Not saying I know who I'm going to vote for yet, but if it's Biden versus Trump.... I think Biden would be way worse. And Bernie Sanders is too radical for my liking. If anyone feels differently OR agrees with me, feel free to express your thoughts. Thanks
You can write in anyone you like.
My thought is, we will likely see 2 new scotus appointments in the next 4-5 years, barring something catastrophic. Both would replace justices on the more liberal side- Breyer and Ginsburg. I would be comfortable with almost anyone chosen by notTrump, compared to what he would do. I'm honestly concerned he would like to rewrite the constitution and would use the courts to do it.
Would you mind explaining to me why you think Biden woud be worse than Trump? TIA
...waiting for the same.. though not holding breath
@1of5 Look ^ ..now we’re ‘evil morons’ ..stupid fuckers. What I see are aging youth looking for a revolution ... cuz they’ve nothing to show for a lifetime of bad, make that stupid decisions. So - blow the place up ...then scurry for the crumbs. Fuck em. You know, I could survive another four years of trump pretty well - they couldn’t.
@Varn The Democrats are better at manipulation.
Yeah, that's why Trump was elected while losing the popular vote. Jezus.
They (and me to an extent, because I am an actual liberal) really aren't represented by either party, and it's frustration with that aspect as much as anything else, imo.
What disturbs me is the cultlike aspect of hardcore Bernie followers, who for some unfathomable reason think he'll snap his fingers and get his way. Trump had both chambers for 2 years and still wasn't able to even begin to keep his campaign promises - and Bernies promised way more than Trump ever did.
@1of5 Yes, and I’d say the Democratic Party … or herd of cats, is basically a conglomeration of the bulk of this nation. So, we’re either hostage to the majority of them, or led to the ovens by their evil alternative. Obviously, psychologically fragile.. the BB’s need someone to blame … so, as mentioned before ..blame the adults
Your second paragraph is ..so right on… Yes, again.. Bernie's an illusion, a Nader.. ..a pre-republican-hammered Obama, their only hope? They don’t like how things are, we get that! The difference is, we’re in touch with reality ..have long learned the limits of this fucked up nation, and though proficient at all-knowing hostility-soaked accusations ..they’re not. So, what? - Four more years
@Fred_Snerd why bother? I'm an evil moron, you see, and you wouldnt listen to me.
@Fred_Snerd If there was any substance to your insults..
@Fred_Snerd why yes, I'd love to participate in a post where you're going to throw about names, claim I'm things I'm not, and get nothing done.
Fine, let the pigshit fly.
Riddle me this ..Nika, as a supposed Agnostic or Atheist, the fact two ‘liberal’ Supreme Court Justices are near death.. which candidate do you feel is least likely to nominate two radical, religion pushing replacement judges … let alone continue to pack our Federal Courts with the same?
No, Bernie, or Bernard Sanders would be a foolish choice, but given the question above, would you still choose trump over former Vice President Biden..? If so, why?
There is really no possible way to get worse than Trump. He is scraping the bottom of the septic tank. I would vote for a used Kleenex stuck to the floor of a porno theater before I would vote for him. Bernie is my #1 pick, but there's no way that the democrats are going to pick him. Biden is not much better, but better nonetheless. He's just centrist enough that he might even be able to sway some of the moderate republicans who are just disgusted enough with little Lord Cheetodick to vote against him. My only hope for him is that he picks a halfway decent VP. That way if he wins and then he croaks we might have a decent president.
And a question, given, “...there's no way that the democrats are going to pick him” ..with regard to Bernard … why didn’t Bernard run within the opposing party? Seriously - if he’s that kinda wonderful.. and so ignored by those foolish Democrats - why didn’t he take on the big boys..?
You’re a woman, and you’d vote FOR trump? Especially after seeing the damage he has already done, I find that irresponsible. Women have struggled, marched, bled, and died for the rights we have; same with all the minority groups. Biden is not perfect, but in comparison to trump, no contest. No matter who ends up on the ticket, voting AGAINST trump is the only sane choice.
My opinion.
@VeronikaAnnJ Well child, I hope it’s NOT TRUMP.
I concur. Biden's apparent senility is only getting worse.
@VeronikaAnnJ Thank you for the compliment. I try to give everyone a fair chance to express their views and engage in debate, until I can no longer extend that courtesy. Over the years I've witnessed both political sides let their emotions run amok, and no one can think clearly when emotions take over. Not sure if I had mentioned this to you or not before, but from February 2019 to February of this year I had paused my account on here, got sick and tired of the emotionally charged responses my posts used to receive, and a nice break it was.
@VeronikaAnnJ Thank you, and the same, I can tell you're an intelligent person too, and intelligence along with a calm rational approach is rare on this site.
Oh, no shortage of creeps on here for sure, and I've received some odd messages too, besides the ones that were harassing in nature mostly due over some of the groups I host on here.
@VeronikaAnnJ Libertarian is the best word to describe my overall political views as well, I'm uneasy with both extremes. I host a Libertarian group on a site that is owned by the same Admin guy on here. For obvious reasons I don't want to mention that site on a public post, and Admin didn't really want the other site openly broadcasted on here for fear of attracting attention from the wrong crowd, but if you're interested I could tell you the site name via pm.
That's happened to me on here quite a few times already, posts being taken down over peculiar circumstances, and that usually means someone flagged the post. I've actually heard some posts that were deleted were done so due to some comments posted on them, especially if members were arguing and being nasty to one another.
@VeronikaAnnJ Speaking of which, just got a notification that you replied to one of my comments on a post that was deleted.
@VeronikaAnnJ I think it was one of your posts.
