Won't make much of a difference though. Not enough to warrant burning your own cities down because you disagree with the other side, that's the point I was trying to make. I feel sorry for people who are putting so much hope and joy into Biden's victory...I think they will be underwhelmed by the end of his administration.


By voting in Biden, they have chosen the 'same'. I'll eat my own shoes if you can walk the streets of LA and SF in 4 years time and not have to dodge human shit and used syringes in the gutter. Antifa and Proud Boys will still be fighting and destroying property. Poor communities will still be poor and neglected in 4 years. Big tech and big pharma will still be lining politician's pockets.



I'm actually going against the lazy repetition of media stereotypes.

"Trump is a fascist", "Trump supporters are racist" gets likes and support on here. But as soon as someone has doubts over Biden's ability to reduce homelessness, bring money to poor communities etc they get targeted.




I think we can both agree that we want the USA to improve. I have my doubts but we'll see. I genuinely hope for the day where the voting public can agree and vote for a politician who genuinely cares for the people. With Trump and Biden as their choices, the US was always going to be fighting an uphill battle.
Its not what Biden will bring. Its that we wont have trump.
No Proud Boys
No treating women with disdain
no calling real news fake news
More efforts towards global wamring
A lot less division in society
so much more

Nothing todo with Biden
 
I read your post, replied to your points and you responded with nothing constructive...again. I think we’ll leave it at that. I’m happy to discuss again in 4 years and we’ll see if people are still ridin’ Bidens cock then...assuming anyone with a different opinion than that of the mainstream is still allowed to post.

Just LOL. Trump was a dog shit POTUS. The worst ever is probably where he will rank when all said and done.
 
I was being a bit flippant. It probably said congressmen which consists of 100 senators and 435 representatives from the two houses of congress. So it would be 150 out of 535 which sounds about right.
Thank you. Served me right for wading into a thread on a subject where I have an interest but very little actual knowledge!

That is a bit childish , anyone who has followed trump knows he is a corrupt , probably has dementia and is a loose cannon , corrupt , up to his eyes in lawsuits , racist , sexist , disabled and sick ist , everything that ends with ist

Anyone who thinks biden is the same and will do the same is just as mental as trump

Trump is attempting to subvert democracy in plain sight, but you have doubts about Biden's ability to reduce homelessness and bring money to poor communities?

You know Trump genuinely doesn't give a f*ck about those people, right?

The only thing these communities have left in many cases is the right to vote, and the Republican law makers up and down the country tried to make it more difficult for them to do so, and Trump wanted to tear the whole f*cking institution down.
 
Ah is it , brilliant , cnn havent called it yet , i will need serious therapy to stop me staying up half the night watching it , i am going to record chris from now on
CNN won’t call anything as they’re so bloody scared of the Fake News tag. They’re ultra cautious. The decision desk HQ called it about 6 hours ago.

Thanks lovely

What will the republicans do going foward do you think ? Could they splinter off, those who backed trump and those who want to retain some sanity

Mind you they all didnt have him removed when he was impeached
 
I’m looking forward to DC and PR becoming states, the end of the filibuster and increasing the SC to 11 or 15.
Wow, is that all in Biden's agenda? Great! I think moving supreme court picks from the hands of the president would be useful, but I'm not au fait with that nuance of the US judiciary - it seems odd that it's done by the executive

Trump is a simpleton fascist that wants to end democracy and be installed as dictator so he can continue to embezzle, blackmail, and bribe (and be blackmailed and bribed) on a global scale, whilst avoiding the consequences of his decades of (sometimes truly horrific) criminality. He doesn’t want election and inauguration, he wants continual coronation and deification. He doesn’t care about anything or anyone beyond what it or they can do to serve his interests and whims (emphasis on the latter). Any role is a means to power and domination over his enemies, which is nearly everyone in the world in his addled little mind (including his family at times). All he knows is the mafia life; and once more he is laughably bad at it. He’s an incompetent man child that has been saved time-and-time-again by luck and the interventions of various actors that saw him as a useful idiot (at least for a time). He is Castro with a come over (and even less intelligence).

Biden, while by no means perfect, has surrounded himself with a diverse team of people that by-and-large want to reform government to make it more democratic, representative, and equitable. They want to make substantive improvements to help lift up the disadvantaged and disenfranchised (both black and white, whether they support the Biden-Harris admin or not). They want to effectively respond to and fully mitigate the pandemic, saving lives and stabilising the economy. They want to enact aggressive climate change response policy to save millions more. They want to strengthen environmental protections (which the outgoing regime have mostly destroyed). They want to combat worsening wealth inequality and labour exploitation. They want to improve education at every level and make it accessible to anyone seeking it. They want to keep the US out of wars (and reduce the justifiable hatred many other countries feel toward the US due to past atrocities). Will they be successful in doing all of this? Probably not. But they *want* to do it.

Anyone that does not “understand” the inherent differences between Trump and Biden — that one wants the world to burn if he can’t have it and the other wants to put out the fires already burning if he can — is either woefully incompetent, wilfully ignorant, or wildly dishonest (with themselves and/or others).

Again, Biden is not perfect. But, as one of our great (but also flawed) leaders once said: “perfection is the enemy of progress”.

He gives the US a chance at progressing to a better state. The opposite is true of Trump. And waiting for the “perfect” candidate to come along — especially given you could ask a million people “who would be the perfect candidate” and you would get a million different answers — is a recipe for catastrophe at this juncture in history.

This was the best that could be done right now. And his admin will hopefully lay a foundation for more substantive, positive change in 4 years.

Onward and upward (as opposed to crash and burn).

I like the idea of PR as a state but not DC (though they should have representation), would be happy to see the backside of the filibuster, and disagree with court expansion to 15 but would be okay with 11. I’m also okay if none or all of this happens, as long as the cult of Trumpism is destroyed somehow.
