americans know what gerrymandering is so I'll give them the short of it. A quick google search will show that it's a manipulation of boundries of an electoral constituency so as to favor one party or class. Basically, regions are grouped together based on how officials want to manipulate the governing of an area. They can carve through an entire city separating them from each other to further enhance their support. So if say, a yellow party is drawing out the lines, they can take a look at an orange area and draw out the map so the area will look more yellow than red. If it helps, look up Chicago's 4th congressional district to see how extreme it can get. This can have major implications for not only how the representatives of an area is elected, but what sort of funding an area can receive to make it a better place to live. Certain areas will face direct voter suppression by some half-assed excuse stating that their area is not appropriate enough to put in a ballot collection office so thousands of people will have to travel to a specific center for hundreds of thousands of other people to put in their vote.

As a Canadian, seeing this sort of political stance, especially in opposition to democracy as a whole, is utterly terrifying.

[@tangent4351]

As a fellow Canadian, I agree. Honestly, I was already uncomfortable with how open Mitch McConnell was with his 'criticisms' about policies and people he doesn't like, and now to see the sheer amount of unrest and doubt Trump has sown into to the minds of the American people is, as you've said, absolutely terrifying. Never in a million years did I think a coup attempt could occur in the USA, it's just so far from what America as a whole stands for, let alone coming from the President of the dang country. These are scary times. But I'm really hoping Biden can step up and calm the civil unrest and then move on to reestablishing America as a proper democracy again:/

Yes and it truly boggles my mind because I wanna know why people did not vote down the party line on a ballot? Do they not realize how the government is set up with this two party system? Biden won’t be able to do anything because the Senate is a Republican majority, the House also picked up some Republican seats, and arguably, the Supreme Court is also “conservative-leaning” (which could have the potential to be packed as the Democrats have flirted with that idea). This situation gives me pause. Either the disdain for Trump was so great that people just went with Biden, or the plausibility of faulty voting has occurred.
