Sorry that I gave you the respect of replying with something other than a couple of sentences of broad platitudes that address no points that you raise, or a stupid gif. I'll know better next time - I'll just call you a fuckwit or a troll instead. ?
@John Lee Pettimore : <chants it over again like it's true>that's still an ad hominem, albeit back-handed.
you're confusing someone who was brought up not caring what the plebes think with someone who was. FWIW - Bill Clinton was "far and away" the most personally corrupt president in our lifetimes. When you sell ICBM technology to the Chinese, you're Evil. Don't get me started on Bill Clinton and crack cocaine. They're only different in how up front they are with their self-interest serving decisions. Trump was born in to the elite privilege, he understands that no matter how much he fucks the common man he'll still be part of The Club. It's that simple. But let's be honest, what's more corrupt - putting your SIL in charge of a back-channel communication for graft, or packing the SCOTUS to give you carte' blanche to consolidate power? And we're talking about relative difference - both are/were going to tear up Sec 270, that's a kind of corruption that REALLY matters. So relative to the objective standard of how they advance the cause of the voter over their own interest, their corruption is same-same.
"the interests of the voters" knowable and expressed through a representative system where each vote counts equally. But Jeff Bezos is getting $10B contracts to run the DoD computers, so his vote counts a lot more than mine. And both Trump and Biden will back-bend to blow Bezos. I'll reiterate again that nothing was going to happen at the Capital, it was an much an assault on democracy as egging an M1A1 Abrams. What will destroy democracy is creating 2nd class citizens, elevating the police and state actors, lowering bureaucratic accountability, etc. Both guys do that equally hard, because their interests are aligned with the wealthy/political class - not with the voter.
My complaint is that the system is self-sustaining, and people who pretend that there's a meaningful difference (relative to the interests of the voter) are the root of the issue. They are the true "useful idiots" who parade around like their accomplishing something by switching the face on the old corrupt white guy who rambles incoherently into a microphone to sycophantic applause.
that's not a thought experiment, neither is electable in modern politics. Neither would be a R or D, and neither would have a chance of being on the debate stage past the 2nd debate.
"platitudes" must be on his word-of-the-day calendar.
you still struggle to demonstrate a way in which Trump was worse than Biden, and you're doing some irrespective of the fact that Biden has been in office 6 months. Give the man time.

so yeah, not much changes.
I'm actually going to reply to your post and address what you said, because this is a discussion board and trading stupid gifs instead of having a discussion is bullshit. There's no good reason at all why we can't actually address what the other said, is there.i'm not a player. i just crush a lot.
relax - there's always time to trade stupid gifs AND have a thoughtful discussion.
yeah - I'm in a meeting for an hour and then I have to track down my patent attorney, with a sick kid at home.
how many times do i have to tell you that the Fleshlight for small wee-wee's is already patented
You're being mean again.
according to "opensecrets.org," joe biden recieved the second most money from "oil and gas" during the 2019/2020 cycle
So with a divided Congress, international interests, economic concerns,etc
It's ridiculous, isn't it. Does EVERY SINGLE stupid meme have to be full of lies? Not like there's nothing to criticise Biden and the Dems for that's actually reality-based, is it. But every time, they go for the stupid lies.
he should start by giving back his donations to the oil industry and calling on all his fellow democrats to do the same
How about championing the green new deal? Using executive orders to curtail oil and gas production. Creating meaningful international treaties that have real pledges. There are any number of things he could be doing, but he's making vague twitter posts instead.
the best part about nina turner getting into congress wouldve been her calling out her colleagues for their corporate bribes. no one else does that
LMAO
??
He literally has no fucking clue what's going on.
@Zeph u gonna take that?!?
Man.
