    I will never accept him as my President anymore than the left accepted Trump. If Trump wins re-election, can we come together and accept him as President? :roflol: I doubt it.

    I've been told a couple of leathery hands on your shoulders and a pair of nostrils pushed into the back of your head will turn any non-believer

    You need to be careful then. I delivered money in an Armored Truck for 20 years in gang ridden So Cal, leathery hands with holes in the torso's they are attached to don't worry me a bit.

    The Right didn’t come together when Obama won. The Left didn’t come together when Trump won. So if Biden wins the Right won’t come together. The US has become the land of petulant children. It’s all about tit for tat now. We are a laugh stock to the rest of the world.

    One of the more compelling arguments for a Biden presidency is we do indeed need to try to find common ground and work together as a nation to solve our problems. The chances of doing so with Biden are not great but the chances of doing so with Trump are zero. Because he thrives on divisiveness.

    I don't think it is likely. The political division in the country isn't really about politics in my view. It is about human behavior. I think it was caused by the creation of the internet. It allows people to fight with each other anonymously. Perhaps fighting about politics is cathartic. Perhaps it is destructive. I really don't know but I do know that people didn't behave like this before the internet arrived.

    Explain please. Details needed. Such a vague statement should be easy to give actual examples.

    Actually the open drive toward globalism/socialism is more apparent than ever. Traditionalists haven't moved. Populism has opposed the establishment. It's oil and water and it doesn;t mix. If Democrats made a radical turn back to center......we might come together.

    Yeah it would be better for the left to keep the conflict under wrap so they can incrementally push their agenda. McCain and Romney knew that!

    They behave the same using different tools reaching a wider audience. An electronic message in a bottle.

    If he won fair and square and didn’t have e 99% of the fake news media attacking Trumps 24 hours a day. Sure. But Trump is the greatest president in the history of America getting attacked by propaganda machine national local big tech media

    If we end up with a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate I hope the repubs don't forget what they did to the Supreme Court something like a week before the election. I also hope they don't forget what they did to the Democratic President the last time he tried to appoint a new member of the Supreme Court. I hope the Dems finally grow some balls and kick ass.

    Biden isn't even preaching common ground, he's preaching my way or the highest and will bomb the highway into uselessness off you try to use it. And Kamala is worse.

    For some people, yes.

    If people don't like it here may I suggest some other places. N. Korea and the Phillipines are both lovely nations and N Korea is even unspoiled by our light pollution. Most importantly, both have leaders whom the Bronze God regards as the best in the world so certain people should fit right in there

    The difference is the anonymity.

    You asked. I answered.

    Apathy is so strong on the Democrats' side as it is, what with Biden's age, his documented mental decline and preposterous word-mangling which normal people might do once in a great while whereas Groper manages it nearly every time he speaks. These word-salad spews of his are signs he is not going to last long if he does get elected and does get sworn in.

    It's quite possible court rulings against Roe and or the ACA will provide all the momentum needed to get the Dems moving in the direction of ensuring the will of the majority prevails.

    Huzzah, exactly

    I'm not at all sure I want to heal with people who want to lower taxes on corporations and raise them on me. Nor am I all that interested in getting along with people who want to encourage young thugs to come from far away to shoot demonstrators down in their own neighborhoods. I don't really care about the 2nd amendment but I see no utility whatsoever in enabling madmen and criminals to kill me and my family for no reason. Finally, I don't think we should subsidize the oil industry and I don't support that we abduct children from refugees.

    No, I'm sorry, I want Biden to win because he's NOT Trump. There's not at all a lot that I can agree with conservatives on. There never was really but even less now.
