    Trump lickspittles cannot deal with so many of the Trump administration's senior office holders, his "best people" who observed him closely, being vehemently opposed to his inflicting himself on the nation again. So many are speaking out based upon their unique, intimate experience.

    That was in a civil court and damages were awarded. That is a long way from being a criminal trial where he was convicted of committing a felony.

    Joe Biden is a bad person. Why would anyone vote for him? Joe put kids in cages, tortured them by flowing them through the human trafficking pipelines into this country, submitting women and girls into sex trafficking, flowing illegal drugs that are killing and torturing the youth of our nation. Your notion of bad seems remarkably like projecting of your own onto others to smear them.

    I did. Donald Trump is not a “candidate”, he is the literal personification of a “cult of personality”. For 90% of Joe Bidens voters, Joe Biden is a candidate from their party, and who represents their ideological positions. But also remember, that in a binary choice election, this is what we get, hence the dems votes will go to Joe

    Because Biden is also a bad person, and so people are going to choose one or the other bad person based upon policy differences, party loyalty, or the “least bad” in their judgment.

    Simple as that.

    Ah! Projection, of course!

    Problem is that while it's abundantly clear that Trump is a bad person and there is no lack of evidence, Biden projects an image of being a bit clumsy but an overall honest fella. If Hillary had been running, maybe projecting might have worked. But they just don't have the right person to project on.

    Prove only race and gender where the main qualifications?

    ...
    Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement, President Biden has conducted a rigorous process to identify his replacement. President Biden sought a candidate with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and unwavering dedication to the rule of law. And the President sought an individual who is committed to equal justice under the law and who understands the profound impact that the Supreme Court’s decisions have on the lives of the American people.

    ...
    And try not to use fake sources like fox lies to support your claim about race and gender.

    LOL. I can see that from all the data you've share to support your claim.

    when she was picked, the evidence was piled mountains high. Her race and gender were her main "qualifications".

    so why was she picked? your dear leader promised to pick a black female-that alone eliminated probably the top 50 leftist jurists in the country

    Doesn't mean she wasn't qualified.
    The only way a system of people can work for all, is for that group of people to be diverse like the people they rule/represent.
    That's a huge qualification.

    Look at how bad the country is. Look at Biden's high disapproval numbers. Look at the fact that about 70% of Americans say the country is going in the wrong direction. If you think on it, the answer may come to you. If not, then you will never know the real reason.

    qualification can mean two things

    1) able to to the job
    2) best available for the job

    example, I am the Davis Cup captain charged with playing say Serbia in a tie. Their number one is the world #1 in tennis. Now technically anyone with a pro ranking is "qualified to play" for the USA but the most qualified are the three men with the highest rankings.

    Second example. Yale law school turns down 95 out of every 100 applicants. At least a third of those turned down can do the work at yale law and graduate. But a 3.75 GPA from Amherst with a top 2% LSAT score is less qualified than a guy who graduates with a 3.9 GPA and a top one percent LSAT from say Williams college or Cornell University.

    Jackson had a law degree from a top school. She clerked for a supreme court justice. she met the objective qualifications. but she wasn't anywhere near a top legal scholar.

    It really speaks volumes when so many people who were part of his inner circle, will no longer back him You just don't see that with Biden.

    She is able to do the job.
    She is qualified for the job.
    Congress even approved her.

    that completely ignores the fact that she was no where near the most qualified. Biden made sure of that with his limitations
