Yes
I don't feel unburdened by not knowing her name
Same way as we ended up with BoJo in charge here!It hardly needs stating that Trump is a deranged egomaniac who belongs in jail. Trouble is, Biden is a deeply unimpressive and worrying alternative — very clearly a man on the edge of senility and frequently straying across that edge. If Trump belongs in jail, Biden belongs in a hospital or care home where he can sit and stare at the telly all day. How in gods name has the US ended up with these two clowns fighting for the White House?
Seriously, just f*** off with this bullshit. Instead of the ad hominem, why not say exactly where you disagree? Are you a Trump fan? Do you think Biden is a good prospect for another 5 years in the White House? I’d be staggered if either of those was true. Don’t attack me, attack my point of view.Your first three dozen posts have largely been, the contrarian or attempts at fishing.
On a wind up, or someone previously banned.
You’re right, they weren’t much better. Trouble is though, in the UK our party leaders are elected with a small electorate of the party faithful. The rest of us get lumbered with their decisions. At least in the US there’s a much longer and broader election process which SHOULD ensure that the crooks and incompetents don’t get near the White House. It’s failed badly recently.Johnson versus Corbyn wasn't a million miles better to be fair.
We always elect the leaders we deserve...
Amazing coincidence how many views you share with previous, departed posters who share a penchant for the term ad hominem. Small world.Seriously, just f*** off with this bullshit.

As for the other bullshit that keeps popping up, I’d never visited or even heard of this forum until 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Biden is a career politician who knows how Washington and the world works. He might make some mistakes, as all Presidents do but, he will be surrounded by expert advisors and will take their advice unlike Trump.It hardly needs stating that Trump is a deranged egomaniac who belongs in jail.

Biden would never go off piste and spout the gash that Trump does and lie as standard, every day. So, yes, he's old and doddery but he's NOT Trump. You can blame the increasingly partisan US political system for eliminating so many candidates before they establish themselves.
When you listen to Trump spouting on about the US being destroyed by Biden's alleged left wing Socialism and communisim and see how many Americans believe that, be afraid.
Mmmmm....no our outcomes are down entirely to the swing voters. The faithful vote the same way (hence 'faithful'). That's not an opinion, mundane or controversial. It's fact .You’re right, they weren’t much better. Trouble is though, in the UK our party leaders are elected with a small electorate of the party faithful.

(Oooh, what a controversial, wind-up opinion.)
I'm talking about the party leaders, not electoral outcomes in general. I know that constitutionally we don’t elect prime ministers, only local MPs but in reality people talk about whether to vote for Sunak or Starmer, etc. Yet the general public have no input into choice of PM candidates. That’s down to a small group of activists. Less than 100K Tories and whatever the current Labour figures are (400K or so? Not sure.) We then get presented with their favourites who are rarely ours.Mmmmm....no our outcomes are down entirely to the swing voters. The faithful vote the same way (hence 'faithful').

Biden is absolutely a different type from Trump. Who is suggesting they’re similar? Certainly not me.
Trump is a dangerous nutjob, we agree. Biden is unsuited for the presidency for other reasons. I was pleased when he was elected, and I’ve been an admirer of his down the years. But another 5 years is too risky IMO. He’ll be 81 in November. There are 'young 80 year olds' like my neighbour who’s forever up a ladder on some DIY project, and there are old 80 year olds. Joe is in the latter camp. Leadership is largely about creating a sense of confidence— and I don’t have that with him. I worry for him every time he makes an unscripted comment. There must surely be plenty of talented, charismatic younger Dems who know their way around Washington?
You did say that " They are both Clowns " . Only one suggested injecting bleach or inserting bright lights to counter Covid... I could go on, the list is endless.. how about the call to the republican Governor of Georgia " I need you to find me another 10,000 votes, tell them you miscalculated " ... Biden is far from perfect but, Trump is not an option.Biden is absolutely a different type from Trump. Who is suggesting they’re similar? Certainly not me.

It baffles me that the Dems have gone for Biden. It seems daft. Is it not allowed to make a contest of it by nominating some other guys in a party run off?Biden is absolutely a different type from Trump. Who is suggesting they’re similar? Certainly not me.

Fair enough it was wrong to describe Biden in that way. I think he has a history of decency and honesty but I'm afraid he's losing his marbles and he worries me.You did say that " They are both Clowns " .

Biden is now just a puppet for those pulling the strings. He’ll be briefed what to say and do, and excuses will be made when he fluffs his lines, but there will, hopefully, be safe hands behind him. Trump on the other hand actually thinks it’s him who’ll call the shots, won’t take advice as he knows better, when in fact he’s woefully inadequate and a compulsive narcissistic liar. He’ll still have people voting for him in their hordes though. God bless America.Fair enough it was wrong to describe Biden in that way.

In that case then, we have one candidate losing his marbles and one candidate who lost theirs some time ago !Fair enough it was wrong to describe Biden in that way. I think he has a history of decency and honesty but I'm afraid he's losing his marbles and he worries me.
