lol, another right-wing talking point. Do you even know what a communist is? I doubt it, because if you did, you wouldn't make another foolish comment like this.
Biden won the nomination because he received the most support and votes from Democrats. And yes, those Democrats thought Biden had the best shot at defeating Trump.
I disagree with the assertion that neither Sanders or Warren could have beat Trump though They both could have. Sanders would have probably beaten Trump in '16 as well. Moderates and traditional liberals in the Democratic Party thought Clinton had the better shot, which I disagreed with. See, I don't think the Democratic Party is always perfect.
Biden is not always progressive enough for my liking. I also didn't like (and still don't like) some of the decisions Biden made throughout his long political career. Again, more examples of how I don't think Democrats or Biden are always perfect.
I'd take a Biden any day though over someone like Trump.
Again, you assume too much.
I have disagreements with the "woke" crowd. For example, I've never been a fan of the saying "Defund the police." I think it is a horrible political slogan and does not accurately reflect what progressives and other Democrats wish to accomplish with local community funding.
Very close-minded statement by you.
I could say the same for many of you right-wingers on this board. But I don't.
So, who on here besides a leftist has changed your mind on anything? Particularly to vote across the aisle? You are so far extreme left (which I am not), there is very little we are ever going to agree on. That has nothing to do with emotions, just a fact. I have voted both Dem and Rep in my life, have you? Been a long time since I voted Dem. The party left me, no pun intended.
Why waste your time on something that results in no change? And what if somehow by the miracle of god I changed one vote on this board, it accomplishes nothing in the big picture.
Anyone that wants to go from voting Dem to Rep, or vice versa, has to be solidly moderate and open minded. Unfortunately most moderates are sucked in to voting straight party ticket. This last election we had suburban white housewives that liked Trump's policies but hated his tweets and did not vote for him again, that was the swing vote according to most analysts. As a result, look at how bad things are now, over mean tweets. But we do have that possibility of cross over.
So the best conversations to be had IMO, is with solid true moderate voters on solutions to get them to vote for the change you believe is best. Or, with like minded people to come up with the best platform and policies to get a person elected that most represents your views.
If somehow we could fire every single person in an elected office in Washington DC, and have elected officials split 50/50 equal in moderate right and left leanings, that would result in the best compromise of laws and policies for society. Not everyone might be perfectly happy, but we would find far more sensible middle ground. I wish we could make that happen, but true moderates have no voice and MSM the Tech companies don't care for them either.
So, it is reduced to extreme partisan politics, it feels like political war if you ask me.
Real good political debate is dead because we are a divided country, until we all admit it and the politicians and MSM/Tech stop dividing us it is going to continue.
I take zero offense that I know there is nothing I can say on anything to get you to change your opinion on anything. Is what it is.
So, this board is reduced to sharing opinions with like minded people to vette out certain facts and opinions as you see them, or having fun mocking the idiocy of the opposing side. No longer about compromise and finding sensible middle ground. The teaching of K-3 law on sexuality and gender is a prime example, people mock that law and look at the law in Washington state allowing 13 year olds to do the surgery, etc... without parental consent. And people do not understand the concern real parents have of what and how their children are being taught? Crazy is what it is.
Trump voters on this Board have discussed and admitted to his failings as an individual a lot, and the Dims on this Board do not do so with Biden. The closest we have seen and that is coming from you, is that 3 people stood in line of front of him in your pecking order, but you still voted for him, and yet you are still unable to admit the man is unfortunately mentally diminished dues to his illness. Which is fine. I don't care if you can't see your blind spot. it is both sad and comical at the same time.
