Guess I'm not voting for president then. Will vote blue for everything else but I'm not voting a rapist into office.
the dozen plus times accused rapist in the white house thanks you.
Guess I'm not voting for president then. Will vote blue for everything else but I'm not voting a rapist into office.
I've posted this before, but it bears repeating:
2020 is SO much bigger than Biden
A 2020 Trump Presidency would mean:
- A conservative judiciary the rest of your life. A likely 7-2 SCOTUS, and another massive chunk
- of lifetime federal judge appointments.
This means unfavorable rulings for: climate change, abortion, gerrymandering, executive power, executive oversight, Congressional authority, civil rights, immigration issues (children in cages), and so, so much more. You can basically say goodbye to this for decades to come with a Trump Presidency. Everything Bernie, Warren, Democrats, and progressives ever stood for is going to take a sledgehammer with a Trump Presidency.
- It would mean the continuing takeover of an authoritarian rule. Trump has argued he is immune from indictments, from oversight, from the courts, and he has a DOJ and Republican Senate to help him solidify his role as America's King.
- It would mean further emboldening of a worrying white nationalist, conspiratorial presence in America. Racism, sexism, xenophobia, wild conspiracies, and more would be given a green light.
- The continued isolation of America on the world stage. Every country on the planet besides NK, Saudi Arabia, and Russia does. not. trust. us. anymore. We are a mockery on the world stage in everything we do.
- The most corrupt cabinet in history. William Barr, Betsy DeVos, Mnuchin, Wheeler, Pence. It's like a super team of unqualified, horrendous people with enormous conflicts of interest. Every position is basically hired to deconstruct the agency they work for. The intelligence community is being flat-out purged for loyalists.
- A continuing WAR against climate change efforts and science. Undoubtedly the biggest issue humanity, including our children, grandchildren, and beyond will face.
No matter what your criticisms of Biden are,
Let's remember who Trump is:
-Trump defrauded the government of $400 million dollars.
-Trump ran a fraudulent charity (one that supported veterans and children with cancer) and university.
-Trump cheated on his third wife with a porn star and illegally paid her to keep quiet before an election.
-Trump committed at least 5 felony instances of Obstruction of Justice., including trying to get Mueller (the man investigating him) fired... twice.
-Trump was impeached for Obstruction of Congress and Abuse of Power.
-Trump killed a top general of a hostile nation that posed no imminent threat.
-Trump has over twenty sexual misconduct/assault allegations.
-Trump tried to lie about a hurricane by extending a forecast with a fucking sharpie on a map because he couldn't admit he made a mistake on twitter.
-Trump doesn't believe in climate change.
-Trump thinks windmills cause cancer and raking prevents forest fires.
-Trump is a stable genius - The "nuclear" quote - Another classic
-Trump's only "political experience" prior to becoming President was fueling a racist conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya.
-Trump told a group of minority Congresswomen (3 of which born in America) to "go back" to the countries they came from.
-Trump got on the stage at Helsinki to tell the world he trusts Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence agencies.
At the end of the day, we have a choice to make in November as reasonable adults and Americans.
Feels 2016 all over again.
All i'm going to say is i hope they chose wisely...Good. Now we can all focus on uniting behind Biden to defeat Trump.
DNC didn't offer Biden. Or pick him. The voters did.

Yeah, how dare they not intentionally handicap themselves just so Bernie could win in a election where the odds are in his favor. He's not gonna have that luxury in the general election so if he couldn't even win a primary he would have a snowball's chance in hell at winning a general election. I definitely support Bernie but it doesn't make sense to complain about the DNC not cutting itself at the knees to let an outsider be the nominee. Bloomberg still was in ST and bernie still got destroyed.No but when all the other candidates dropped out at same time and endorsed Biden that was kinda convenient for Biden. If they would've stayed in just until after Super Tuesday we would be having sanders as the leader right now. This is why people are irate.
like it's always been and always will be.
The court if WI overruled the governor's request to delay in person election putting the entire states population at risk of exposure. All in the name of potentially murdering Democrats and suppressing the vote.

You can either vote to keep kids in cages or you vote to fund a functional government - those are your two choices. Staying at home keeps kids in cages.
I actually think he perfers this, unfortunately. He knows Bernie would bring people out to vote in droves and drive Obama-era excitement among the left
Alright, now everyone unite to vote for the senile sexual offender so we can kick out the other senile sexual offender and finally return to decency!
Not a fan of this type of this take because it forgets that:
I'm aware of that. But still, I don't think we have to pretend like Biden is an acceptable candidate and not a piece of human garbage.You can either vote to keep kids in cages or you vote to fund a functional government - those are your two choices. Staying at home keeps kids in cages.
You mean that thing they're doing right now in Wisconsin? Because that's what the recent court rulings over mail-in ballots essentially does given the current pandemic.Biden will win unless Republicans manage to weaponize coronavirus as voter supression.
Nominating someone who could barely crack 30% in the primary seems like a terrible general election candidate.No but when all the other candidates dropped out at same time and endorsed Biden that was kinda convenient for Biden. If they would've stayed in just until after Super Tuesday we would be having sanders as the leader right now. This is why people are irate.
This is great, it should be in the OP for our general election thread.
