This, and it's crazy that there are people who don't understand or care.Fail. Hard.
This election more than any other is about so much more than policy. And I refuse to endorse or support a guy who is a narcissist POS. It’s about what morals we want to represent us. What characteristics we want in a leader. And Trump doesn’t have a single one I want.
Why? Neither would be bad and neither would be an existential threat, like trump. If you actually recognize how awful trump is, it really doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate insofar that they produce the best candidate to beat Trump.
I’ll never understand people who either:
A. Normalize Trump. Pretending like voting for or against him is a realistic choice for reasonable human beings. As if this is a choice between Romney or Obama. It’s not. Trump is an off the charts criminal who everyday abuses the office.
Or
B. Over Exaggerate their disdain for Democrats by acting like Democrats are “just as bad” as Trump. As if is Biden is the left’s version of Trump. None of the democrats are close to trump when it comes to extremism, lack of character, and criminality. Also, None of the hold the support of their party and media like trump does. Can anyone honestly imagine the DNC being held hostage to Warren or Harris’s tweets the way the GOP is held to Trump’s?
I never agreed with many of the policies of Bush I, McCain, or Romney. But none of them were existential threats, like Trump. All of them were reasonable alternatives to their Democratic opponents. Even Bush II. I mean Bush II pushed the bounds of executive power and the constitution, don’t get me wrong, especially regarding torture and spying. His admin put the idea of a “Unitary Executive” into power in ways that Nixon could only dream of. But he wasn’t as extreme or flagrant, as Trump.
Harris and Biden are moderates. Let’s make that clear. They aren’t liberal Trumps. Their policies are well in line with the norms of 21st century presidential politics. Acting as if they’d fundamentally change America is absurd. So let’s stop these lame comparisons.
Besides, it’s not like this is about politics. It’s about the soul of America. I’d love for problems like climate change, gun violence, and universal health care to be addressed with the next presidency. But that’s not the goal. The goal is removing the cancer from the White House immediately. If that means that the next president won’t be able to do anything in their first term? So be it.
So yes, ALL and ANY of the Democratic candidates would be far better than Trump and it isn’t even close. This election isn’t just about policy.
Fail. Hard.

I think they are just so scared of that scary word "socialism".

Okay but the question was if it was between Biden, Harris, or Trump, who would you pick. And whether you like it or even want to accept it, I can very easily shredd both of those candidates for their views and misgivings and therefore don't think that they would be a step in the right direction.
To me it’s not about policy this election. It’s about character and trump is poison to what I want us to be. There are multiple policies on the Ds I oppose. I’d vote for any D that gets the nomination over Trump.
For once, character and morality completely trump policy for me. (Yes, it was intentional)
You say thats not a fair assumption and then say I don't want anything to do with the current crop of Democrats and their socialist agenda lol. You can't make this stuff up.That's not a fair assumption. But you are right on one point, I don't want anything to do with the current crop of Democrats and their socialist agenda.
I personally would entertain the idea of another business man type, regardless of political leanings if the policy proposals were good.
I can respect that even if I don't necessarily agree with your reasoning.
To me there’s just a point where you say “no more”. And for me we’ve past that point. Somewhere there has to be a line of what you’ll push back on. On what you’ll refute and fight against. Trump is beyond that for me. And this is the first presidential election that’s ever gotten there for me.
You say thats not a fair assumption and then say I don't want anything to do with the current crop of Democrats and their socialist agenda lol. You can't make this stuff up.
So my assumption was correct apparently.

My assumption that you don't understand or care was correct too.The assumption part was when you stated that "they don't understand or care".
I assumed you were speaking to what you consider Trump to be so that was what that initial response was to.
But yes, I don't want anything to do with any of the craziness that is the current leftist agenda with the Democrats. I make no bones about it.
My assumption that you don't understand or care was correct too.
If you did truly understand and care then you wouldn't vote for Trump.

Funny thing about US elections, is you can vote for whomever you want. Forcing the belief that you have to vote A in fear of B is a cultural impulse pushed by existing parties. It is not an imperative, and we should not act like it is.
That's a heavily biased statement. I am allowed to think for myself and have my own views on the political landscape thank you very much.
In so many words, sure. Now, you specifically haven't quite taken this leap of outright name calling that I have seen. However, if someone has an opposing view to the left or supports the president in any way here we are labeled, oh let's see, what I have been called: Racist, Bigot, Nazi, Anti-semitic, the list goes on. All of which are completely false.
That's a whole lot of ******** and highly unnecessary just because I and a few others have conservative views. It does not bring positive dialogue to the table and that's what we really should all want and promote.
So yes, in many ways here, we are in fact told, no you aren't allowed to think for yourself.
Lol
If that’s your choice or Trump? Who you taking?
