    Sally some people think “revenge” is a good enough platform to qualify sometime for the top office. As long as the revenge is at least pretending to target people they already don’t like or that they’ve been programmed to think had wronged them in some way.

      Most Trump supporters don’t seem to realize that he wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. Well, unless they’re members of Mar-a-Lago. I think that’s included in the membership, but I’m gonna guess that job gets delegated to Don Jr. or Eric.

      There are much worse agendas than doing nothing.

      If Harris’s entire agenda was “enter cryo-sleep pod in deepest basement of White House for 4 years, sign nothing into law and conduct no diplomacy” I would vote for her over Trump any day of the week.

      Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you’re poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you’re thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That’s one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won’t even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.

        Not “hundreds of years”, don’t let them make you think it’s old. The idea that “God wants you to be wealthy and healthy and being poor and sick is because you displeased God” only really goes back to the start of the last century, and gained a lot of traction with the Jesus People type revivals in the 70s, when faith healing became a serious mainstream thing in the US. The larger portion of devout US Christians were largely fairly apolitical to left-leaning until about the 50s.

          Biden has done some good with student debt, starting a couple years ago. He would have done more but was blocked by Republican lawsuits and the Republican supreme court. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good.

              Biden tried to do it and was blocked by Republicans. That is somehow evidence that Republicans should be given more power?

              Maybe Republicans need to stop being such predictable boogey men then if Biden so easily manipulated them to his advantage. What Republicans should have done to mess with Biden was to not block it.

                  No, he very much did everything he could to push it through. He did not know during the presidential run if Republicans would have enough seats to block it.

              Heads up:

              A plan isn’t a promise. It’s just a proposal to enact policy.

              Whey one rewrites a narrative in this way, accusing him of having made a “promise” and then breaking it- one is essentially creating a boogeyman that allows them to show him in a light that favors a clearly biased agenda.

                But don’t worry his plan is going to succeed this time! Lol also why does this only come up during an election. If you guys are too dumb to understand that Biden is just using you people as votes I can’t help you. I see right through the BS specially after 4 years!

                  Again, there is no record that I am aware of where Biden ever said “I promise… [THING].”

                  You’re creating a straw man by purposefully misinterpreting and misrepresenting the difference between a proposed policy and a promise.

                  And this will remain true regardless of how many you tube videos you post of people calling it a “promise.” This is a poor argument. You really should abandon it.

                  Lastly, be very careful with the “dumb” accusations. There are rules here. You may want to reword that.

          Has any US politician done anything for student debit? Is Biden the first presidential candidate who didn’t get what they promised done? This is what I mean, your expectations are not based in reality.

        I like to ask the posters like abo 3 “what is the role of the vice president?” They typically mhave no answer, make shit up, or propose things that are definitely not constitutional for a vice president. Then again, they want a dictator so the constitution has little to do with their reasoning.

          They’re an envoy of the president, they break ties in the Senate.

          They can’t ride planes together.

          That’s it, on paper.

          Biden managed to do some stuff with his “gaffes” but who knows what was intentional and what was sundowning a full decade before he was elected.

    If I tie you to a chair and tell you I’m either going to remove one of your eyes, both of your eyes, and if you don’t choose then I’ll remove both of them. I am sure you will reluctantly choose to have one of your eyes removed.
