      With Kamala now the democratic nominee?

      I’m not a big fan of former law enforcement (prosecutor at least) being in charge but everything else she’s done seems to at least suggest that she takes her jobs seriously along with the responsibility they entail.

      I’m waiting to see who the VP is before I get too gung ho, but so far I’m pretty on board.

      I don’t know exactly why Biden waited so long to decide not to run again but I am happy he provided a good bit of shielding and wasted a ton of the GOP’s money on attack ads that can almost be mirrored for free against their nominee.

      I think we’re gonna see some really ugly rhetoric from the right over her being the nominee and that doesn’t make me jazzed. I worry that it will spark another rise in anti immigrant/minority rhetoric and violence like the BS about COVID did, and I work in and among minority groups so I worry what it will do to their outlooks on their future and how they feel about the country they are a part of.

      Any specific aspect you want to ask me about or is that just a generic response request?

        Wanted to see where you were at after being so stuck you couldn’t see that Biden was a bad choice and that it wasn’t too late. And maybe an apology would be nice for name calling.

          Well that’s a shit way to put it.

          Biden was an ok choice and he was still polling strong. Him deciding to abstain from the final run doesn’t mean he was a bad choice, not does it make any of your analysis correct.

          Also: You’re still a doomsaying asshole. Not once did you make a reasonable argument supported by data other than your feelings but you continued to push out “If we keep behind a president who has arguably been extremely effective at doing shit, we’re handing the election to the guys who eat horse paste and spent double Bidens addition to the deficit for tax breaks while screaming about fiscal responsibility… because he’s a couple years older than the other guy and seems like he’s old instead of spouting gibberish and easily proven lies”.
