Allow me to add a request for this Biden vote discussion. Don't tell us bad about Trump. Don't say Orange man bad. Don't say Trump didn't pay taxes.

Tell us positives about Biden the candidate.

That's like asking your crazy uncle to verbally describe a spiral staircase, with the stipulation that they must keep their hands in their pockets.

1) Easy to fool and manipulate.
2) Won't remember (plausible deniability).
3) won't live long.
4) will be a great opportunity to usher in the New World Order.
What's not to like comrades; we all will share in the big money the democrats will get us from big corporations!
But they promised!

He will fight for working families. He dedicated his life to public service.

Just kidding. These are the commonly used idiotic cliches.

The 2 choices are Gonorrhea or Cancer so we will probably go with Gonorrhea.
We are going to be screwed one way or another so we might choose one most likely to survive.

I guess I have to restate my case.

But IMO this is the main thing going for Biden. Nobody cares about him; he isn’t trump and that’s why people vote for him. He isn’t like Obama or sanders, who garnered true passion. He is just an anti-trump vote.

Just talking with a Democrat on Thursday, ( life long democrat, who has run for and been elected to local political office on several occasions) - even he is scared shitless of the possibility of Biden getting elected. I just told him, RELAX, Trump's victory will be overwhelming. - The riots, post-election - well, that's something else altogether. - Buy more ammo!

And may very well be his path to victory. Most people vote against, rather than for, now. He's not Hillary or Obama or Sanders = "well, he isn't Trump."

A good friend of mine, who pays attention, sent me this the other day. I don't normally watch "long" vids, but I watched this one.... TWICE. Watch it at least once if you're on the fence about who is going to control your future......maybe for the rest of your life....

My MIL is voting for Harris/Biden mostly because she gets ALL her news from CNN and NPR, also she's afraid Trump will do away with S.S. She also 'know's' Trump is a _______ (fill in the blank). She won't admit it but she desperately wants to see a women in the Whitehouse, doesn't matter who she is.
Add in the fact that Trump might make her youngest daughter get off welfare and actually get a job and that makes her a Biden voter!

RDN · Nov 1, 2020

I voted for the third (Libertarian-pro gun) candidate. Yes there was a third person running for president!
Couldn't go for Binden or any "Gun-grabbing" "Baby-killer" Democrat.
Didn't go for Trump this time again. I like some (I said some) of his policies, but he's a danger to our US democracy.

Traditional old school Democrats might disagree on issues or solutions but at least I feel like most of them loved America they just had different ideas.

Now, the modern day Democrats openly hate america. It's very sad.

Traditional Democrats should want no part of these commie marxists and should disavow them.

If you actually look at a significant portion of trump's political platform and compare it to bill clinton, it's really not that different.

JFK would be considered a conservative by today's left.

This is what I tell people also. The Democratic Party of even ten years ago (!) was not as insane as this one.

The democratic party of ten years ago did not have the outward boldness of socialism. Today they don't hide it. They actually promote it.

Please try to keep this relatively civil, I'm genuinely trying to understand.

We're all gun owners here, so I can't understand how anyone could vote for biden.

I'm voting for Biden. I'm a gun owner. I don't like Biden's gun policies at all. Here's the thing, they're both bad on guns with Biden being worse. Trump did nothing to restore any gun rights and put no pressure at all on the topic. He supported banning bump stocks. He had 2 years of both houses of Congress and he did nothing on this front. His inaction is complicit and not acceptable on this particular policy. Overall I don't view Trump's record on the 2A as favorable, so it doesn't help him earn any points with me.

I'm also not a single issue voter. I put everything on the scale and see who I think overall is better. Firearms policy is part of the picture, but not the entire picture.

If you're voting for biden, own it and explain to me what your reasoning is and why you feel it's in your best interest to vote for biden.

I'm sure there are some members here who will vote for him, I'm just trying to understand why. (I suppose this thread also applies to anyone who votes for cuomo)

I don't like Biden. I don't have a Biden sign in my yard, that being said....

I don't like Trump's tax plan that he passed - I don't appreciate him raising my taxes. I realize lots of peoples went down, but mine went up, so as far as it concerns me, his plan was a very real and quantifiable in dollars and cents step backwards.

Speaking of taxes, he never released his. Funny how a monumental braggart like Trump going on about how rich he is cowers and lawyers up when what would actually show how rich he is is asked for. You might not care, but it's my vote and I care, so yeah. My question is, if you won't show me a clear financial disclosure, what are you hiding? If you have to ask the question then.....

The way he treats other people and his general persona is repugnant. His demeanor towards others is everything I teach my two boys not to be. This doesn't mean I teach them to be passive... you can be strong and a leader without being an obnoxious asshole. When I was growing up as a kid, everyone said they wanted to be the president some day, fanciful wishes for sure - but there was always a level of respect and decency with the POTUS. Not Trump.

I could go on, but I don't feel like typing it all out...

Bottom line, I don't think Biden will be a good president, but he's not Trump, and given Trump's record, I'd rather have a Democrat that will do nothing than Trump who I view as counter productive and not worthy as a person of holding the office.

Most presidential elections are referendums on the POTUS when the incumbent is running for a 2nd term. It's not about the other guy, it's about all about the guy in there now. The question many ask is, "Do I want another 4 years of the current POTUS?" If the answer is no then they vote for the other candidate. Ironically this is what won Trump his 1st term, people had a history of Hillary and many didn't like her (me included, I did not vote for Hillary), and many people said I don't want her, so I guess I'll go with the guy with no political record to run on, because I know I don't want her.

masterswimmer · Nov 1, 2020

With Harris or even Biden as president this country grinds to a screeching halt to what it ever was. It will be unrecognizable and a place to be fearful of our former rights, which will have been taken away.

Biden voters, be very careful what you wish for. The bigger picture is at stake here.

10 years ago they just had bad policy positions.

Today they are completely insane.

They went from not understand how an economy works to denying gender exists.

Democrat here, gender certainly exists, M/F as determined by chromosomes. This is science and we know this. The only time I can stray from that is genetic abnormalities such as people born XXY chromosomes or people born with both gender reproductive organs, etc.

Most democrats don't think or agree that there are 40 genders or whatever. You're just seeing the most vocal and loudest people. Nobody goes on TV shouting that there are only 2 genders... because it's obvious - it doesn't need to be said once you pass 8th grade biology.

I posted in another thread this morning, my sister in law voted for Trump yesterday. She hates Trump, but not as strong as her hatred for Harris.

I wouldve thrown Jo a vote but I just cannot get behind some of the Libertarian platform planks at all (most having to do with foreign policy).

Most Democrats have no idea how insane their party has become, you included apparently.

The people in charge claim that whether you are a man or a woman has nothing to do with biology and is solely determined by what you want to be.

They can't even decide what they mean by "man" or "woman".

Don't believe me ?

What answer do you think Biden or Kamala would give to the question "what makes someone a man/woman". Or "how many genders are there" ?

The focus of the democratic party today is to disarm America. .. Disarmed we can be controlled better
