Yes, I would vote for him if I were convinced his veep pick were not a Regressive Lefty.But you said the other day you would vote for him.I doubt it. It's clear to me that he is in cognitive decline.I can only be honest with you in my judgement and assessment. Let's see if you can do the same.I see the good and the not-so-good, whether it's Trump or Obama or any other President or politician.What you choose to see is up to you.What you see as counter-productive...I see as necessary. Panic was the number one enemy early on. We saw the beginnings of it early on. On day one back in late February, the wife and I were already stocking up, I told her "The virus doesn't scare me Babe...I have a 95% chance of surviving it, and those are great odds. It's the panic we have to worry about.".The WHOLE truth is the WHOLE truth.The truth is the truth.
You are making a conscious decision: You are CHOOSING to only "see" the positive actions Trump is taking, and CHOOSING to only "see" any good outcomes from those actions.
You are also CHOOSING to ignore, avoid, dismiss and downplay the things he has said and done that have been negative or counter-productive in some way.
That's your choice. I can see both ends of it, loud and clear, and I wish you could too.
I know that's how the partisan game is played, and I hate to see such intellectual honesty at any time, but especially at this moment. And I don't have to participate.
Trump navigated the initial days of the outbreak masterfully...and there was very little mass panic. The outbreak itself could only ever be mitigated...it couldn't be stopped. I know the truth was out there, because I had my wife and my parents completely quarantined before the virus spread. Neither household has left their respective yards since before my Dad's birthday...and that was March 9th...I know because he likes to go to Golden Corral but my Mother made him Shepards Pie instead.
I'm still working. I haven't been inside my house or kissed my wife, or been within six feet of her in a month...so I know the truth must have been out there, because I think I would remembered a burning bush scenario.
That cuts both ways. What you choose to see is up to you as we'll.
One of the guys I watch on YouTube says we are watching the same screen but seeing two different movies.
So far, I see zero indication that you can do the same. All I see is you obediently defending pretty much everything Trump has done.
Is Joe Biden currently capable of handling this crisis?
Anything else?
See, I get to be honest at all times. I'm not bound to an ideology.
Does that sound logical or unbiased?
Yes, it is logical, because the alternative is even more repugnant to me.
I am not unbiased. I'm honest.
We're very different. I'm fine with that.
Yes, we are.
If you know you are biased...why pretend to be unbiased?
If you are biased, how do you know you see both sides?
