The government has little integrity and by the time we're done with the Biden/Harris years the government integrity left which will open the door for a national split or a period of government reforms which will result in the destruction of the Democratic party. I doubt the Democratic party could win a two front war.

You seem to be projecting again.  The Republicans have bought into the unraveling mindset, buying into a policy of greed and criminality.  The Democrats are much more in crisis mode.  For a time they will not have a problem with integrity.  They will be working too hard on the crisis problems.  

This will change in time.  Any party which holds power too long will become corrupt.  The mood of the country will shift.  For the moment, though, a swing and a miss.

Good summary, if a bit more optimistic than I am myself.  Trump and his cabal have broken something that's necessary to democracy, and mending it (or not) may be Biden's #1 task, whether he wants it or not.  I've recently heard some serious grumbling about the roles the two parties have assumed in the last few decades, where the GOP creates messes for the Dems to clean up, but Trump is (hopefully) a special case.  If Biden accomplishes that mission and  bows-out after one term, that paradigm might finally be broken.
