Folks who live in urban areas usually realize they need a LOT of government services.  It's quite a bit less in subuurbia and down to near zero in the sticks.

It's interesting to me how much focus is on a word here or there instead of policy differences.


yes, for some reason I don't care if Biden said garbage and meant it, or if the word was in the transcript or someone changed it to cover it up

I will be damn glad when the election is over

Also, interesting that a sitting President can call half of the country garbage. It reveals his true feelings about deplorables.

So, deplorable garbage. OK then.

It's one thing for some comedian nobody has heard of calls Puerto Rico garbage. This was not that.

I personally don't care what Biden said, or meant to say, to me it's irrelevant to anything of import, but I understand that it's a chance fo deflect other comments and perhaps garner a vote here and there.  Biden gaffes are common.  I imagine he'll be not allowed out of the basement from here on.

Biden should have stepped down long ago.  He should do so now.  What he just said as President is beyond disgusting.  The effort to cover his ass by his staff is disgusting.

A. Irrelevant? You can't be serious. 

B. Who is running the country? I'm serious.

He should have never run in the first place. Nobody over 70 should be allowed to run or serve.

It's not relevant to me.

The same people that were running it all along are running it, to the extent there is anything for a President to actually DO at the moment.

I'm not sure how much ANY President really makes decisions very often.  Decisions are made for them, usually.  Speeches are written, their schedule is managed for them, I really don't know how much the person in the office really does.  I would think Biden does next to nothing but sign stuff.

It would be fair to say that most people who deeply don’t like Biden wouldn’t find this kind of comment in any way disqualifying, correct?

Like, they don’t like the idea that something like this might have been directed at THEM. But I sitting President making this kind of comment about half the country is also to a degree acceptable and probably laudable if aimed the “right” way.

I always believed this until Trump was in the White House

Out of curiosity, if you’re comfortable saying, which third-party presidential candidate did you vote for?

A long time ago, I followed a VP around for a day, was in every meeting but one.  This isn't an exact analog of course, but what the VP "did" all day was lilsten to other people talk and tell them to carry on.  Every presentation was highly "sanitized", he didn't make any decisions, he was "managed", I'm pretty sure he knew that.  All day, talk talk talk.  It was exhausting to me, and pointless.

I really think most of the time, a President is similarly "managed" by underlings, if a decision is to be made, the information provided is tailored to make one decision obvious.

A President nominates over 4,000 people to various positions, he maybe knows of 30 of them?  The rest are dug up by his staff.  What other decisions does he make?  Whether to sign legilation or not?  OK, done for him, usually obvious anyway.  Attack "X"?  Usually done for him by others.  Give speech?  Written for him.

I voted, with my wallet and immigration top of mind.

We had 7 choices, plus write-in.
