    not because Biden is great but because Trump absolutely cannot be allowed to win.

    I hear all the time “Biden can’t run on being not Trump”.

    And Biden is great. He’s done a crap load.

      Biden has done some good things. I disagree that he’s great. If you want specifics, the first 90 seconds of that Sanders video is him detailing several grievances I agree with in a clear, concise and fairly complete list. However, to quote Sanders: “But while we may have our disagreements with Biden, it’s important to take a minute to think about what a Trump presidency would mean to our country, and in fact the world.”

      I know what needs to be done which is why I stopped encouraging/supporting 3rd party or undecided voting months ago. I could go on a lot longer, but that’s the bottom line. I’ll join the effort to stop Trump - just don’t ask me to agree that my concerns are invalid or have been adequately addressed.

        Lol see there it is. You chose to focus on the “not Trump”. I may watch it later, but you see? I talk about how Biden’s done great, and you talk about how he’s not Trump.

          So you won’t spend 90 seconds to watch the criticisms laid out, but you’ll take the time to tell me they are all either nonexistent or invalid?

            That’s not what I said, so now you’re horribly bad faith and I’m no longer willing to converse with you. Funny how you emphasis “not insult/shame” and then pull out that absolutely horrendous bad faith move.

            (FYI I’m on mobile and not watching at the moment.)

              No. You said “Biden is great”. I said, “I acknowledge he’s done some good, I still disagree, and here’s a concise list of reasons why. In spite of that, I’m willing to get on board to fight Trump”. You replied (and this is an exact quote): “I talk about how Biden’s done great, and you talk about how he’s not Trump”, completely disregarding that I directly addressed why I don’t think Biden is great. I did NOT just talk about how he’s not Trump.

              How am I arguing in bad faith? That is the sequence of events, and it’s easily confirmed. I’m also not calling you out just because you didn’t watch the video. I’m saying you didn’t watch AND disregarded that I explicitly gave you the video as a source for my disagreement with you to instead say I focus on “not Trump”. Now you’ve doubled down with a response that paints me as arguing in bad faith and linking that to insults/abuse. I never insulted you. Disagreeing is not inherently a slur or abusive, nor is pointing out the holes in an rebuttal. If you don’t have time to watch the vid that’s understandable but wait to respond until you do or at least don’t say I only focused on “not Trump” when that’s provably not the case.
