Voters do not really care about Joe Biden ...

All across America, in conversations with voters about their choices this November, I’ve been hearing the same thing over and over again: “I don’t like Trump.” (Sometimes there’s a slight variation: “I’m so tired of this guy,” “I can’t handle another four years of this,” etc. The remarkable thing? Many of these conversations never even turn to Biden; in Phoenix, several people who had just voted for the Democratic nominee did not so much as mention his name in explaining their preference for president.
It’s a referendum on Trump, through and through.

Emit a sigh of relief and go about their lives.
Hell, yes.
Until the next election, when Hulk Hogan gets elected.

I have no doubt that 99% of Biden’s supporters are just voting against Trump. Of course, if it was any other Republican 97% of Biden’s support would still be the same.
It’s not about liking their guy, it’s about being against those evil, racist, fascist, greedy, stupid, diabolical Republicans. Trump makes it slightly worse, but is it really that much worse than it was with W, McCain/Palin, Mitt?
-
I’ll remind you that a former respected member called George and I racists for supporting McCain/Palin in 08. To me, everything now is more of the same.
#Walkaway is now referred to as a White Supremacy group that is very homophobic. A group that is run by a gay hairdresser and 70% of their speakers and panelists at events are black or Hispanic is considered homophones and racist... not because they support Trump, but because they oppose democrats.

Modern liberalism was a mental disease. Modern liberalism died from that disease, and the fungus that grew on its carcass has taken over it's political party's name. The intelligent liberals have abandoned the new democrat Socialist Leftist nonsense that took over their party. Those who remain are people who have no principles and will vote for anything the democrat party tells them to vote for.
One of the few common threads to tie the new democrats to the old democrats is the predictable way they vilify those who disagree with them. So of course democrats are voting against Trump and not FOR anything. What's new or surprising about that? That's how they do it ALL the time. The hate Trump. But they hated Bush too. Everything was "Bush's fault". They hated the first Bush. The hated Reagan. They hated every single Republican who dared run for office.
The democrat party IS the party of hate. It has been the party of hate for its entire history. And the rank and file Democrats still calling themselves democrats are driven by hate. That's why they are able to support the murder of infants- the have no moral compass, they have no principles. And they will vote for and defend the party line even when down deep inside they know full well it will end up costing them.
When I was in high school you were required to take civics in order to graduate. Then the mentally ill democrat/Left began to riot, destroy property, kill people, etc all while calling themselves the "love generation" . The democrat party got control of government, and civics was eliminated and replaced by "Social Studies". Soon, our colleges switched from being education centers to the brainwashing camps they are today, and now Social Studies has become "Social Justice". And old guys like me who lived through all this and watched it unfold get argued with by people who aren't even old enough to have lived through Jimmy Carter.
We hear "things are better when democrats are in the White House" and the claim is backed up with a bunch of bull shit they googled. Those of us who lived through the period of time you googled are painfully aware of just how wrong that is, but today's "geniuses" dont care because by God we've got data and we dont see that our entire worldview is tainted by the hate that every fucking belief weve been trained to hold is built on.
I halfway hope Biden wins. I don't believe the left in this nation deserves anything better. I think it's time for you to get what you've been asking for.

So what happens if Slow Joe is elected?
What will voters do then?
They'll begin to take their final flights.
There'll be no more airplanes in 10 years.
And no more coal to make electricity for their cars.

Maybe describing the outgroup as homogeneous and uniquely problematic isn’t the most effective way of communicating your (justifiable) unhappiness with being similarly typecast?
Right, I’ll fix that.
In my experience, 99% of the Biden supporters aren’t Pro-Biden but are Anti-Trump. Of the Democrat supporters that I have seen, 97% consider anybody supporting Conservative Values and Policies as racists, xenophobes, violent, gun crazed lunatics that aren’t very intelligent.
Full disclosure, this does not necessarily represent all Bidensupporters, just 99% of those I have personally interacted with.

What if I told you they only thought 97% were racists, xenophobes, violent, gun crazed lunatics that aren’t very intelligent?

As someone who hasn't watched the news much lately, I don't know much about Joe Biden.
However, I know enough about Trump. Hence, I'll be voting for Biden.

Vote issues, Mike. Not personalities.

I'd vote for quite a bit of that, TBH.
What worries me about Biden isn't his policies.

The paid family leave thing to me is hilarious. The number of jobs/careers/etc Americans have over the course of their professional life is increasing exponentially. Because they're all lazy second-stringers, of course, trying to mooch off of the real patriots around here. Has nothing to do with the fact that the average medieval peasant had more annual free time than the average modern office schmuck.
