I can't say that I am really pro-Biden, but I am pro-sanity. I see more of it coming from one camp than another. I also know that I am really outnumbered here for better or worse, and I don't really feel like "debating" my point of view with people who think I am deluded/naive/a socialist/in bed with anarchists. I have given a lot of thought, as a progressive capitalist, to where I think my vote is better directed. We are all entitled to our points of view, and I don't fancy being belittled for a decision that I have made after quite a bit of thought.

For me, it's pretty simple.  I look at what Biden has accomplished in 47 years that is good for America, and what Trump has accomplished in 3 years, and there simply is NO comparison.  Trump blows Bid

I will never understand why anyone would associate anarchists with progressives/leftists. Sure, some self proclaimed anarchists are in those camps, but it's just like many other libertarians who aren't really libertarians. The anarchists I know, want to obviate the state. I don't know any of them who think Biden is any better than Trump. Literally zero.

Completely agree. I dated an anarchist once (a VERY long time ago) and he was absolutely nowhere on the traditional political left-right spectrum. The autism spectrum, maybe. :innocent:

So just come out and say it... You are an anti-Trump person.  You cannot articulate why, but you just feel best being that way.  It's ok, you are not alone.

I can articulate why, thank you. But I don't feel it's of much use here so I don't.

Naw, I don't think so.  You've been offered more than one opportunity to do so, both publicly and in private, and have failed to rise to the challenge.  Which is sad, considering how well educated you say you are.

So they are not anarchists promoting no government, but rather radical Leftist activists promoting a major change in how we are governed.  I would put them squarely in the Marxist/Communist camp.

Sanity........from the Democrats.....yeah, right...............

 

Green New Deal

Free, Free, Free, Free EVERYTHING

Condoning looting, violence, burning down communities

Defunding/Abolishing the police

 

I have a different definition of sanity.

You make a very good point. I am sorry this is not a place to express your personal views and not be belittled.
