Biden won by ~7 million votes.

The "normal" people aren't as evenly divided as you might think.

You assume it's about personal wealth and money, but that's not necessarily
the case. There are other possibilities.

That didn't answer the question.

Biden is not ruining the country. Put pressure on your local government to
get those pipes fixed. Find other like-minded people and demand
answers. Complaining about it on here is accomplishing nothing.

Apparently he said, "vote for Biden."

Trump helps some people, but mostly himself. We need a president that helps
all people. But any attempts to help people who aren't named "Aaron Thomas"
get described by you as a "cash grab."
