So JAN84 I take it you are a democrat for sure. To each their own. I never had much love for Trump until the end and I still never liked how he communicated, but I have to know.
Do you actually think this feeble old racist tool we have in office now will do any good at all? So far all he has done is kill a bunch of good pipeline jobs and over turn the deal with the cheap diabetes meds. There are several HUGE employers in my area that will shut down and lay off because they had great big contracts for manufacturing keystone pipeline things. There are no other jobs here for those guys.
What is good about Biden? Kamala is a straight up communist raised by communists. If something happens to Joe we will have Kamala and if I am right Pelosi, who nobody on either side of the aisle likes as far as I can tell. What good can come of this and how was the country worse off in your view under Trump?
As promised, I am trying to give you a sincere answer.
No, I don't consider myself a democrat and I am not registered with any party. I do however vote for the democratic party, in part to vote against the Trump republicans, in part since the democrats are more aligned with my point of view. What I would want is a socially liberal and fiscally conservative party, but that does not exist.
I do not know if Biden will do good for all. The man has been in office for less than a month, so maybe it is a little too early to judge, don't you think? And why are you calling him a racist? Did you object to the countless deeply racist overtones of Trump, where many concrete examples can be listed, from Louisville to the capitol storming, from his KKK support to his remarks about Mexico, from him calling blacks inherently lazy to him lumping in all asians together? Can you list concrete examples for Biden over his years?
The pipelines-yes, this is problematic. But if you don't recognize that fossil fuels are on the way out, you can't be helped. Just look at Trump's promises about all the coal jobs, none of which materialized. That age is just over. Just because we all like trucks with tractor motors we should not live in the illusion that this will go on. I hope he will come up with alternative jobs-there is huge potential in alternative energy and environmental protection. One can always hope.
What is good about Biden? That he brings decency and honesty back to the white house, and that he brings respect back to the US.
The constant lies about absolutely everything, more than 20,000 over 4 years, from his first second in office (the inauguration crowd and the weather) to his last second (the lost election), just lies, lies, lies. Unnecessary lies, stupid lies, offensive lies, constant lies. Coupled with deep nepotism and profiteering, Trump has made the US the laughing stock of the world. no one trusted him or his word (rightfully so), no one took him seriously (rightfully so).
This will get better under Biden. Biden was not my first choice as candidate, but I take him, since it was clear that he could win. He is old fashioned, but he is respected. And he is a decent person, pretty much everyone who is half way moderate agrees on that.
Further, Biden trusts in science. The complete fuckup of the pandemic, from lying about the seriousness to making masks political has put the US dead worst in the pandemic situation in the world. That was avoidable, and Biden will bring the importance of science back.
You are correct, few people like Pelosi. But she was effective in exposing Trump as the petty little liar and whiny loser that he has always been. Now it is time for her to go.
Labeling Harris as communist really takes away from the horror that communism is. You use it as a label. but can you actually name a few policies that she promoted that are truly communist? I bet you can not, since they don't exist. Communism, as it was practiced in Eastern Germany or the USSR pre-Gorbachov is so far from any policy that is practiced by anyone in the US. So don't use it as a meaningless label, but attack real policies.
So you ask how was the country worse off under Trump? First, we are only 2 weeks into the Biden administration, so this is not a valid comparison.
but given the lies, the nepotism, the lack of decency, the incompetence, the racism, the rise of white supremacists, the economic mess we are in, the totally bungled pandemic response, i ask you: How can we be worse off under Biden?
