  2. So Canada is ruled by a strongman authoritarian now? Do I have this right?
  3. Looking forward to voting against Trump again. Joe Biden could be a ham sandwich but he’d still get my vote over anyone in the GQP.
  4. Saw the Biden presser. We are so fucked. He’s (mentally) too old for the job and it shows. Looked tired and confused at points. I feel sorry for him and us.
  5. But also...one could argue the only Republican that has a chance against Biden is Trump. Like it or not, he is the “leader” of the movement and it will be challenging for the GOP not to nominate him. It’s almost like Trump doesn’t have that much choice. He will be the nominee, even if he’s dead or in prison. I very much want to be wrong on this.
  6. Still #1 in the world. Back to back champs.
  7. Joe Biden is easily the best Republican President of my lifetime and for conservatives, I’m not sure what there is to hate about the guy. He’s not going to do shit on guns, abortion, or drugs. He’s not going to raise your taxes. He’s not going to start a war. No major reform initiatives outside of infrastructure. No public option on healthcare. No open borders. No court expansion. Ideologically and on policy, Joe Biden should be perfect for the right wingers. It’s still hard for me to believe they’d rather have Trump than this guy.
  8. The dude is bought by the same interests that buy Republicans. I don’t know why we pretend this guy is a good faith negotiator.

    Bet they did nazi that coming... I’ll see myself out.
  10. It depends on your metric of success. More people have died of Covid under Biden than Trump and that’s with a vaccine. I know there are reasonable explanations for that, Trump, stupidity, disinformation but the fact remains the same. Biden’s pandemic focus has been more on the economy than stopping the virus IMO. The Democratic talking point when Trump was in office was, “we can’t fix the economy until we stop virus.” Well Biden basically did a “mission accomplished” in the summer and has moved on. No more stimulus money, no more halt on student loan payments, no more unemployment benefits, no more eviction moratorium. Meanwhile 1000+ Americans are dying of Covid per day, right now... seems kinda bad I dunno.
  11. Ironically when it comes to policy, Republicans are advocates for corporate welfare (socialism) when they’re in power because they don’t have the political liability of being called a socialist and voters are too stupid to recognize socialism unless someone on Fox News cries about a democrat doing it. Regarding your question, I can’t answer it but I can tell you both administrations are exploiting the pandemic for political gain at the expense of the population. The funny thing is Biden is behaving more like a traditional Republican on both a rhetorical and policy level. Disregard ongoing mass death, look at my fantastic economic numbers!
