2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

They don't understand that we don't worship Biden like they do Trump. Hell, most of us don't even like him that much.

My sister was the victim of public enemy #1 in my state. She survived but there's cyber stalking laws now because of her. Biden as a Senator sponsored her to speak to Congress. She's the recipient of the Jefferson Award.

My sister doesn't like his politics, she probably didn't vote for him. But there's no question that Joe Biden is a good person. He is

I think he's a good person, but I agree with your sister and don't like his politics.

I will most definitely be voting for him and anyone else who isn't a Republican for the rest of my life, though.

I wish I had more years on this earth just so I could vote not Republican for longer than I'm going to be able to!

Ideally, there either won't be any more Republican candidates to not vote for or they'll somehow salvage themselves as a legitimate political party, but I doubt either of these things will happen in my lifetime.

I believe they can reform themselves, but like you I know I'll be dead of old age before they possibly could.

Theyd have to stop being giant pussies and slightly less dumbass so yeah your lifetime probably not

These things don't even appear on the top twenty list of things that would have to change for me to vote R.

Yeah, believing in objective reality would be a great start.
