    Getting Trump out was not about vengeance, it was self preservation.

    Biden didn't run on a "lock him up" card. In fact most democratic candidates specifically avoided that kind of talk.

    okay, lol.
    I read sooo many posts… Anyone but the racist!!!!!!

    to say people didnt vote against trump out of vengeance is sooo rich…..lol.

    People were saying Biden is a puppet and the responses were “ Yeah but anything is better than…”


    So to rail on someone for voting out of vengeance when the bulk of the 2020 election was out of vengeance and had nothing to do with a Biden policy direction is soooo laughable….

    Vengeance had nothing to do with it. Abhorring Trump's dynastic tendencies and having a President who lies constantly has something to do with it but mostly protecting our democracy had a lot to do with it. I don't believe in vengeance which is why I oppose the death penalty.

    You appear to be mistaking self-defense for vengeance.

    No, not at all. The Democratic Party in 2020 had a platform they ran on (unlike the R's). And Biden himself had quite a few specific policy planks.

    You may not like what he proposed, but it is definitely policy, not merely Trump hatred.

    To not be like trump? Wanst one of his campaign runs to get the covid testing under control… because it was Thought that Trump didnt have control because he was Trump?

    i seem to remember a tweet the other day around here on how Biden said give him a year or something and he will fix it? Or he will get it under control?

    Seems to me the bulk of everything was, i wont handle it like trump or i wont be trump?

    and most people voted for Biden not for his policies, but to get Trump out of the office???

    pretty darn sure thats how it went down?

    Biden had a plank but there were a large number who voted anyone but Trump but can you blame them?

    Couldn't agree more with Jake.
    If there is a plan and objective, its good to measure criteria. What gets measured gets done.

    cant really argue with that other than for my own vote which had nothing to do with Hilary. I almost voted for her honestly but my conservative values kept me red.
    But yeah, so round and round we go.
    Who's gonna be the bigger party and stop pointing fingers and work for a better tomorrow?

    Im sooo looking forward to that.. in my dreams tonight. Lol.

    I wanted anyone but trump. Me (raises hand). I’d rather have a blender running America than that pile of shit. I would like him to go play in a busy intersection on live tv. Can I make it any clearer? Fuck that guy and anyone who supports him.
