Well, no, everything you say there has been disproven, is thrown by team trump as a distraction...

Uranium one deal

Of course if you want to look at nepotism, then look at trump, which is why he tried so hard but failed at manufacturing dirt against Biden... even getting impeached for it

Still that post has firmly nailed your colours...

Neither red/blue team is going to provide this.
Of course they want change. Anyone wanting another 4 years of this stshow must be clinically insane.

He's just withdrawn the US from the WHO over THEIR handling of the virus!

Just take a moment to let that sink in...

I dont agree with withdrawing, but their 'handling' of the virus was not great either.

Please understand my view that i dont want another 4 years of trump, nor do i want his least-worst opponent as an ill take anything but this option.

Frankly the presidential goal is wide open for someone to smash, limiting the outcome to either red/blue is counter-productive.

And that's the thing - with respect (I don't know how well you've looked into the above) ALL of the above accusations have been thrown at Trump supporters and, without fail, ALL have been unfounded. This is Trump's playbook

1. Take something that he is personally guilty of
2. Accuse his opponent of something similar
3. Whilst his opponent is busy disproving it throw another accusation against him
4. When opponent disproves Accusation 1 double down, pretend there are flaws in the evidence, say "many many people are saying...."
5. Opponent is now disproving accusation 2 so create accusation 3.

So basically what you're saying is that Biden and HRC are "as bad as Trump because of XYZ" even though googling "XYZ (factcheck)" will bring up numerous sources which will explain why XYZ is rubbish.

That's why Trump supporters get labelled as exceptionally thick. Because only the exceptionally thick would accept what he says at face value, and only the exceptionally thick would repeat what he says without doing even the basic checks.

Absolute cobblers.

I was asked why i see them as equal to trump. I have provided examples.

Uranium one saw a significant quantity of an important resource sold to the russians, under the watch of hrc. You will note that i said there is plenty of mud to sling at all of them.

If you were as critical of others as you are trump, you wpuld make your own independent view rather than quoting snopes.

You are extremely partisan and clearly unwilling to engage objectively.

Might surprise you that as an exceptionally thick trump supporter i was aware of U1 before trump.

I wish you all the best with biden

They're politicians; it goes with the territory.

The difference with Trump is there is an entire goddamn mountain of st to sling at him, not just the odd handful here and there.

As I said already, anyone that thinks Trump is only as bad as his opponents is not worth engaging with.

This I can agree with. Biden was seen as an inoffensive safe pair of hands to win the election. The Dems could have been bolder by choosing a more progressive candidate, but played it safe. TBH they could have put up Krusty the Clown and I think the Dems could have pulled it off.

It is all moot unless the winning president has the backing of the Senate and Congress. Otherwise, stalemate.

Nevertheless, that’s the choice.

So which one would you prefer?

I dont believe either are right, spolit ballot for me.

I want an alternative option. I am not forced to choose between two bad outcomes just because it suits political dogma.

It's a uranium mine; it's a commodity just like all the others(source material rules aside) and treating it as something special and not just a commodity that is traded globally is stupid, who owns a hole in the ground is of no interest at all. If there was a shortage of uranium there might be a point to this but there isn't.

You're like the guy who won't order from the menu. As crap as the bipartisan hegemony is it's the incumbent dog in the manger, so you're getting a bite of the st sandwich whether you like it or not. Short of a cataclysm it's not changing so develop ways to evolve it or learn to like the taste of st.

Good job your opinion is of absolutely no consequence whatever then.

It’s always a binary choice here, we have a 2 party system. Biden is an excellent candidate who was elected by his party after a rigorous primary process (that’s the system here you see) and who has been enthusiastically endorsed by every single one of his primary opponents and every major figure in the party. In terms of experience and accomplishment he is probably the best qualified candidate since GHW Bush.

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath with a dwindling base on the extreme right of US politics. He not only does not have the support of many leading figures in his own party, many are actively campaigning against him and for Biden. (See Lincoln Project, Republicans Against Trump etc...)

The choice is straightforward, America or Trump.

The absolute coblers is that you didn't even read the link disproving what you claimed. I could equally give you dozens more links disproving what you have claimed but you have your blinkered views.
Then suggest that "You are extremely partisan and clearly unwilling to engage objectively."

Laughable...
