To be fair, this thread and the moron thread could be the same...

D voting state prefers Biden > Trump.

Duh.

Although, the more interesting news is that the majority of voters don't want either one of them.

We will be given the candidates the Parties give us, and we will like it.

My signature was a warning and few listened.

What's most concerning to me isn't the numbers, it's the candidates.

Folks like Bill Maher and that Minnesota Rep are begging the Ds to dump Biden for someone the country actually wants.

The Rs have a different problem as Trump apparently still has enough of a base that they're terrified to cut ties with him. Plus, he might be the only R whose numbers are beating Biden right now.

Hillary warns Trump part 2 will be "the end of our country".

This right here is how any sane and rational person should be able to spot someone that's full of shit. I have been hearing this same rhetoric every presidential election forever from both sides. It's absolute horseshit, and any person that utters it should immediately lose all credibility.

I don't want Trump or Biden to be president again, but I also want people to stop with this sort of fear mongering bullshit.

And even though I agree with like 90% of their platform, this is why I can never admit to being a democrat in public.

Funny story.

Back during Hillary-Trump, my right wing dad got into an argument with me because I said I was voting third party. He said, "This is the most important election ever. If Clinton wins, it could be the end of our country."

Four years later, my left wing wife got into an argument with because I said I was voting third party. She said, "This is the most important election ever. If Trump wins, women will lose all of their rights."

You can't make this shit up. They're brainwashed cultists. Very smart outside of politics, but when it comes to politics, it amazes me how dumb and tribal people become.

This is part of why I am so done with the two parties and people who claim one is better than the other. They're two sides of the same coin. Neither actually works for us.

I still argue one party is better for America than the other. Though neither is close to ideal.

I know you would. I respect your opinion. However, I think it is dangerously wrong. And that is NOT saying the other is "better".

Absolutely fair assumption.

Here's my platform:

- Raise minimum wage to $15
- Shut the illegal border. Send people back home.
- Raise taxes on those earning more then $400k/year
- Raise capital gains and dividend taxes for those earning more than $400k/year
- Legal abortion.
- Support for Ukraine + Israel
- Remove China's cheap mailing program to the US
- Death penalty to scammers
- Increase punishment for all crimes.
- Legalize non-hard drugs (pot, LSD, shrooms)
- Increase police spending/crackdown on crime
It's not me, it's someone else.

I agree with everything except your crime platform.

Doesn't the USA already have the highest per-capita incarceration rate?

I would recommend a completely draconian "retraining" system for repeat offenders, up to and including taking away their children so they can be raised better. The offenders get removed from society to an island (I still recommend Australia) and they get to play "how can I be a better person" somewhere in the outback.

Wouldn't it be easier to just issue them SS# and be done with it? They are already here getting free education, health care, etc. Put them on the books and start taxing them.
Heavily punish the people that hire undocumenteds. THEY are the ones perpetuating it. They save a TON of money by not paying the worker a fair wage, they don't pay taxes, they don't pay insurance, etc, etc, etc. The biggest winners in all of this are the people hiring them. End that.
