    Good point. We could have had Bernie in 2016, but alas...

    It's unfortunate that Fetterman is having health issues. I like that guy as far as politicians go.

    Simply put.

    Naively, I expect a politician to live up to their word. Yet, none of them do.

    I also believe, that we should all care that our government doesn't care about keeping their word when they speak. It doesn't seem that people do though.

    If we all accept the fact that our politicians lie to us. There is clearly no reason to argue with the other party, as you already know that you also follow liars.

    I am seeing that human logic. Clearly isn't logical.

    Sir William Wallace said this pretty much.

    I guess that's where we differ. I don't expect any politician to uphold their campaign promises. They may have good intentions but I accept that they can't fulfill them.

    This, this is fact. Roadratt as he does, is conflating not being able to achieve a utopian panacea, but at least making steps and improvements to get there, with someone who is actively trying to destroy things for their own profit. Joe Biden and the majority of Democrats in general genuinely want things to improve, and they actively work on legistlation to make that happen. Whereas Republicans, and Trump in particular, are actively working to destroy things.

    One is understandable if slightly disappointing, but if you both to try and understand reality it's not terribly disappointing because you can see that thanks are improving even if they aren't as quickly as you would like. Whereas the other is just flat out despicable and has no redeeming qualities.

    That is 100% correct, imo.

    Where are all the environmentalist at in helping with the homeless and cleaning areas up.
    Its like the professional environmentalist that leave that leaves office building office building downtown, off to produce a tv show, or promote a book, ,only to step over and around trash and shit on the and sidewalk to jump into EV.

    It’s certainly not going to happen all at once. Slow and steady wins the race.
    The offshore wind turbines might be a huge win but it’s going to take fossil fuels to build it.

    Can't speak for Portland but in the Bay Area environmentalists, myself included have cleared debris from wetlands and other fragile ecosystems.

    "Genuinely want things to improve"

    That's what I took out of that because both parties are "trying to improve things". It just differs on WHO they're trying to improve things for.

    I support inclusion.

    Red side doesn't do that. Blue side tries to. Green side always prevails. Sorry if that's dystopian.

    Joe Biden can straight up go fuck himself. He is a piece of shit, same as Trump.

    This useless motherfucker isn't doing for Americans. I watch so many horror stories going on here in America. Joe isn't fixing a single one of them. He is only making them worse.

    With me, Biden is on the same list as Trump. An inhumane, useless piece of shit who doesn't care about human life. And, if you aren't living in a bubble, or have your buried up his ass, you would see him for the evil that he truly is.

    So signing a bill that was unanimously passed by the Senate and Congress to lift the statute of limitations for convicting child sexual abusers is a reason to think he doesn’t care about human life?

    Yes you truly do sound like you are “King of your own very little world”.

    You can post their supposed differences all you want. It is completely meaningless.

    I post about Biden's lies, same as I did when Trump lied to America.

    The left literally ignores, or shits all over every single article that goes against their candidate or party. Same as the right wing does.

    Until someone can logically show me why America sends more money to kill people around this planet than they do to fix our homeless crisis, or any of the numerous other crises America is currently facing. They can sit down and shut the fuck up. Because the never ending excuses for your party/candidate failures is just that, another lame excuse.
