You're just pissy because you know it's another guaranteed loss and there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe don't vote for a moron and abject failure next time and you won't be in this unenviable situation. I think it should be in everyone's interest that both the republicans and democrats come out with great candidates, that competition should bring out the best from both sides, rather than the benchmark being someone who is capable of beating a moron.
March 10, 20214 yr 18 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Just like the people that destroyed half of Portland for 6 months don't represent ALL democrats. The fools that broke into the Capitol don't represent ALL republicans. Most Republican's I know were hoping Trump would be impeached so we wouldn't have to deal with him in the primary again. Both sides need to stop taking the most extreme factions and their behavior as broadcast examples of their opposition. But here you've all turned the narrative back to Trump again, instead of the drooling old fool that you've elected. They don't represent all democrats because the democrats didn't take some antifa leader of Portland rioters and make him the face of their party, attaching his name to any requests for DNC fundraising.

But here you've all turned the narrative back to Trump again, instead of the drooling old fool that you've elected. "Half of Portland" was destroyed? Okay exaggerator in chief. Portland's bigger than that podunk town you live in -- so I doubt it was half, a quarter, an eighth or even 1/100th. It is 145 Square miles and has a population of about 650,000 -- so try again. The problem with your proposal is there is only ONE side to Trump -- extreme. There is no Trump lite. Despite what Lindsey Graham thinks, you can't separate out the bad from the good with that dude.

Damn Lloyd, I never stated it would happen, rather I am exploring the topic being discussed. I understand you are satisfied with the status quo, but there are others that explore the ideals and critique things, because they believe we should always strive for better.

Unfortunately that's what happens when you elect a moron: "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." —H.L. Mencken

I'll give a more sincere reply: Yes, it is in both party's best interest to have great candidates. It's a damn hard position to take, but dammit, you got me - I'll go on record.
March 10, 20214 yr 16 minutes ago, The Norseman said: Lincoln was possibly the most hated president in history while he was in office. So hated in fact that he was murdered while in office by his opposition. He also happened to be a Republican. By a man who thought he would be embraced and honored by the nation "like Brutus or William Tell", but who instead was hunted down as a cutthroat (paraphrasing his own words from his diaries in his last days). Much like the imbecilic allies of Trump who stormed the Capitol building in January. Yes, the parallels are there. Just not in the direction you think.

That isn't quite what was stated, it should be in the interest for a republican that the democrats come out with a great candidate because that should push the republican party to put forward better candidates. As well, it should be in the interest for republicans to support a great democratic president over a moronic republican. The point was made because I don't think it is in the interest for democrats to be happy that the republicans may have a moron running for them, just cos they should easily win.
March 10, 20214 yr As for approval polls ... Trump never came close to the approval numbers Biden has in the first month, despite the polarization of the nation. And Biden isn't even touting particularly high approval numbers. They're just a lot better than what Trump's were at any point from day 0 through day 1461.

Just went back to my source and it was a state poll of Alabama. Sorry, I thought it was National. That said, Biden's polls want stay this high for long. Once the memory of Trump wears off he'll be on his own. He wasn't popular as a VP and I suspect that trend to continue.
