    Biden explicitly made it sexist and racist, insisting on a black female. He got half of that. The longer this drags on he will regret it. If he has any mind left at all.

    Well he isn't a Republican. He has actually vote for Democrats before. Biden had an opportunity to make it a good choice. I get why he was disappointed. It's easy for you and me to say that's just Democrats being Democrats, but I never was. I'm not sure if you are aware either.

    Believe it or not I actually want Democrats to be better. I don't know that I'm as conservative As You Are. When things were more balanced, I was an independent. I don't like the Republicans even now. There are a few people I like, and a strong Democrat Party holds their feet to the fire if they have to be better if they have a chance of losing office.

    So in a way I share his disappointment. We could have tried a little harder they could have been better. They're so consumed by identity politics and I really think that's the Fringe. And that's based on people like Styx, Tim pool Joe Rogan to an extent. They are the forgotten left.

    It makes me wonder how emboldened the Democrat voting base would be if the candidate said to hell with identity politics. If they did that I doubt Trump would have a snowball's chance in hell of winning re-election. Because that's what Trump did. Republicans were going through this ten years ago. McCain and Romney George Bush, these *******s all played the media game. Trump said f*** you to them. And the people love him for that, if nothing else.

    Sorry I went on a little rant there.

    It seems what a trump supporter is is someone who trust's Trump and not the media caricature of him.

    When the f*** tardes in the media say stuff like Trump is advising you to drink Lysol they discredit themselves, and when you repeat it you were discrediting yourself.

    It's okay to support Democrats, I'm glad there are Democrats in our country, if it was just Republicans we would still be living in the 1950s and pretending everything was okay.

    Apathy is what it's going to kill you and destroy your party. It's why you have candidate like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

    It's why Republicans ran McCain Palin, and Romney Ryan.

    We want the same thing it's just we disagree on how to get there.

    To start with Trump ridiculed McCain, Romney, Ryan and Palin (although in her case she wears that well) so to fly their flags in defence of Trump is kind of absurd given he mocks everything they stood for.

    Next Republicans did not run McCain, Romney and Ryan, they rejected them and ran Trump.

    It is true Biden and Harris like Trump are the result of party politics on both sides and the nature of the two party system in the US and I must confess I go with Jesse Ventura's argument on that and that is, maybe its time Americans consider whether having only two choices in this day and age is working.

    The fact is Biden and Trump are equally as demented and given their ages and dementia, the Vice President candidates have far greater significance in this election than in any other for that reason.

    All kidding aside, I respect both sides of the vote. I am not American. I respect anyone who votes period. If you don't vote, I challenge your right to complain. In Canada where I am from I believe we have a large sphincter as a Prime Minister.

    I actually from my outside view very much supported Romney and McCain. I criticize Obama foreign policy and I know economy wise he was not strong and there was corruption with him no different than in any other governments. However as a Canadian we liked him in the sense he was eloquent, respectful and when he came to Canada was very open and polite. Clinton was the same way. Reagan was. From our perspective Trump is the stereotype rude ignorant American.

    Now that said, I agree with you people in both parties like we do in Canada with our Conservatives and Liberals get caught up in partisan nonsense and forget about the importance of policies.

    From a Canadian perspective we find Trump absolutely ignorant of not just Canada but his own governors and Senators that do business with us every day and like us depend on free trade. US Senators and Governors who deal with us have zero issues. Trump does. He is not working with his Senators and Governors in regards to free trade that is needed for both countries.

    It is a total like that we are dumping aluminum in the US an absolute like to try make himself look tough for election time.

    Bullshit. Free trade favours the US far more than it does Canada. Our cheaper aluminum does not put US aluminum out of business, it can't-the demand is far higher than what we supply but we do help keep the prices for all Ameticans lower which translates into more work for Americans not less. Increasing aluminium prices prevents certain businesses from engaging in their trades not help it. It only helps a handful of aluminum producers monopolize the price in the US and keep it artificially high ripping off their own businesses needing it. Trump who claims to be a business man, uses government to prevent free enterprise when it suits him. Free markets to him means markets his friends can control not true free markets.

    Now who he serves, which cartels, which consortiums which power networks of industry and business I don't claim to fully know but he's no defender of the people, or the American worker and no he is no damn patriot. He is a sham. He is being used as a distraction to whoever the powers are behind the scenes for their agenda.

    I think Biden is as corrupt only he has a different network that may have similiar, the same or different particpants.

    Maybe there is zero difference and its just a sham. I can't say for sure nor can you or anyone.

    I can only go by his ignorant behaviour and demented outbursts and no Biden aint much better but at this point Biden is less rude.

    Maybe that means nothing but I can't see the US going through another 4 years of this insanity. This man is Putin's wet dream. He spends all his time alienating and waging war against his allies allowing China and Putin and lunatics like the fat boy in Korea and Erdogan in Turkey free reign proppping them.

    He's a Putin stooge. Trump spends each and every day lying-out and out lying. The lies are recorded on fact check and anyone can find them. This is a man who claims Biden is senile and corrupt. What is Trump?

    How do you use the name of Romney in the same sentence? You do realize Romney and mainstream Republicans have distanced themselves from Trump. They have no one but themselves to blame for allowing him to walk in and take over. They could have and should have stopped him by unifying around an alternative candidate but they refused to. The Republicans created him through their own dysfunction.

    As for Biden, he like Trump shows he is their candidate because of dysfunction. The fact is if either party was unified neither would have selected Trump or Biden.

    Yes Kamala Harris is calculated pick to get black, minority and women voters. Trump however is no different. He panders to racists and extremists to get voted in. They simply choose different audiences as to who to pander to.

    The Republicans specified white and a penis. No its not amazing. You are just selective of what selective process you choose to notice. It is human nature. Homo sapiens are pack animals-they create packs based on fur colour and colour/spot patterns as well as perceived testacle size and mating ability. With baboons alpha males are typified by the largeness of the inflammation and different colours in their ass cheeks.

    This explains why inflammed asses and political leaders are synonomous.

    That said, Alpha females can arise when there are a shortage of large apes or apes with tiny testacles. The strongest try lead the pack. Its the way of homo sapiens and all simeons including humans. Our alpha male selection process is under confusion because of wide spread use of estrogen in our environment causing all men to turn genders. Take a look at the size of Trump's breasts.

    Jane Goodall could explain better.

    Alpha females are becoming more common because men's testacles are shrinking. This is why Donald huffs and puffs to try make it seem bigger.

    Have a nice day.

    I hear the word disinfectant being talked about with contacts to be injected into the human body I hear something that disinfects the human body.

    You hear Lysol because that's what you want to hear. It's not because that's what he said.

    Joe Biden specified black and female, sexist and racist combined. He denied other races and the male gender (the very charge you feebly levy against Trump!). Can you post a link to where the GOP specified which plumbing their candidate would need? You've claimed it --- what, twice, three times thus far?

    Its all good man Im not a Republican. I voted for Gore but it was right after high school and I hadn't done much living yet.

    Im conservative, a registered Independent.

    I support Trump because of years of watching Republicans roll over. Even now I think many will go right back after Trump is gone and plenty are still lame.

    First thanks for very thoughtful reply I appreciate that. I also appreciate the Canadian perspective.
    you are absolutely right the parties are not unified but they never have been and they never will be. It doesn't work that way when you have 330 million people, they aren't all going to fit in one of two camps. The political parties are general, it's likely that very few people agree with them totally. So you have to compromise when you vote. What would you prefer and what could you live without.

    I'm all for more parties I think that would be great more choice always better than less choice, but the third parties are pretty crappy if they weren't they would get more votes.

    as far as aluminum trade goes I yield to you you know way more about that than I do.

    I don't buy the Russian conspiracy that seems to just be something made up by the media to try and justify impeachment that went nowhere. And it seems like at every turn the Russian conspiracy is proven wrong.
    so Trump being a Putin stooge might as well be the Earth being flat as far as I'm concerned. It has the same credibility.

    I think Trump's whole purpose of running was to show Republicans how not to care about the media. And I really think it's going to be different in the coming elections, because the news media is absolutely and totally discredited with everyone except for blue dog Democrats. They would vote Democrat no matter what.

    The thing I'm wondering about is whether or not the media wants Donald Trump to win, the way they are reporting is setting up Biden for loss.

    When every single tweet Donald Trump makes is headline news, the news media likes that because they have more viewers. So I wonder if they really do like him for his ability to generate sensationalism among their viewers.

    Three totally inconsequential or necessary for the job. But at least we know you, as do the Democrats apparently, believe FEMALE, BLACK & ASIAN vote based on sexism and racism.

    And we see the canards they will be running

    I turned on the announcement and the first thing I hear out of Biden's mouth is CHARLOTTESVILLE followed by HITLER'S GERMANY and KKK he basically saying all the white people there were white supremacist racist. Well those who know anything know that is totally false and that Trump NEVER praised what few white supremacist racist who were there.

    Then Harris claiming that were it not for Trump the COVID virus would never have caused a medical emergency and the economy would never have been effected. It is ALL because of him personally. And that Obama/Biden had some great economic recovery and the Republicans did not take back the House in 2011 and the Senate in 2015 lame ducking Obama, it was a Republican economy handed to Trump just as it was a Democrat economy that got handing to Obama. And then that Trump "ran it into the ground".

    The Obama/Biden which lost the House, then the Senate and then the White, and had the worst economy recovery in history, let alone their lack of policies to mitigate the 2008 recession will have that record put up again just as last election. They can try to falsely make it about race but they have little to run on as a success while Trump will point to actually policies he instituted to help minorities.

    Do you really think he chose her? His campaign people or his wife did that. And, why? Because I don't think Joe will be the eventual pick for the Democrat party at their convention. I think they want Kamala the Awful because she is good at debates and they want her to debate Trump.

    I'm not worried about the Republicans. It's the Media that worries me. They are already trying to spin her as a moderate. Something she's not. This woman has skeletons in here closet. A long list of them.

    SHE’S NO MODERATE: The Progressive Media Mislabels Kamala Harris. Anyone who isn’t the favored candidate of the woke far left is now a "moderate."

    [​IMG]

    The Lying Fake News New York Times called the staunchly "progressive" Harris a “pragmatic moderate.”
    Harris supports rent control
    Harris supports the Green New Deal
    Harris strongly supports reparations
    Harris said she would issue an order imposing gun control
    Harris supports a tax on financial transactions
