    Biden. I think Sanders is a bit of a clown. I wish Joe was younger, but oh well. Just stay alive and I’m fine. I would like Trump to kick the bucket and would vote for anyone but him. As in, kick the bucket. Die.

    I am not a Christian but my understanding is to be forgiven one must admit fault. Not use a sharpie to alter a map.

    And while it is true good presidents can be flawed it doesn't follow that the most flawed is therefore the best president.

    In my life I don’t think there’s been a president where (in my opinion) a larrrggeeee amount of people would be literally happy if he died. And before all the holier than thou people come out of the woodwork, I have no doubt I am right. So there.

    Actually, Jesus said, while hanging on the cross, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do."

    Now, there's some fodder for ya. ;)

    We've been through this before, @ABM . You said explicitly and repeatedly you support Trump because you and he both want to force your will on women's bodies. Nothing godly about it. I can't forgive because you both know exactly what you are doing.

    So, lets try to get this thread back on Track.

    Looks like Biden vs Bernie at this point.

    I have some strong disagreements with Bernie, but say I “had” to vote for one I think it would be him. I think he’ll make us talk about some things we should talk about as a country and if we can as a culture muscle past some of the very staunch ideologies that he has and the people very opposed to him have we can maybe reframe to an extent what we want out of our government.

    I kind of see Biden as sort of basically the vote of least its not Trump.

    Trump isn’t even a Christian. Can you name a Christian quality about the guy?

    He just knew that he could allure to the naive Christian types like you. It worked. Not a bad political strategy.

    Trump is more morally corrupt than any of the candidates in the democratic primaries. And it’s not even debatable.

    You are correct that the Deep State has raised/brainwashed an unaware army of hateful, soulless sociopaths, easily controlled and obsessed with hurting anyone who disagrees with them.

    Ever notice that you always misquote everyone to make it appear that they are "evil"?

    He never said that, of course.

    It's quite possible that they both die of old age before November. Biden's Alzheimer's will certainly be obvious and a media topic by Summer.

    Biden pluses: Pretty good VP. Respected internationally. He is empathetic. He would work to repair institutions, alliances, and norms of decent behavior shattered by Trump. Would appoint sane qualified people. Listens to others. Strong ties to African-American community. Biden minuses: Long history includes bad decisions. Questionable behavior towards women. Tendency to gaffes and lapses. Well meaning but won't tackle structural inequality, just nibble around the edges. Boring (although that could be a plus, like a person gets out of an abusive relationship wants their next partner to be safe and dull).

    Sanders pluses: Probably one I most closely align with after Warren. Realizes problems are structural, not just bad policy. Good relationship with youth and LatinX voters. Not afraid to make big suggestions. Sanders minuses: my way or the highway attitude. Doesn't explain how to get from here to there. Too many of his supporters treat him as cult figure who can't be questioned or disagreed with and we don't need four more years of that.

    I said I opposed China' s forced abortion as much as I opposed forced pregnancy.

    But do please mansplain to me what men forcing themselves on women is really like.

    This seems mostly how I kind of see the two as well.

    You could add up all of the shortcomings of all of our past Presidents and it wouldn't sum up to 1% of Trump's shortcomings.
