Please consider how this falls on the ears of our community. Did she lie

Some have said Biden is putting politeness over policy.
In effect, he is saying that Pence’s record doesn’t matter.

PS in many circles Pence is an Ahole and his history reinforces that view are you suggesting Pence isn't as far right and Sanders is left

or do honestly think the Republican party hasn't moved
the gop hasn’t moved much. can you provide specific examples of changed policy beliefs within the last 15 years? the dnc thinks
men can use whatever bathroom they choose, that late term abortion is a cause for celebration, that you cannot ever say anything positive about trump
no matter what he does, and that we should tear down every building in the nation and rebuild
with green energy.

do you think it’s impossible to oppose gay marriage, and still
be a decent guy?

i actually think the gop should
flip on gay marriage. but i know a huge number of very decent people
who oppose gay marriage, despite what a bigoted, activist actress happens to believe. Mother theresa wasn’t a decent person?

on what specific policies, had the GOP changed course? What major changes have they undergone?

sanctity of life
individual responsibility
small federal government
individual liberty
strong national defense
charity for those in need
power of the free market to lift people out of poverty
fiscal responsibility ( the debt is making that a weaker and weaker claim)

there are jerks in the gop, liars, and hypocrites. but that’s still the policy platform.

look at bill clinton. they’d hate his policies today. kicking deadbeats off welfare, and telling them
to go back to work? slashing taxes on capital gains? balancing the budget? who
among democrats is calling for a return to these things?
