    Sure, it’s okay to be critical of Biden. It’s also okay to say certain criticisms are ridiculous when looked at in the bigger picture, i.e. the only other likely option of getting elected being three years younger than him and sounding far, far more demented.

    I’m guessing you missed yesterday where Trump said that if he loses they would rename Pennsylvania and if he wins, he would get Russia to attack our allies.

      It isn’t ridiculous. I don’t like the idea of an octogenarian making decisions for me. There isn’t a single 80 year old human being that’s isn’t in decline both mentally and physically. I’ve been concerned about his mental faculties before the news hammering in on it.

      I don’t need to know what Trump says or does in regards to his sham of a reelection campaign. He’s also in decline, but on top of that he’s a fucking sociopath.

        Well, the only two candidates that have a chance of winning barring special circumstances are Trump and Biden, so you either vote for one of them, vote pointlessly for someone who you know won’t win, or don’t vote. Take your pick. In my opinion, if you take the second option, you should save your time and energy and just take the third. The second option has no effect whatsoever when it comes to changing things. Not even when Ross Perot got almost 20% of the vote.

          Exactly. This is why I’m so pissed because I’m forced to pick between 2 bad choices and depending on what state I live in my vote may not have the same value as another state’s vote… And yet we go about our lives everyday complaining about how shitty it is and never doing anything about it. I don’t know how people function with things being this way.
