Look clearly you’re deep in the trump dive so I’m just going to let you believe what you want. But if you think someone who calls black people thugs and said the white supremacists in Charlottesville we’re good people is a good candidate look around at your fellow trump supporters who came to MY CITY DC this weekend with nazi flags Trump flags and white supremacy flags this weekend for a trump rally and then ask yourself who you’re so adamant to protect.

On your assumption that Trump voters are in favor of white supremacy, i'd say of course there are unsavory people on both sides of the political spectrum. I don't think all democrats support violence against cops, even though at protests and rallies people scream burn the pigs. those people are obviously the extremes of the political and social groups. I think you can see the difference in how there are crazy groups of people on both sides of the isle, but most individuals are somewhere in the middle.

And if you are not willing to look at direct evidence to the contrary of your feelings on a candidate(both Joe Biden and Trump) then i guess we are at a moot point.

Anyhow have a nice day and it's been nice talking.

You don’t even see how your extreme party loyalty affects your ability to see how trump has been harmful to the US. He doesn’t believe in climate change and violence against minorities has gone up in the last four years. But whatever right?

How am I loyal to a party when I'm considering voting for Tulsi Gabbard in 2024. She is a democratic congress woman from Hawaii

Can you provide with the statement by trump that we should be violent to minorities? I don't remember hearing that. What did he do that promotes violence against minorities?

As a minority myself I would like to know if I'm in danger from getting hurt by trump supporters so please send me a link.

Climate change is a balancing act of making progress for change and not stifling the economy. Bidens plan is not much better than what is in place now, in my opinion.

Some of the campaign promises I can remember, but I can't link it since the Buliden campaign site took them down.

Tearing up perfectly usable buildings, and making new green buildings. Is that really better for the environment? This is massive undertaking for very limited returns. I get making all new buildings as efficient as possible, but to destroy something that was built 3 years ago seems wasteful to me.

To get rid of air travel in ten years? Is that economically viable for a country as massive as america to use railway travel, is it really much better to cut through forests and build railways? Maybe in city centers or the densely populated areas of the east coastbut in the south west and middle America it really doesn't make much sense.

Electric cars in ten years[edit: now that I think about it I think it was 2035 or 2050]. What powers electric cars? Electrical plants. How do we get that energy? - coal - Fossil fuels - Biomass( buring trees, that's popular in germany, they actually buy our dead wood and ship it to Germany. Is that efficient?) - hydro electric power ( we are currently getting rid of dams to protect salmon runs, when they could install a system to allow salmon to get up the river) - solar( I wish it was more effective but solar is not as productive as everyone had hoped for). - Wind (also very intermittent and needs a coal plant for keeping the grid alive) - natural gas (fracking I'm not sure where Biden stands on this he said yes one night no on debate night and walked it back the next day)

California has had rolling blackouts, from their solar energy grid, it is hard to keep up with demand for energy so they switch on the coal buring plants to supplement( minute 28-30). Honestly it depresses me a little since, i really had hoped that solar would be a reliable renewable. Technology has not gotten there yet, and the silica sand cells have a limit to how efficient they are and can be.

I have hopes that nuclear energy might come back into favorable view. Thorium reactors that have a molten salt reactor could be an alternative to uranium based reactors that can be problematic. Supposedly the reactivate waste is not as numerous and it's less reactive than a normal uranium realtor. I don't think the biden plans included his but I could be wrong. I tried to look at the site but they took down the information. -_-

I do want renewable energy to work, I think we should never give up on it, but it doesn't look like we have gotten there yet. To change over all our systems before we can truly rely on them seems a bit hasty.

P.S. Oh and by the way, you don't let me believe anything, this is america we still have freedom of thought and speech. You have the freedom to talk to me and change my mind just as i do to you.

Oh and I forget to link this article for you again since you didn't see it in my long response above about Charlottesville. About that good people on both sides statement.
