What leaders do in moderation their followers do in excess.

There was a time when no one would’ve gotten away with saying these things. Now we debate if it was a serious or hyperbole depending on if you like the person saying it.

I think it was hyperbole. Just like it’s hyperbole when Trump does it. Their sole goal is to fire up their bases which forces the other side to go even more extreme. Then we continue kicking the pendulum back and forth and going farther each way each time.

I also don’t like Pelosi either so there’s that too.

My preference would be "none of the above." I personally detest Trump, but I think his policy decisions have been much better than Hillaries and/or Biden's. Purple has mentioned that he likes that Trump "fights back." In a way, so do I... but not in the style that he does.

I believe in giving credit when credit is due. Trump has not be a complete failure, and I liked his Court nominations.

yeah thats it in the end. i don't like trump and he's done a bit of stupid stuff but he's done some good and alternatively, i consider biden to be a completely nonviable candidate. I'm likely looking to 3rd party voting.

yeah i live in IL so i feel i can afford to vote 3rd party.

trump people tell me a 3rd party vote is a vote for biden
and biden people tell me a 3rd party vote is a vote for trump
seems to me that means it evens out and i'll be able to sleep just fine.

Let me very clear, the actions of many can be solved quickly.
Don't be the "victim" of words and refuse to burn down cities and beat the heck out of a different person of thought.
We are all responsible for our own actions PERIOD.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities is not freedom, it is adolescence.

Until “3rd Parties” start winning House Senate and Governor races they are a complete joke

You're a joke!

I voted 3rd party 4 years ago but I keep going back and forth on it. I probably won't decide until right before I put my ballot in the evil mailbox 😁

3rd Party can’t win. 3rd Party could not accomplish anything even if they did because they have no power base once the get to the WH.

Being in a battleground state changes my approach some this year. If I were still in Tennessee, I'd do some type of protest vote and be done with it because it's going red no matter what. Since I'm in North Carolina, I'm torn.

Which is why, in light of the political leanings of the B1G presidents, it will shock me if they do.
