We'll you voted for him or conversely you should have voted as if the choices were any better. I'll vote 3rd party instead or won't vote. Not voting is just as power a statement that nether choice is acceptable. The system resists change. Are we not better than we were 100 years ago? 200 years ago? Those changes happened because people voted and pushed for change. Sometimes it happens more quickly, but it pretty much never happens at the pace that those who crave that change desire. If you want a revolution because you think you can fix the broken system, be my guest. Go buy some guns and have at. I'm pretty sure however, it will end up like most revolutions. Even if it succeeds, it just becomes what it replaces. Edited August 17, 2020 by caeron Quote

Do I care what these past presidents would think, HELL NO. Those past presidents were the progenitor to Trump. Trump didn't just evolve out out some Petri dish. The racism was sown in by FDR and his exclusion of Blacks from federal subsidized FHA loan for homes, exclusion from the GI Bill (Hurt my family Great Grand Father Airforce WWII). Don't let me get on all the other virulent racists and sexists who have run this country. I could go on for days with all the other presidents on your list but I think people think most fondly of FDR so I hit him. If you look at Biden he is in the same club of sexists and racists. How does Biden solve Black crime due from poverty- Incarceration How did Obama/Biden handle Immigration from Central America caused by gangs (MS-13) that were started in Los Angeles- Deportation, where they can be killed by MS-13 because we decided to turn Guatemala into Narco state because we wanted right-wing Juan Orlando Hernandez and his drug trafficking brother because they would allow for American business interest to continue. How was Medical handled under Obama/Biden- Greatest blowjob to the insurance industry ever, not only was every American forced to buy private health insurance they were fined and the costs were astronomical. No public option, no expanded Medicare, didn't fix Social Security (Super easy just raise the cap on earnings). Biden is also the reason for the 1.5-2.0 Trillion dollar student debt crisis, he made it hard for regular people to discharge debt and impossible to discharge student debt. He is so far up Wallstreets ass that who cares if he didn't recommend Hydrochloroquine. He'll probably end up killing more people with his economic policies. You'll be lucky to afford the co-pay on your Hydroxy, because handsy Joe doesn't believe in universal healthcare for all citizens like most of the developed world. Finally, all the sexual harassment claims against this man and his apparent lack personal space with young girls hair makes me think, Why is he so much better a choice? All of the past presidents have sucked why assume Biden is better when he is cut from exactly the same cloth. This is all a game and political illusion to think the Obama's, Trumps, and Clinton's all don't just hang out in the same social groups but put on a big show for C-Span. It's why you see Michelle Obama hanging all over GW Bush after they spent their time in the WH saying he was the Devil. There are pictures of these people all at the same parties. It's a sham and Biden won't get my consent to be abused. Nobody with any sense believes Harry Truman or Lyndon Johnson was a racist. Edited August 17, 2020 by Buddy2 Quote

Some people really want to drink the Kool Aide. Not sure he realizes how hollow some of those laws are. The housing law and later lending laws largely allowed for racist to do as they wish with their property as long as they did an arms length transaction and low volume of business. (As a mortgage lending pro I was surprised at the discrimination we are allowed and the blatant racism I saw in lending with private money loans for house flips) If you look at the laws they did the least possible for affected minorities while still giving southerners the right to turn away minorities. The new conservative supreme courts have torn apart the voting rights act and they only stayed so long because we had a more liberal Supreme Court. These were just appeasements when we needed Constitutional Amendments. 60+ years with the war on poverty and Black households still only have 10% of White households wealth. tassojunior 1 Quote
