    Who voted for Biden yet the vote was not for him, but anti Trump?
    The media worked America over for 4 years to create the illusion the public hates Trump.
    No matter what Democrat ran the only thing on the mind of Democrats was to get rid of this Trump guy.

    Poll today is for those who voted for Democrats

    Simple, you voted for Biden = yes due to Biden
    You voted for Biden due to you hate Trump that much. =no

    Your poll answers leave a lot to be desired.

    I voted against Trump, but I didn’t need the media to convince me he was unfit for office.

    Trump has been the most fit president in some time. He accomplished far too much to be classified as unfit.

    He was the most paranoid and deranged president since Nixon. Maybe the most mentally unfit President we have ever had.

    "You voted for Biden ... now be honest"

    Isn't that an oxymoron?

    This time next year Biden will have rejoined the Paris climate accords and ended or signaled an end to fracking. Hello higher gas prices and unemployment.

    Thanks Joe!

    A lot of us knew trump before he ran for president. Since i would have voted for Howdy Doody I'm glad I had the chance to vote for someone like Biden who will "make America great again".

    you do realize that American oil costs more than foreign oil right?

    when it comes to resources like oil, let's buy those overseas, keep ours as a backup for when theirs runs out

    I didn't cast a vote because BOTH your choices influenced me, while neither accurately reflects my inner motivations. I don't "HATE" Trump, but I am seriously uncomfortable with him as a person, as well as a politician. Part of my vote was a response to Trump's abrasive personality & behavior, coupled with his clear ineptitude. But an equal part was a vote in support of Biden's friendly, inclusive, positive, constructive, compassionate approach to the Presidency, which has been totally lacking since Trump took office. For me, the choice was easy. I find Trump's divisiveness dangerous to the country I love. I find Biden's commitment to reunifying that country while honoring everyone's concerns, a very positive, exciting prospect. Biden is clearly the better choice.

    I keep noticing how not one of the Trump haters is capable of being president of the USA yet have the nerve to allege Trump is not qualified. That is like a critic of Tiger Woods alleging he is a lousy golfer because of skin color. Trump did a very good job as president and accomplished a huge amount.

    I am willing to look at your figures as delivered. Who told you American oil is more expensive?

    From my biased view as a liberal Democrat, Trump failed to work with Congress to achieve much of anything. About everything Trump did, he did using Executive Orders, which he harrassed Obama for using before he himself became President. His tax cut was designed to benefit the wealthy rather than the workers. The worker tax cuts had a decade of gradual reversal, while the tax cuts of the wealthy remained fixed over time. But for me personally, it was Trump's inhumane treatment of Latinos along the border & the forced separation of infants from mothers with the incarceration of both for undetermined & unlimited time spans, that really convinced me that Trump was unfit not only as President, but as a human being. His sudden & deadly abandonment of the Kurds in Syria, after they had been loyal allies & friends in warfare, was another turning point for me. I know of no President who ever betrayed fellow combatants while actively engaged in combat in the field, like Trump did. That's disgraceful; & for me, totally unforgivable. In spite of all this, I don't "hate" Trump or his supporters. But I have a real discomfort with Trump, & with some of his supporters. I also have hope that there are elements of Trump's voter block who are open to the facts & who still retain some human values that they might realize Trump trounced as President. I am hopeful that the group retaining the ability to see beyond their blind allegiance to Trump, may be capable of working together within the wider sphere of common ground shared with Democrats, toward helping this country heal again. Those who really love their country will help it heal.

    Because that is the only place where he would have the power to do so. Anywhere else will require actual legislation. And even that has limitations. That does not mean that he would not try to get rid of it all together. As he admitted in the last debate, he wants to get rid of all of it.

    So your saying being beholden to paying exorbitant amounts for Saudi oil was a good thing in the 70's. I can still remember the lines at gas stations going around the block during the Carter administration. Thanks but I'm for producing American energy sources.

    I recognize that fracking is a significant part of the oil industry's labor force, & many jobs would be in jeopardy if it was stopped. I have been in that situation personally before & know how it feels. But we & everyone living now, faces the prospect that carbon & other greenhouse gases are warming our planet, & that increase in temperature is affecting every living organism in derogatory ways. There is a chance it could force mankind into extinction if left unabated. We can't afford to ignore it. We must end human release of carbon & those other nasty gases. Ending our use of fossil fuels is an important element of that program. History is filled with new technologies displacing old ones, forcing those living in those times a lot of anguish, but the necessity of altering their careers. That process is a constant across all time epochs. Every generation faces it. Our predecessors lived thru it. We can too.

    Uncle Joe will bend to the wind when Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders get him in a room by themselves. He's in over his head. They could talk him into anything if his wife's not in the room with him.

    Due to global warming, fossil fueled vehicles will have a short life span. Within a few decades, we'll be forced by nature to convert to electrical or some other fossil free fuel. Your debate on whether to side with American or Arabian oil will become a moot point. Sorry.

    And in each of those instances in the past the change was gradual and voluntary and came with better technologies that became cheaper and was easier to use. The government did not have to force anyone to change. IF Biden et al was just encouraging better technology that would be one thing. But they're not. They're trying to force change. And that never ends up good.

    I get it, global warming is a serious issue. But it is not going to destroy humankind anytime soon. Despite the claims the world is not going to end in a decade or two for humanity. (at least not due to global warming). Humankind has lived through far worse climate with far less ability to protect itself.
