Just let Joe go on the attack and he'll be fine. If he's this guy over and ver between now and November nobody will remember the debate. He's not Obama or Gore or Clinton in terms of talking about policy. He's good as n honest guy that gets pissed about injustice. Just let him go and keep talking about how Trump is a one-man crime wave.

Job opportunity for my wife plus the desire to do something different post COVID and illness. Honestly I love about 60%-70% of being in Europe but the language and cultural barrier just is what it is. Bear in mind I didn’t live in the US until I was in my mid 20s, for my wife who outside of a couple of years in the UK lived in SoCal her entire life and hasn’t been able to really make inroads into the language at all it’s been even worse. |

Cool. And simply ftr, definitely don't take it personally that I miss anything anybody posts in this thread. I try to limit my exposure to it for my mental health. So I do only short bursts on occasion.

My wifes sister and her family live in England. They have been there about 10-12 years and are never coming back because of the mess this country is. We had an opportunity about 4 years ago to move there with my wifes company and actually live in the same town as her sister but we had just moved back to Jersey so we declined. |

There you go again knowing what I think. Is it ok if I just appoint you as my conservator? You do know me better than me. This woe is me bullshit has got to stop. I can't believe that trump went on national TV with lies, lies and more lies. He wouldn't even say he would accept the results of the election without a caveat. He lied so much I don't even need to review what he said. It's all just lies. Why would you vote for someone that can't tell the truth at all? Anyone remember Nixon? Americans are a sick, sad and pathetic bunch....just like trump. Perfect union. |

You seem stuck on the idea that anybody criticizing Biden is voting for Trump. Literally nobody in this thread has a vote that is up for grabs. Everybody is speaking in terms of persuadable votes/voters.

If you're talking to me, you are wrong. That's the thing about assumptions.... Discussing politics in a generalized matter with how it pertains to the nearest election. |

Mia culpa. Sorry for making you put your generalized discussion into multiple replies to a single individual whom you addressed singularly.

I despise Trump and what he has and will do with another four years. But like many of you, its not likely to have a large direct effect on me and my family and we are comfortable. We're middle class with our owm home with a great interest rate and reasonable mortgage. We both have good careers (though im a stay at home dad for at least another year until my oldest is in Kindergarten). We live in location we really like with nice weather and people mostly in the range of us politically (and those not are not as overt about it since they are still heavily in the minority here. My kids are part asian but are not those that would be targeted by increased hate and racism.

Trump sucks but we did live through 4 years of him already. Most of our lives haven't changed much under Biden. The Dems seem to be polling incredibly well in Senate races which will be important toward blocking judges. No doubt the Republicans will kill the filibuster if they control the Senate. And I think the Dems will take the House since they should have if New York didn't royally fuck up last time. The hope has to be that Biden doesn't drag down others in those races since he is polling so far behind other Democrats. If you're looking for a silver lining, Trump likely gets us out of the Ukraine boondoggle. There is a semi anti-war faction on the right. And liberals can go back to pretending they are anti-war/anti-genocide which provides some resistance. Despite all the sky is falling rhetoric, we're still an oligarchy and very little will change policy wise whether Biden or Trump is in power. Courts are going to be running roughshod over the country for decades and Democrats weren't exactly itching to stop it. So I think it's just 4 more years on a sinking ship. |

For those of us in red states, we aren't so lucky. My daughter is looking to move out after a friend of hers had a horrible pregnancy issue. We can't follow until we retire. It sucks. |

That happened while Biden was President. He had no way of stopping it and doesn't seem to really care to help those in red states anyway on the issue. Unless 3 conservative judges step down AND Biden was able to get new justices confirmed, it won't change in the next 4 years. The courts were a 40+ year plan by the right and it'll take a similar strategy by the left to restore any of those rights. Especially with how un-democratic the Senate is and how little most Democratic politicians care. |

I would hope they've learned a lesson but, yeah, the Democratic party continues to live in West Wing world instead of trying to do anything of substance. I'm just giving an example where Trump beating Clintion had a negative impact on our lives. Trump winning again just extends that 40 year estimate as Alito and Thomas would definitely retire given the opportunity. |
