    I don’t believe you’ve credibly evidenced that Lemmy is statistically representative of all subgroups of leftists. That you presume upon this with anecdotes is deeply questionable. I wish Push Shift still worked for Reddit because this would be so easy to search the comment base.

    Personally, I don’t consider him a charismatic person. I consider him a character in the negative sense, but that’s different. Off-the-cuff improv is horrendous (covevfe, his disastrous speech about the nuclear deal, drinking bleach, nuking hurricanes, etc.). There is quite literally no redeeming quality I see in a persn like that. Neither my mother nor father would be proud of me if I embraced a single aspect of his character.

    Trump is just as much of a cripple if you ask me. In fact numerous psychologists have come forward to question not only Trump’s mental faculties, but whether he is a full-blown narcissistic sociopath. Either way, I don’t really care about arguing over Biden vs Trump; one is twice-impeached and under several serious criminal investigations… The other isn’t under a single one.

    However Biden is literally a cripple and the fact as you said 58% of democrats voted for him is very worrying. Both sides are completely fucked up, if Trump just went away at least for me it would be much better.

    That’s not what I said. I need you to work with me here and read a little bit more closely. This is part of the problem. Incredibly, a sizable chunk of Americans lack reading capabilities beyond the 6th grade unfortunately.

    Won’t sit here and say Democrats are prefect, but you’re lying to yourself or just being lazy if you truly believe both sides are equally fucked up. Again, saying this as someone who’s been in both camps throughout my life.

    Ok but you’d expect a lot more criticism of Biden from the mainstream media. They are all too focused on Trump, he isn’t even president anymore and isn’t the only Republican candidate.

    He’s the primary Republican candidate and under numerous serious investigations. It’s like Al Capone all over again. What do you expect? Yes, Biden is boring; but like I said, Trump is also a character. And sensationalism sells. That’s why Trump is so popular with the uninformed and gullible.

    Meanwhile people like me hold my nose and vote for Biden because I am informed on the issues and know who is a much bigger threat to America (Hello… Inciting an insurrection on January 6th!?). Was Biden my ideal choice? Far from it.
