Maybe not on B8 (although we already have 3rd-party voters here...), but in other places you have discussions. b8 is probably the most centrist place I talk politics >_> I'm vaguely aware that there are somehow people out there for whom Biden/Trump (only two options, gun to your head) is not a settled issue, but I sure don't interact with many of em. KamikazePotato posted... Real question: what can actually be done in states where GOP votes outnumber left-wing voters 2 to 1? Not much! I sure do wish Biden would do something about TX and FL, but I understand it's a bit more complicated than "do something about it." I will begrudgingly extend him some grace there. My issue comes in where the Dems DO have power, and are either refusing to use that power for good or actively using it for bad. I think our conflict boils down to you being much more okay with the status quo they represent than I am. They had their chance to show me they are the force that will stop Trump. I'm not even that convinced they WANT to. KamikazePotato posted... Over the past few years I've just grown very tired with the way that the left handles optics and rhetoric as a whole. It feels like watching them constantly shoot themselves in the foot. Fair. --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!
