    Reality is closing in.

    Look at what Italy did and look at what Argentina did in their recent elections. I just hope these wacky left us don't push it so hard that it goes too far the other way

    You don't have to post a picture if you're leaving just go. Nobody is bothered we knew that was going to be the result anyway.

    That makes no sense, but that was what you intended.

    When you address the communist squad in your party, we can have a discussion.

    If you are looking for moderation in the Democrat Party, that ship sailed when Bill Clinton left office.

    Take a look at the participation rate. It's the highest since 2007 for ages 25-54. Bidenomics is getting the snowflakes back to work!

    I'm not so sure moderation among the politicians maybe not but there are voters and the crazier this Democratic party gets the fewer people are voting for them.

    One of the things that I always admired about the Democrats that the Republicans could really take a lesson from is the solidarity they have within party. I think that's being pushed to the breaking point.

    Between the walk away movement and the hysterics I think they're losing.

    That doesn't signify that you're stuck in your ways.

    I can't. You never link a source. One can only assume, since you are never forthcoming.

    How do you know that what you state in your posts is correct? Are you always absolutely certain? If so, you truly are amazing.

    Debate 101: When making any claim, the claimant must provide proof in order to be credible. Other debate participants can't respond unless they know where your "facts" were obtained.

    Um ... nope.

    Democrats and independents are the fastest growing voter demographics.

    there is very few things I'm absolutely certain on. I tend not to believe things just because everyone else is that's not really high role I don't believe everything I read and I trust but verify.
    means that leprechauns don't exist I don't then have to go find every person on the planet and administer a leprechaun test.

    Positive claims need to be proven negative claims don't. So you try to stick to the negative claim side of things as much as possible unless you can back up what you say
    If I'm making an observation I don't care. I'm not all big into following the rules of debate as often times I play for different outcomes that most people do

    Yeah that's all a word game have you ever heard the phrase there are lies they're damn lies and then there are statistics?

    I don't consider moderates and typical Democrats to be crazy wackadoodle leftists. If anything I think moderates interests and Democrats are embarrassed by them. Maybe they're not as outspoken but the next time some doofus throws Campbell's soup all over a painting think to yourself that are you proud to be in a party with that scum.

    Or do they not represent you

    Well “duh!!”

    Maybe you haven’t heard about a certain upcoming election?

    Of coarse bidens handlers depend on “your fellow Americans” forgetting the past 3 years and focusing on how things are “now”.

    I predict things will get extremely better as the election approaches.

    I also predict we will have some “event” if things do not go “bidens handlers” way.

    This is the career politician you trust to intelligently run our country??:



    Maybe this is what convinced you this career politician is the best man for the presidency:



    Now this is CNN footage, the source you biden supporters often use to PROVE your points.


    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-iSAh3haVtY&pp=ygUWQ29uZnVzZWQgam9lIGJpZGVuIGNubg==

    This was posted 8 years ago by CNN, anyone want to say bidens behavior or mentality has improved?

    Keep in mind if this worthless lifelong politician gets re-elected he will not have to face the voters again, in other words: his handlers can do whatever the hell they want.

    We will see. If the Democrat vote is split up, it will be among third party candidates. Trump is the great Democrat unifier. There are a few more independent Democratic voters who will support him, but the hard core people, who hate Israel and want socialism will not.

    If you go to the grocery store with any regularity, you will hear from many shoppers. Prices are up and the quantities in the packages are down. What used to be a five pound bag of Domino sugar is now four. Gasoline prices might be down, but the damage has been done in other areas, and that can’t help Biden and the Democrats.

    There are predictions of a triple headed pandemic, the flu, RSV and our old friend, Covid. I’m sure the Democrats would love to have another health emergency that would put them in charge. Old Joe could look like a savior.

    It's not just 401k, it's the market as a whole and depends where the money is invested. Also, for those who have been earning in excess of 5% interest on cash for a year, that does not make up for the increase in prices. In a DC sound bite, they will not give you the whole picture because it's not good.

    The same for folks who continued to buy into the stock market. Most had shares that were priced high and continued to dollar-cost-avg by buying more. Then, firms release 12-20% growth numbers for portfolios however that was on stocks bought/sold during the year. it does nothing for those who still hold stocks when bought at higher rates. You need to look long term and if you end up growing by over 10% for a long period then you do ok

    OOoooohh... I seeee....
    You, laughably, think your chart proves the better economies were a result of the Democrats being in charge.
    That's a post hoc fallacy, toots -- correlation does not prove causation.
