    MSNBC going full propaganda mode in the last couple days. The fear mongering is absolutely batshit over there, they don’t even attempt to do news anymore.
    Apparently it will signal the end of democracy if Donald Trump is elected democratically.

    One side is worried about the end of democracy in our country the other is worried about where trans people piss and if it’s fair that they play in sports.

    Choose your concerns wisely.

    I have told several members here, never to quote or contact me ever again. Yet they try to. I don't ever read what they post. I already told them to leave me alone. If I have ever told you to leave me alone. Leave me alone.

    Yet more proof that humans just don't listen.

    If they won't listen, clearly nobody should ever listen to them. No matter who they are. Period.

    Have fun people. I'll be over here watching the shit show as both sides won't listen to nobody... but their own.

    If so I'm going to vote for him twice. That's hilarious!

    What's worse, someone saying humans don't listen, or someone not listening to people saying "you're making up shit now, please provide proof"?

    How about you be an adult like the rest of us.

    I've had you on ignore for years now. I'm like HCP, I see posts and go 'why can't I see this?'

    But unrelated to you (zags, as this has nothing to do with you) there's an old saying.

    "if you don't want people to think you're racist, don't say racist shit".

    But in this place, if you don't want people to respond to you saying stupid shit, don't say stupid shit.

    So stop saying stupid shit (I'm looking at you @THE HCP )

    One of the very sad side affects of dementia.

    The person with dementia often does not know they have it. Even during the very early stages. The longer it progresses, the less likely they are aware they have a problem.

    So Biden's behavior, and refusing to remove himself from running for a second term. Is completely in line with the dementia process. Everything apears normal in Biden's world, to him.

    I have gone through the complete dementia process, to the end, with 2 people very dear and close to me. From here Biden's situation will only get much worse. At some point. Someone will need to step in, and do the right thing. That someone should be his family. But from all accounts, they refuse to.

    I sincerly hope a dignified way is found to end this.

    Can you show me where you've called for Trump to be dropped as the Republican candidate? I think that's the most sensible, dignified way to end this.

    I do not pander to any cult members. You are not entitled to an answer, nor do you deserve one.

    Either you have a reading problem, a memory problem, or you are looking to make trouble. If you had done research on my posts about Trump. You would not have asked such a silly question.

    I'm guilty of this too, but something about Biden post debate is inspiring people to type out piles of absolute dross. I'm sure Fisherman is sincere with being concerned for Biden's dignity, it's just that dementia itself is being used as a way to appear neutral when calling for him to step down.

    Now this is a bit of a detour but I watched a YouTube video last month by a history teacher named Sean Munger on the 1924 election season, particularly the disaster that was the DNC. The NYT, on pure coincidence, ran an article about the parallels of that election to our own a 100 years later. It's an entertaining read if nothing else, hopefully not a preview for the upcoming DNC.
