That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    If you read an entire page of my comments and think I support trump because I’m critical of Biden, you’re stupider than I thought :P

      I think you’re arguing against voting for Biden, which ends up being the same as supporting Trump. You’re either doing that intentionally or you can’t grasp the simple fact.

          It’s really not. We have a two party system. If you don’t vote for the better choice, you might as well vote for the other. It really is that simple.

            this is all just storytelling. it’s not even true. voting for another candidate is voting against all other candidates, and, if i’m voting for them, then i must believe they are, in fact, the better choice.

              If someone doesn’t believe Biden is the better choice over Trump, there’s really not much left to discuss at this point. We all know who Trump is.

                it’s not about whether he’s better than trump, it’s about whether he’s acceptable. there are much better candidates, in my opinion
