DividedQuantum said: I'm just wondering. I think Bernie is the best candidate, and I would give my vote to him well before Biden. But, let's say Biden is the one on the ticket. Would you all rather be able to say that you didn't vote for Biden, or vote Trump out of office? Should the perfect be the enemy of the good?
get the privilege of looking at this as a Canadian not casting a vote but Biden red flags my triggers when he gets around kids and think my disgust with potentially discovering to have voted in support of a child abuser would weigh more heavily on my conscience than abstaining from voting and then having to fight as a guerilla rebel against a Hitler-esque democratically elected totalitarian reign
the gross part is that of the two, Biden being discovered as a child abuser is more likely than Trump getting around the apparatuses of split government power designed to mitigate such a grab for control as most recently demonstrated by the low likelihood of the department of justice receiving authorization to void citizen rights
sure, it is entirely possible that Trump or even Bernie are child abusers who are good at hiding their transgressions and Biden is just innocent and weird but, again, it comes to the vehement red flagging that exists for me -- to ignore it and be wrong would weigh more on my conscience than having no indications and then finding out something terrible about a candidate

Trump was one of those guys who used to hang out woth Epstein. They all run in the same circles. Joes is just too old and senile to cover up his creepiness at this point.
Yeah, but Trump has always struck me as having been too caught up in Ivanka to have fiddled with others through her age range like he had an illusion of love causing a fixation
would still be totally grossed out if Ivanka came out with a tell-all after his death but kind of figuring Melania kept him in line -- or, rather, kept her isolated from him in vulnerable circumstances
but yeah just speaking as a victim of abuse to suffer reprecussions after knowingly ignoring red flags is experientially different, and has more of a haunting and self-blaming psychological effect, than not having flags develop in the first place
plus, am not saying my vote would go to Trump, just that such a scenario would result in me doing a write-in or not being motivated to vote whereas actually support Bernie as a candidate

I wonder what Joe would have done differently? It's a HUGE deal to ask the entire country to shelter in place, especially before shit hits the fan. 
Sure, it's possible Biden would have asked private companies to ramp up respirator and test production sooner, but Presidents can't really dictate what private companies do unless they take drastic measures, like invoke the Defense Production Act, which Trump has already done.

You've summed it up very well IMO, ballz.
Plus, while donnie has been a terrible president, he's been terrible in an embarrassing way for the most part (I said for the most part). But, to be sure, donnie hasn't nearly been terrible in a ronnie (raygun) sort of way.

It is a huge deal to ask the country to shelter in place, which is why trump has completely failed to lead in a damn thing and left everything up to the governors.
I know for a fact that Biden wouldn’t have spent two months pretending that nothing bad was gong to happen. He wouldn’t have ignored testing becasue tests would just make the numbers look bad. Trump has failed over and over and now we are paying the price. We could have actually prevented Much of this economic pain with competent leadership. I know for a fact that almost anyone would have done a better job than trump.

Yeah it is actually. He’s a totally incompetent sociopath. If you think there’s no difference between him and Biden, you ain’t thinking straight.

If you dont think Biden is a totally incompetent sociopath, you aint thinking straight. The one and single only reason that you give a fraction of a fraction of a fuck about that dementia-ridden corporate puppet creep is because you hate Trump so much. You are at the forefront of the 'bend over and take it' culture that has permeated American society and left us 'settling' at best for every fucking president since this bullshit system was shat out. It is no less than unethical to even participate in American politics anymore because we are all complacent in its boot-to-neck structure. We're fucked from day one. The best thing that could happen to humanity would be a time warp that sends us back to being neanderthaals and try to start from scratch again.

Yeah that’s a completely unhinged analysis. No point in arguing with people in such an irrational state. Good luck with the Biden Derangement Syndrome.

Tantrika said: For real tho, has Joe Biden been running on anything other than "I'm Joe Biden" and "Let's beat Trump"?
maybe my problem is getting my information via memes but was able to find out Bernie, Yang, and Warren's policy positions through people discussing them in popular forums but the only thing people discuss about Joe is the creepy fondling of children that prevents me from ever advising anyone to vote for him and him senile yelling strange phrases at people
is there anything in his platform to excite US citizens? Does he have a policy for Universal Health Care?
No. That pretty well covers it. I think he will push an Obama style healthcare plan; better than nothing and better than Trump, but more backward looking than forward.

At least bernie would have the chance to advance legislation with a democratic president. But sanders people want it all or nothing. There’s just something about this generation I don’t get. At least they don’t have much electoral power.

Hey it’s more your future than mine. You’re the one that’s gonna be stuck with a conservative judiciary for a generation that has been purposely designed to benefit corporate interests. Go ahead let them rule over you until they die about the time you reach my age and you won’t be able to do shit about it cause they are there for life. All because you were too butthurt your guy didn’t get the nod. 🤦♂️

Corporations aren't perfect, but they do make everything we own. What industries are the bad ones?
