2020 Election

Re: 2020 Election
Biden seems to have a real temper problem, he's shown it several times before. He can't stand to be contradicted, or have his record criticized, or really be challenged robustly at all.
I fear for him in the debates, and I'm leaning Dem in this election.

Re: 2020 Election
That being said I will vote for Biden. We have two nominees whose combined age is what, 150?
He had a similar faux pas back in 2008, he praised Obama as an "African-American who was clean" or something like that. It was a minor scandal that went away and then Obama picked him as VP.

Re: 2020 Election
I interpreted that picture as the GOP trying to purge black voters from the eligible voters list and ending up taking away white voters too.
Biden might be great at putting his foot in his mouth, but he's not actively disenfranchising people like Trump.

At this point you're either being exceedingly dim or deliberately disingenuous. Either way I still can't help you.

Meanwhile, as our Tara Reade correspondent has gone "strangely" quiet on the subject of her allegations against Biden, here's an update:
"Reade, under the name Alexandra McCabe, for years testified as an expert in domestic violence cases for the California D.A.’s office. Among the issues is whether she lied about her credentials to qualify as an expert.
“We are investigating whether Ms. McCabe gave false testimony under oath,” Monterey County Chief Assistant District Attorney Berkley Brannon told POLITICO on Tuesday.

Re: 2020 Election
My favourite was Biden having a stand-up row with an auto assembly worker in Michigan over 2A rights, telling that he was "full of sh*t" and when the guy quoted his own words back at him he asked him to step outside. Combined with his cognitive decline means the less the public see of him, the better it is for his campaign. It's a miserable state of affairs to be in given how many candidates the Democrats had to pick from.

Re: 2020 Election
You're generous with your time; you efforts are to be applauded.
But reading the following lengthy, detailed piece today (which I found a bit overwhelming/depressing) - leads me to wonder whether what you're doing in 2020 is a tad yesterday:

I always tell people that each effort, and individual can make a difference, and attitude can take you a great distance in this world. Many of us in our little organization have gone out and spoken to adults that had made mistakes in their young lives and for that reason were ineligible to vote until the recent changes in the state of Florida's laws. We stressed to them about the importance of being a force of one, and how it feels so much better making the effort to change a bad status quo and not just sitting around complaining. What happened in Minnesota with the murder of that innocent man should encourage people to use their power to make changes in policing but that influence begins in valuing the right to elect officials that represent our idea of a decent society.
A small team of canvassers can blanket an area that is filled with people that don't understand the power of their single vote when combined with other first time voters. And some of those people can not be reached by digital means with the same level of influence as a warm body standing in front of them expressing the importance of being heard and felt. My team will be in minority communities throughout the state of Wisconsin in a few months. People sometimes forget that the 2000 Presidential election was decided by just 538 measly votes in my state of Florida where a lot of strange things can happen when people are asked to mark a ballot. I have personally registered 993 people in one presidential election cycle, and 965 actually did vote. Just shows how one motivated person can be a force of change.
