I could shoot someone in the middle of the street and they would still vote for me


Rings true on the other side as well I guess

It does. Biden could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and only way my vote would change is if the independent became the front runner.

Sorry not sorry. The public standard to get a criminal conviction for anyone that isn't the president was met a long time ago. He has used his office to shield himself from his criminal behavior. If he wins again the statute of limitations comes into play.

The scary thing to me is that more and more liberals don't like Biden or his equivalent type in the democratic party because they aren't far left, progressive, socialist, etc. enough. This country is at a major crossroads that extends well beyond just who wins in November in the road this country is going down. Scary.

Executive orders are absolute bullshit to me in 99% of cases. Let's just keep that same passion when Democrats do them. It's like a video game cheat code. Both sides are fucking immature. I think since Bush 2 through now it's got to the point where all Americans should be absolutely fucking embarrassed.

Give Mooby and me a weekend with unlimited beer, and hard alcohol of his choice, and I think we could hammer something out in 48 hours.

Congress on both sides are petulant children. If I don't get my way 100% I'll throw a temper tantrum.

Beer for me nowadays, too many times I made an ass out of myself getting sloppy drunk as a teenager and in my 20's, now I just get a sixer of Heineken and settle into a nice buzz so I don't have to wait all night to be sober enough to drive home.

I just don't understand why both sides are unwilling to make enough concessions to hammer out a deal. They both look incompetent in times like these when American lives are at stake.

Just beer works for me. Didn't know your preference.

In terms of what I put in bold, its only getting worse, with no end in sight. And Trump clearly isn't helping, but this started before him.

Specifically to 2020, he is definitely part of the problem, but Congress is at least as bad to me. A bunch of assholes.

We need term limits. I'd agree to damn near anything someone on the left offered if that could become a thing.

DC isn't about doing what's best for all of us, it's about doing what's best for them to get re-elected.

This.

+1 on term limits too. I also think they need to put strict rules on taking any job in any industry you passed legislation on post-Congress career and they need to ban owning stocks. Seems like there's a lot of areas nowadays where they used to go by the honor code on and since nobody follows the honor code anymore the legislation isn't there to keep people from using their position in Congress to enrich themselves.

There isn't 1 word or punctuation mark I disagree with here. This is a huge problem. Vote for things to benefit X company, then outside of office get directly hired by X company or get backwater benefits. Absolutely sickening and disgusting. Get a real fucking job like the people you "represent" have to have to put food on the table.

Kamala Harris? Really?

I understand it, but I don't like it. I understand it in the sense he committed to having a female minority as his VP which limited his options, and Harris made sense because she was the "big" name in a field of candidates where nobody really stood out that much, buuuut...

I don't like it because Harris seems like one of the political types just playing the game. At the debates, she went hard after Biden, but now it's all love today. When she was SF's prosecutor, she was never about legalizing weed or using her unique experience as a female minority to "stand up for the little man" as the articles today put it. But in the debates that's what she was pretending to be. Why can't she just be honest and acknowledge that times have changed and so has her priorities? I really don't believe her or Biden are in it for the little guy, if elected they will just focus on reversing the damage Trump has done (which I'm fine with) and restoring the economy. But I want an administration focused on wealth inequality and getting rid of the loopholes that allow the top 1% to pay less taxes than the rest of us. Let's go back to the 1950's, when the marginal tax rate was 90% and America prospered on the backs of the post-war economy and the top 1% paying their share.

Biden and Harris. Yuck. That's all I'll say.

Watch your back if you win Biden!!

[Chico23231]

I think this is the safe choice

[sdskinsfan2001]

Hillary "Worst Candidate Ever" Clinton in 2016 and Joe Basement/Kamala "I'll Do Anything for Power" Harris in 2020.

Maybe they really all are on the same team. This ticket is pathetic.
