Sure, but Trump didn't sound like he was lost at the grocery store. Most of what Trump said was nonsense he made up on the spot but he said it with confidence. Trump knows his supporters won't fact check him; Biden is burdened with the truth. It's not fair but we unfortunately need someone who can spar with Trump on stage. If someone flusters Trump on stage he will spiral out of control.
Out of two old men, I would prefer a bald man with a stutter who’s burdened by truth, than a bald man who’s such a compulsive liar he can’t remember which lie he told which group.
Great could you convince the rest of the nation or are we just taking about you here?
Never will get the point of infighting in politics, if one sides willing to ignore the faults of their candidate, why in the world would you risk losing for pride and principle? It’s cutting off your nose to spite your face.
You didn't get it. Sure I'll vote for Biden but what in the world makes you think the average American will? Most Americans are legit illiterate (and as racist and greedy as can be).
I swear some people seem to legit have no idea what's going on in this country or who our fellow citizens and noncitizens are
Bingo bingo bingo bingo BINGO
Dems be bringing a paper straw to a lightsabre fights and somehow we're the bad people for mentioning we'd like a candidate that could win
No I get it… just not sure why you think running around in a public forum exclaiming like a chicken with its head cut off will accomplish anything but divisive panic. It’s like throwing gas on a fire, and crying out you’ve been helping.
So we can't even talk openly about our opinions if they disagree with the goals of the Democratic party? See we all have our lines. This is mine.
Imo, politics isn't won by hiding your true beliefs and, for lack of a better word, being fake. Maybe it did in the past, but I don't think you can fool people that actually care.
Based on your comments I would have to assume the things you say will always be filtered by your opinion of how it will impact the Democratic party, and I personally think that's a terrible way to advocate for policies you support (unless you're a politician, which in that case I could somewhat understand). I'm open to changing my mind, but I don't think I've ever even heard an activist say something like that either
I wasn’t aware you speaking down, demanding immediate acceptance of your opinion was a “discussion.” I am but a meek lowly NPC, unwilling to eat your golden apple, comrade.
