    Honestly, Biden did a very good job picking up the pieces after Trump. But ultimately he was returning to a status quo that didn’t (couldn’t?) address the problems with late stage capitalism. I don’t blame Biden, I blame that lack of choice in our Democracy.

        When your entire platform is we are not trump, then proceeding to be exactly like him, is a turn off to people.

        The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat,

          Even if Trump was convicted and imprisoned he still would have been able to run for president and get out of jail for his term.

          America watched what he did and didn’t care.

            There were things he did which could have disqualified him from office, which also weren’t investigated, and still doesn’t absolve slow walking everything.

            America watched what he did and didn’t care.

            No shit considering the education level of the country, number that flat out don’t know what he did because of the propaganda networks in the country, and the dems campaign strategy of ignore everything bad, that’s not happening
