    Maybe a stupid question but how come in a nation of 330 million people, many of them should be qualified, the people are limited to two bad choices?

    Has it always been this bad in US presidential elections?

      There’s actually a lot more bad choices but you never know about them because nobody cares.

    To be fair, the man is traveling constantly right now. I’d be exhausted if I were almost 80 and flying all the time.

      Fair. I wish people on Lemmy could take a genuine comment for what it is and not over-interpret is as political support, as I am sure you don’t support this person.

        Why would anyone possibly think a person defending Trump supports him?! /s

        Yeah this person totally isn’t a rightwing nutjob, with gems like this in their comment history:

        There’s no correlation between the violent crime rate and firearms regulations in the US.

          Calling ~50% of the population “nutjobs” isn’t particularly conducive to productive political discourse. Solely using strawman and ad hominem fallacies just make you look like a partisan hack, not a serious person.

          It’s totally off-topic, but I stand by what I said in that other thread. If you can show me that there is a correlation that evidences decreased violent crime and increased firearms regulation, please let me know, I’m eager to read it. FTR, I get my crime stats directly from the FBI.

          I consider myself to be a classical liberal, someone who believes in the liberal values that allowed our great nation to be founded in the first place. To that end, I have no compunction calling out hypocrisy whenever I see it. Do I think Trump is a good person? Hell no. But between him and Biden, I believe that Trump makes the better president. The US and the entire World were objectively better off based on the stats under Trump than they are under Biden.

            It is absolutely a lie that 50% of the population supports trump or thinks guns have nothing to do with crime. I won’t waste my time with a bad actor like you other than to say in regards to your request for a source about crime: see any country that made guns illegal. I’m truly tired as can be when it comes to dealing with your type. That is why I’m on Lemmy. Maybe you should consider facebook?

    Sleepy is the product of much GOP work. Donny needs his own.

    Drowsy Don?

    Tired Trump?

    Comatose comb-over?
