Infinitely better than Trump though.  

With the exception of less than a handful issues ( which Trump talks about but doesn't actually do anything) establishment Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin.

If people are expecting real change with Biden prepare to be bitterly disappointed.  The notion of "if we could just beat Trump" ain't it's all cracked up to be.

Agree that Biden won't move the needle.   But getting rid of Trump is addition by subtraction.

Bottom line.  Biden simply gives the Dems a better chance of holding the House and taking the Senate.

The disappointment expressed today, from Trump and Republicans all down the line, about Super Tuesday results.....pretty well tells you..... all you need to know.....

The idea of a long campaign with Biden's mental health state is a welcome prospect to them, Biden will motivate Dems and Dems only. To win Biden has to get undecideds . Jury is waaaay out on that. Loony left talk won't do that.

You expect a lot of loony left talk from Biden? What about Donald's mental state?
Suspect that Dems will be quite motivated (getting rid of Trump) as well as the possibility of firing up the ole Obama coalition, (which Hillary put paid to) and most importantly the rapidly changing (demographics) suburbia ares.

Of course time will tell.....

Ill settle for a President who isnt a serial sexual abuser, moron, and racist.  Your standards are a lot lower as is the norm with the bulk of his supporters who share much of those moral shortcomings.  A tree stump would be better than Trump.  Its not even a debate.

    Possibly the best thing to happen is Trump wanting a debate on health & wellness of the candidates.  The guy who stole medical records, had a fake doctor's assessment, bribed his other doctor to lie about his health, has had several unexplained trips to Walter Reed, continues to slur his words, forget whats he's talking about and have a big issue with facts.   I mean really, it would be like if Bill Clinton accused his opponent of being a womanizer.

    An explanation for when he said he would ban all fracking and gut other fossil fuel industries is bound to come up.

    He either has to reverse himself and alienate part of the progressive base and lose some progressive cred  or sacrifice the votes of people who work in those industries which happen to be swing states.

    Ditto on guns.

    The next time those three run for President, Ill take it under advisement.  You seem to support that conduct right now.  Why is it okay with you?  Do you share those beliefs?

    Or you can just read up. The relationship of private conduct and effective leadership is rarely clear cut. All three of those degenerates had, to varying degrees, successful presidencies.

    Ignorance and small mindedness. The hallmarks of trump supporters. 

    Terrified of the world moving forward.

    yup. it's typical GOPness, stoking up fear of a harmless minority to juice the base.

    In the 2000s it was "OMG the homosexuals are going to make gay marriage mandatory!"  That was the way GWB got reelected, many states had "Defense of Marriage" stuff on the ballot to energize the phobe vote. They're running the exact same playbook today but it's the icky ***** trans nonbinary millennials that are the big problem.

    Defense of Marriage Act was also at the federal level. People with names like Clinton, Biden signed off on it.

    When society is constantly re engineered to accommodate the latest identity politics fad, no matter how potentially damaging or ill conceived it ceases to be a personal , private opinion since as members of a society we all have a stake in what happens next.

    Please explain how it is potentially damaging to recognize that gender isn't as black and white as boy or girl.

    What harm comes from it?

    I understand the Democrats were also the pro-slavery party up until about 1960.

    ps. stop dodging the questions about illegal votes. do you believe that still?  if not, what changed your mind?

    Because so much it is a mental state and not "science".   A person can decide later it was a mistake but he is either chemically castrated , biomchemsitry altered or permanently disfigured by surgery. 

    Puberty blockers on children and pre teens is criminal , imo, and in general the epitome of "anti-science".

    We should probably also outlaw vasectomies then.  Why do we allow someone to cripple their body's regular function just because they have a mental state that says they don't want to father children?

    Vasectomies are difficult to reverse and plenty of people regret them.  Google "vasectomy reversal" ... seems like there's money in untying those little tubes.

    (Love that the vasectomy doc in Winnipeg is a big radio sponsor of the Bombers.  Dudes need to take ownership of family planning, don't just leave it to women.)
