True, but Trump and Biden are poor choices for different reasons.
What reasons? You've given none that are valid.
True, but Trump and Biden are poor choices for different reasons.
A falsehood?After reading threw all of Wegs posts, this is the only thing I could find that looks like the reason Wegs does not want to vote for Biden. Considering this is a falsehood...
It would be quite easy to say that's a falsehood.What reasons? You've given none that are valid.
They are valid for her.WYou've given none that are valid.
I dislike both Trump and Biden, neither is any better than the other. I feel that the Presidency has become little more than a figurehead position, and it doesn't really matter who wins. Congress seems to control everything, anyway.
Having wrestled with it a bit, I'm settled about this decision, now.
Biden is a closet republican and racist, so he and Trump seem cut from the same cloth. Are you going to vote? If you don't like either candidate, why are you voting?
they are in no way shape or form alike. i thought biden was one of the third worst person running in the dem primary( fuck you bloomberg and gabbard) but to try and paint him and donald trump as being even remotely alike requires a level of dishonesty that is awe inspiring in its sheer brazen refusal to deal with facts. im not a fan of biden but im voting for him simply because i don't want to lose the republic. saying biden is the same as trump is excusing the republican descent into fascism and gives it cover.Wegs please reconsider and vote for other offices. You can leave the potus blank.
I do understand your quandary. They are so alike; either way we get a gropper who likes to exaggerate their accomplishments.
A falsehood?
wegs is stating her opinion - what she thinks of Biden. That's not really something that can be falsified.
Are you merely being argumentative?
What kind of a silly argument is that?She said Biden's a racist, should be pretty easy to find out if that's valid or not. Wasn't Biden the running mate for a black man and has now chosen a black female for his running mate? Tell us how that is racist?
What kind of a silly argument is that?
wegs: Dave is a violent person. I don't like him.
(Q): False. Dave's not violent. :wades through a sea of prone bodies: Look: here's two people he didn't punch out. Tell us how that is violent?
(I'm not implying Biden is a racist; I'm just dismantling your terrible logic.)
OK, I didn't figure I'd have to spell it out.If the logic is so terrible, show me this alleged "sea of prone bodies" Biden has collected?
True, but Trump and Biden are poor choices for different reasons. It will be a vote against Trump, more than it will be a vote for Biden, you know? Just wish there was someone whom I felt enthusiastic about, but I will vote because it’s the right thing to do.
heads or tails?@ candy - I posted this yesterday - I do plan to vote in this election.
OK, I didn't figure I'd have to spell it out.
'X didn't happen in two chosen examples out of a possible zillion' doesn't mean 'X is a falsehood'. It's terrible logic and, I presume, beneath you.
They differ in fundamental and serious ways. Their governments will function on very different principles. (Racial bigotry will continue to be an organizing principle of a Trump administration, for example, as it has been of all Republican governance since Nixon, while being a flaw or common side effect of a Biden administration)I do understand your quandary. They are so alike; either way we get a gropper who likes to exaggerate their accomplishments.
Exactly. Which is not at all the same as Biden being a racist is "a falsehood".... we're talking about one claim of racism that has yet to be substantiated.
It does indicate that the label is not obviously significant.Exactly. Which is not at all the same as Biden being a racist is "a falsehood".
There’s nothing inherently wrong with disliking Trump and Biden. If we’re honest, most will vote for Biden to keep Trump from winning. There’s no valid reason to perform mental gymnastics to convince ourselves that Biden is a a superior choice. He’s a slightly better choice but still not ideal.
If there’s any enthusiasm at all to cast my vote for Biden, it’s because of Kamala Harris.
There’s no perfect person and I’m wondering if ideal even exists. I like Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard. I’d be enthused to vote for either, but here we go again ...voting against instead of for. <<shrug>>
