I don't see how Biden is going to help anything. I don't think Trump will fix anything either. He'll probably make things worse, but I'm worried about Biden taking wokeness too far. I feel like we are on a path to have thought crimes soon, you won't be able to have an opinion unless it's the "right one"

Biden's going to listen to medical professionals and help us get Covid under control. For that alone it's worth voting for him. He's also likely going to get immigrant kids out of cages, stop banning people from random countries that happen to have Muslim populations, and generally improve our standing internationally. I doubt Biden is very woke, and the only thing that he'd probably affect in terms of trans rights would be choosing Supreme Court justices, which is much more crucial in terms of how it will affect abortion rights than anything else at this point.

Ok, I know it's hard to break the programming but I need to go be open minded that much like the trans debate, you're only being told one side by the media. Lemme preface all of this by saying I'm not a trump fan. Just a fan of the truth.

  1. On cages: Obama started the "cage" program. The media circulated a pic from 2014 to use against Trump as an example of kids in cages.

  1. On covid: it is under control. This is the latest CDC data on deaths in the entire country. We are chronologically speaking at the bottom row now.

Much like the trans narrative, there is some agenda here that's not borne out by facts.

  1. Banning people from Muslim countries? Trump only used the list made specifically by Obama for this.

If you start to realize that everything is like the trans narrative, that you're told to think a certain way and it all crumbles when you look into it, you'll see why I feel politically homeless. The knee jerk reaction is to say that well, Trump is worse. I'm actually not sure that's true in even half of the issues if you really look at them. They are all bad.

Agree, and the idea that Joe Biden can singlehandedly stop coronavirus at this point is wishful thinking at best. Most people don't want to be locked down, period, and I think that goes beyond right vs. left. In fact, a Democrat might make things worse by enacting more draconian national lockdowns that would just lead to a full out rebellion.
