    It sure would be nice to be able to vote for candidates based on their ideas and positions, but that isn’t the world we live in any more. Instead it’ll probably be Biden or Trump, and that isn’t any decision at all. Trump isn’t fit to be president, he’s a narcissistic liar, and only cares about himself. I very much don’t support what Israel did in response, so many innocent people have died and it’s absolutely awful. But do you think Trump would have been pro Palestine? Not supported Israel?

    Polls are notoriously inaccurate, and anyone banging the drum of “POLLS SHOW BIDEN IS GOING TO LOSE” is trying to push that idea in the hopes less people get out to vote for that candidate. The type of wording Trump has been using is insanely inflammatory and will cost lives, this man has no further business in any elected office. Below is something Trump said on Veteran’s Day:

    “In honor of our great veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. Lie, steal, and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American dream,” he wrote.

    “The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within. Despite the hatred and anger of the radical left lunatics who want to destroy our country, we will make America great again!”

      Totally agree - this kind of messaging is pushing an agenda, and I’m not looking forward to seeing this ramp up more and more until the election.
