Fair point. I did misread 'one on one' to mean Democrat vs Republican with 'stepping back' to mean viewing Third Parties.

I totally agree with your reasoning, as it was my reasoning. The guy is old, not a debate. He's a gaffe machine, too. Some people pushed the meme he was losing a step, but while I saw him as old, I didn't see him as washed up or senile. The guy just doesn't know how to NOT put his foot in his mouth (I share a lot in common with him on that regard!!!), and there were an awful lot of bad-faith actors saying that he wasn't just old, but senile as well. They're still around, saying he's too old and senile to run the show now, and he should resign.

I think how Harris is being treated by various people on and offline should be a key indicator that Biden's resignation wasn't the end of the bullshit factories. They each have their own desires for their choice of President, and they can't even agree with each other who that choice is. Some will scream for Sanders. Others will scream for Stein. Some particularly pigeon-holed ones will argue for Fruit, despite her being mathematically eliminated from 270 before the first vote is cast. And lets get real. There are all to many of them who will tell you "IMMA FOR JILL" or some other tiny Third Party candidate while actually wanting Trump. Some think that a Trump presidency will lead them to the Progressive Promised Land. Others...are here to ensure we're so busy infighting that we can't put a unified resistance up, so they can get the Handmaiden's Tale they desparately want.

If Biden gave up because America is dumb, I don't blame him. In 2016, I tried hard to get out and get to Canada or New Zealand. But now Canada and New Zealand are overrun or about to be overrun by dumb people too. :|

This poster thinks I didn't know. But how can it know that. I just pointed out that there were literally hundreds of articles, then correctly cited the date. It's not making the point it thinks it's making. The media covered both idiots that took the pot shots at the Trumpster Fire. To the tune of hundreds of articles.

Folks, win or lose, the aftermath of election day will be a shitshow. I've written up a guide for how to survive Election Day 2024. The TL;DR: form is prepare for a hurricane or blizzard, with a nod to crazy people by preparing for self-defence, then be ready to hunker down. Election 2024 promises to be crazy, given how 2020 went down. Please look after yourselves!

You think you have a big gotcha here, but it was covered extensively when it happened. The google (or Bing in this case)(you don't want us to do returns over 10 pages of results, including articles from:

• NBC News (top result)
• US News
• AP News
• Wikipedia
• CNN
• NY Times
• LA Times (literally, coast to coast here)
• NPR
• Reuters
• Fox News (of course...)
• Politico

Some of these sources wrote more than one article, with at least three by CNN and two by NPR.

You might think none of us know that Trump came close to assassination on 2024-09-15, but did you know that Trump didn't tell his secret service detail he was going to the golf course, so they didn't do a perimeter sweep before he got out there? They only found the shooter because Trump was finishing up one hole and they rushed to the next and spotted the would-be assassin.

Well, Trump has already killed millions of people with his stupidity. What's a few more?

Got proof of this? I mean, only once in my lifetime has a third party cracked 10% of the vote share. Easily 90% of the votes given have gone to a guy or gal with an -R or -D after their name for President.

I just want to point out that you didn't need to tone police yourself for my satisfaction. You needed to tone police yourself to the mods satisfaction. And you failed. I have no power here. My constant bitching about how the mods show you lot too much difference should make that abundantly clear. I called you out to the mods. They found you lacking. Maybe leave off accusations about shitting peoples pants in the future and you won't get modded? That said, I'm done with you.

Right. I like meat. Not going to lie – I can be convinced to eat more plants and less meat, but I’ll fight you if you try to take my meat away.

My father and I can’t be further apart on politics. He’s a Goldwater Republican, old-school hard-core conservative that doesn’t like Trump the man, but loves Trump the politician. He runs his big truck on >>Earth Day just to spite the Environmentalists.

Sounds like you guys have a lot in common behaviorally despite your professed political differences.

And you wonder why you get so many downvotes and pushback. You stand in judgement over what somebody else wants to eat. It's not enough for you to meet half way. If they don't capitulate 100% to you and subjugate themselves at your feet, you spit bile at them. You automatically assume the worst about other people, hurl invectives at them, and wonder why it is your candidate of choice doesn't win. Thanks for illustrating that 'my way or the highway' isn't just Republican territory.

Reply to edit: Then block me. I'm not going to stop replying to your nonsense, so you might as well just block me. ;)
