    Has He?
    like 2 months ago, "if you don't vote for him, you're not Black". A couple weeks ago, "Trump is the first racist president". Charlemagne the god just a couple weeks ago said he should shut up about race.
    Maybe, he's learned, maybe it's all talk who knows.
    To me their both bad. The thing is and this is fine but almost everyone who votes for Biden will be voting because of their disdain for Trump. I have heard no one give a good, well thought out explanation that showed Biden was a good candidate or could be a good president. The argument is simple, Trump is bad, get him out.
    I would venture to guess of the DNC's presidential candidates almost no one in here actually wanted Biden to win, yet here we are with two crappy choices yet again.

    Quotes taken out of context doesn't mean he hasn't shown growth, or that Trump doesn't possess a severe lack of progress as a human being.

    So what has he actually done that has shown growth?
    Do you think he's a good presidential candidate? Did you want him to be the nominee?
    No one is defending Trump, but it keeps circling back to that because the DNC and GOP have convinced people that the only options are the crap they give us every 4 years.

    There you go again speaking in generalities. You don't think there are trump defenders in this forum? in the country? GOP and democrats haven't had to convince people there are only two candidates in this race. It's a fact there are really only 2 candidates in this race. With that being the case, who are you voting for?

    When told he was creepy, he vowed to change his behavior and admitted he was wrong.
    When told he was creepy (several lawsuits) Trump didn't change his behavior and has perpetually blamed the victim.

    Yes I think he's a good candidate. No I didn't want him to be the nominee. I didn't want Klobucher be the candidate and wouldn't have supported her.

    So Trumps quotes are never taken out of context? Like when he said it was a beautiful thing people are coming together to help the people dying and it was spun as he thinks its beautiful people are dying?

    The one way justification is kind of alarming.

    Probably Jo Jorgensen. Though she's got a lot of issues of her own.
    I will never vote for a democrat or a republican unless a lot changes, because I am of the opinion that they are very corrupt parties that have sold themselves off to large companies, big tech and foreign interests. I believe they both are full of people who use the US military to make a lot of money. They both play divide and conquer politics.

    haha, no I'm voting just not voting the way that the two corrupt parties like to intimidate voters into picking one or the other.

    Biden apologized hours after the exchange with prominent radio host Charlamagne Tha God on the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club,” saying he “shouldn’t have been so cavalier” or “such a wise guy” in a call with the U.S. Black Chamber of Commerce.

    “No one should have to vote for any party based on their race or religion or background,” Biden said.

    Good candidate? Yes. Want him as the nominee - given a blank check, he was not my first choice, given the limitations of having to remove an evil incompetent man from office that poses the biggest thread to democracy in the USA since maybe the McCarthy days - certainly want him as a nominee.

    Your opinion, but I think it is just a wrong one. If you are looking at it in classic algorithms look - it is a BFS vs. DFS - at the end of the day, I believe that DFS makes more sense when you have so many options and need to whittle them down before the general population gets to make a choice.

    At his age? BS. The only signs he's shown are that of a sock puppet.

    Isn't DFS almost always the choice to use when thinking of long term implications and decision making?
    I mean I get what you're saying but BFS usually assumes the right choice is closer to the root, which may be the case in politics I'm not sure. I'd have to think about it.

    Edit: Sorry I thought you said BFS makes more sense.

    Edit: Still need to think about it though there are pro's and cons to both.

    yep....and the ironic thing is he's actually explicitly admitting the obvious in his tantrums: that being that his only chance in November, and the only chance for the R's in November, is to massively suppress votes. If everybody who wants to vote and legally can vote is allowed to vote, trump would suffer one of the worst losses in history, and the R's would be the minority party in congress and most states

    * "It's incredible that the president of the United States keeps openly saying that the only way that he and his political allies can keep their grip on power is by making it harder for large swaths of the population to vote," said Robert Maguire, research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

    Trump's tweet Monday was just his latest baseless attack on vote-by-mail expansion, which the president has repeatedly claimed—without evidence—will lead to a surge in voter fraud and cost him the presidential race.

    Contradicting the narrative pushed by the president and the GOP, Nevada's Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske told state lawmakers last week that her office is not aware of any voter fraud from the state's June primary, which was conducted largely by mail.

    William McCurdy II, chair of the Nevada State Democratic Party, said in a statement Sunday that Trump's "protestations against mail-in voting represent an utterly hypocritical attempt to deny Nevadans the same rights" he and members of his administration have exercised repeatedly in past elections

    My experience has been that developers like BFS because they like options. Unfortunately, what I have learned from working with UX designers is that when it comes to large populations - limiting choices (DFS) usually works better - which explains why curated solutions seem to be more popular with large populations - people just do not want to go through the entire process of choosing from so many options.

    Now, we can have a discussion if the number of choices should be 2 (currently), 3, 4 or 5 - but at the end of the day, I suspect that anything more than that will not be beneficial at all for such a large population. When you need to handle large populations - limiting the choices seem to bring a higher percentage of "satisfied" customers (and elections are basically a study in compromises).

    Ummm.....you DO realize that Donny is now 74 years old (only 3+ years younger than Biden)? And if reelected President Chump will be a year older at the end of his term than Biden is now? I’m not sure that age and mental capacity are particular hills the Republican Party wants to die on. But then, hypocrisy has never stopped them before......

    Reich wing: voting by mail cannot be trusted. Dead people, non-citizens, now even dogs like @SlyPokerDog can vote

    anyone else: proof?
