He's a lousy candidate, to be sure. And the Democratic party is one flaming shit show right now. Stipulated.And I don't disagree with you on those being the issues that the Democrats have historically run on...I'm simply pointing out that Joe Biden's record on virtually ALL of those things despite being in Washington since before Watergate borders on the inept!You asked, I answered. It looks like you disagree on the issues, which was my original point.So you've trotted out the usual list of Democratic running points, Mac and that's all well and good but then the question becomes...what has Joe Biden done for ANY of those things in all the DECADES he's been in Washington? Do you really want to run on Biden's record? Quite frankly...that's a loser.No, I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, just assuming that you have exposed yourself to ideas and opinions that are different from yours and already know the answers to your question.The Democrats' positions aren't all that difficult to find if you just look it up.What Biden "stance" on issues is it that you think is going to sway voters, Mac? I'm honestly curious as to what you think that might be! He's been remarkable only in that he hasn't TAKEN any stands other than some tired old Democratic clichés! Joe Biden is the ultimate "vanilla" candidate at a time when the Democratic Party has veered HARD to the left! How did you on the left choose HIM as your guy at this time in this country's history? It still amazes me.Some will vote for him because they prefer his and the Democrats' stands on the issues.Republican politicians and politicos with access to good polling data may be worried, who knows.
But the rank & file talk radio Trumpsters are being told Trump will win easily, so they seem pretty confident.
Trump SHOULD win easily if it were simply a contest between Joe Biden and himself, Mac but it's not! What Trump is really running against is the Main Stream Media and it's nonstop propaganda. I mean let's look at this through an unfiltered lens! Joe Biden is an awful candidate. He's the ultimate Washington insider at a time when the public hates Washington! He was never that intelligent to begin with...something that's always derailed his many attempts to run for President in the past when he invariably says something SO stupid he gets laughed out of the race and he continues to make gaffe after gaffe now despite being hidden away by his handlers!
Trump on the other hand had a stellar record with the economy before the Corona Virus hit and is rather obviously better qualified to lead us out of the economic downturn it's caused. Biden has the "distinction" of playing second fiddle in the Administration that gave us the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression! Why would anyone select HIM at this point in history?
Some will vote for him because they feel that Trumpism is an ugly moment in this country's history.
Different people have different perspectives, life experiences and priorities.
Different people have different perspectives, life experiences and priorities.
What amazes me is that people can follow Trump. See? We're just different.
I ask again, Mac...what stance of Biden's is it that drives his campaign? Be honest...you're struggling to name it...aren't you?
Looks like I was wrong. Okay.
Those who would vote for Biden, aside from the fact that they think Trumpism is an ugly stain on this country, might disagree with Trump and the GOP on any or all of the following issues:
Off the top of my head. I really would think this was all common knowledge.
- The safety net for less fortunate Americans
- Immigration law and approach
- Income taxes on wealthier Americans
- Corporate income taxes and regulations
- Financial industry regulations
- Health Care
- Federal spending priorities
- Civil Rights
- Abortion Rights
- Gay Rights
- The Environment and Climate Change
- America's standing in the world
- Defense and Security
Why did I then have to go through the exercise of listing the obvious for you?
