nathan:

we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils, to accept a new (old) President whose neoliberal globalist warmongering ways, literally delivered the electorate to Trump

Biden was selected by a rigorous process open to a multiplicity of candidates. If you don't like that, it is your problem.

You didn't watch the same Dem Primary that I did, if you think it was a rigorous process.

The process is a hypocritical sham controlled by the Dem Establishment, they, CNN and particularly MSNBC, along with the other candidates who strategically dropped out, put their neoliberal corporatist man Joe in.

Its not only my problem, its the majority of American voters problem, they're not going to get the Medicare-for-all, a reduction in the Pentagon budget, and the end to perpetual, endless, forever wars, that they've demanded.

"President Donald Trump said Sunday he's postponed his plan to throw out the opening pitch at a New York Yankees game next month, extending his run as the only modern president to not take part in the long standing tradition.

The President cited his "strong focus" on the coronavirus pandemic and the economy as reasons for the delay ..."

Well he has had problems with his hand and or arm in the past. I mean he should be using a Tommee Tippee cup so don't except him to throw balls and play catch with the other children in the White House.

I heard a Yankees manager say he wasn't invited. That might have something to do with it.

neb: The US just hit 150,000 dead. Predictions at the start of this month were that they were going to hit 100,000 by the start of August. #Winning.

Not that it's really any less appalling, but the US hit 100K before the end of May.

1/45, so I'm 98% correct

It is easier to prove corruption than lack of it, but honest Abe and Truman are generally considered pretty clean. That puts you far below 98%. Now what was that other one ... ?

Ah, yeah, sorry, the claims were made further back than I remembered (gawd, it seems like this thing's been going on forever), and were from the White House so obviously pulled out of thin air, or more probably somewhat less well-lit places.

nathan:

The wider point is that you are full of BS, but let me finish demolishing your argument anyway: I'm not sure what your definition of old is, but Wikipedia puts the median age of presidential accession at 55 years, while the two youngest presidents were in their forties. In other words, no single part of your assertion is true. Like your other posts here, it is just made-up fake bla-bla.

You seem to be trying to stir things up and provoke emotive responses by saying outrageous things, but if you are a Russian troll, you are not a very good one. The idea is to be subtle so people don't catch on. Equating Joe Biden with Donald Trump is not being subtle. It is also not being even a little bit accurate, just like your ridiculous statement about presidential candidates having to be rich, white, corrupt and old. You are entitled to your opinion, if that is really what it is, but don't expect to pick up many converts here.

@Nathan, it's against etiquette to post directed responses at users.

I know I'm being a hypocrite by posting a directed response to you.

You'd be easier to take seriously if you'd post links to some resources instead of posting some wild conspiracy theory.

For instance you said both Trump and Biden are rapists. A serious charge.

Trump admitted to sexual assault with his infamous "grab them by the pussy" remarks. He's also closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein and his sexual grooming wife. Sexual misconduct allegations have been made against Trump by at least 22 women.

Want to back up your claim that Biden is a rapist? Tara Reid has changed her story:

Tara Reade alleged in April 2019 that Biden touched her in ways that made her feel uncomfortable while she worked in his Senate office in 1993.

In March 2020, Reade alleged that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993.

one candidate is 73, the other 79, that is old. Both are white. Both are rich. Both are corrupt. It is true that neither are proven rapists.

I've never posted an outrageous fake made-up thing, ever.

I'm a frustrated voter, not a Russian troll. The only thing I want to stir up, is the system that accepts both these useless candidates as fait accompli. Its not good enough, its pathetic.

nathan: the question voters aught to be asking of their 2 respective parties is how do we keep a straight face and believe that 2 70 year old men are capable of performing the hardest, most stressful, most important job in the world.

I agree that both candidates are too old for the job.

Both candidates are "rubbish", but very different kinds of rubbish:

Biden is past his "best by" date.
But Trump is toxic waste.

Age has sod all to do with their abilities to lead the same way gender and race have sod all to do with their ability to lead. The attributes of the two leading candidates seem to be seriously lacking and I would feel fail to meet the key skill sets to meet the requirements of the job. They are incompetent at he minimum age for the role (35) as they are incompetent now in their seventies.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

The Washington Post - Trump, Merkel and the U.S.’s waning global clout

today

For a third year in a row, Germany is on top.

An annual Gallup survey that polled respondents in 135 countries and territories over their views of four major world powers - the United States, Germany, Russia and China - placed Germany at the head of the pack, with a median global approval rating of 44 percent.

The United States ranked further below at 33 percent, just about tied with China, the country that President Trump and many of his Republican allies view as a civilizational rival. ...

Other recent polling offers further evidence of the trend.

According to a Pew survey of respondents in 32 countries, 64 percent of people said they had no confidence in Trump as the United States’ leader. ...

A December 2019 YouGov poll in Germany found that Trump was perceived as a greater threat than autocrats in Moscow, Beijing and Pyongyang. ...
