You said you voted for Trump in 2016. What made you change your vote to Biden this time?

There were a variety of reasons. To list a couple:
- I thought he would be advantageous to me economically. Instead, he failed to significantly roll back certain regulations and restrictions put on the financial industry and his tax reform resulted in me getting taxed 5 figures more than I ever did under Obama.
- He proved that he is an ineffective leader and can’t handle a crisis/high pressure. His total unwillingness to try and get the pandemic under control (instead downplaying it and not listening to doctors/scientists) shows that he is totally unfit to lead the nation. One of the most important aspects of a President IMO is their ability to lead during a crisis. Trump can’t do that.
- His self-serving corruption and perversion of our justice system and other things (such as removing Inspectors General to replace them with lackeys) is a serious problem. It represents a danger to everything we are supposed to represent. Can’t have that going on.
- While I generally vote Republican for fiscal reasons, I also take climate change/the environment very seriously. I think Trump has done way more damage there than I thought he would.
- We are significantly worse off from an international perspective than we were before Trump was President. Both in terms of foreign relations/our power on the world stage, and also economically (e.g., China etc.).
