Maybe. It's not just about rape though. It's about things like climate change, which is more important. — bert1
New Dem campaign slogan "Some things are more important than rape. Vote Biden". — Baden
It's you and Frank Apisa who are helping to reelect Trump by hurling abuse at anyone who feels like they should vote for someone who actually represents them. — Baden
What you should be doing is calmly outlining what it is that Biden offers progressives apart from not being Trump. — Baden
Republicans and Democrats are gay marriage, abortion and a somewhat tougher stance on immigration. — Benkei
From the Netherlands the only meaningful differences between Republicans and Democrats are gay marriage, abortion and a somewhat tougher stance on immigration. — Benkei
My issue with the Baden accusation, I mean Biden, is that only FoxNews seems to have heard the charges and everyone else is ignoring it. It is worthy of investigation and supposedly neutral news' outlets should investigate every allegation equally regardless of the political affiliation of the accused.Biden has been credibly accused of sexual assault. No progressive who cares about women's rights should vote for him until a proper investigation is carried out. Period. And any who do are massive hypocrites. — Baden
What about climate change? Do you seriously believe governments and corporations and people are competent enough to make a difference? — h060tu
If other countries can do it, so can we. — Xtrix
What do you object to the most? — frank
I've already started looking for a plot of land with enough arable land, a self-sufficient modular home and I'll be advising my kids to study agriculture. — Benkei
I think you're grossly overestimating what other countries are doing. I live in one of the more progressive countries in the world. It's not enough. Corona lock down will be a joke compared to the costs we will be confronted with once climate change really hits.

I actually went to the Biden site where he lists out his positions. If I had to pick what I didn't particularly like, it would relate to raising taxes specifically on the wealthy and corporations, because I'm tired of the class warfare, which is how this usually plays out. He wants to study the idea of reparations, which I find horribly polarizing and unjust. That alone will cost him my vote. He had an entirely hands off stance with China, and I do see them as a threat and concern. I'm not in principle opposed to tariffs as he is. I didn't like his idea of raising teacher's salaries, as I don't follow how the federal government should have a hand in that very (very very) local issue. He's in favor of 2 years of free college education, which in principle sounds good, but that sounds again like a state issue, considering different state institutions charge differently and private colleges are much more expensive. I'm also opposed to campaign finance reform because I'm close to an absolutist on free speech. His objections to drilling for oil I largely disagree with. — Hanover
