liberals and math

Biden (back before he was senile, so that's no excuse) bragged about graduating "in the top half" of his law school class. His rank was 76th out of 85. Math has ever been a strong suit for liberals, not when it comes to economic policy.

A vulgar, senile, lying, plagiarizing, racist ("poor people are just as smart as white people") man, with several sexual misconduct accusations against him. (I'm old enough to remember when these female accusers weren't just to be heard, but to be believed).

Now, since MANY here overlook Trumps accomplishments to to say his mnay character flaws mean he's unfit for POTUS, can we assume that none of you are voting for Biden? Or, as is much more likely the case, are your demands for ethical begavior, quite selective, based on policics? Have fun with that.

Here's an idea...since both candidates are weasels, how about we talk for a few moments, about the policies each endorses, and discuss which is more likely to improve the country?

And it was hilarious.

Seeing as how this was my approach that delivered Trump, it is hard to criticize. Let the chips fall where they may. You don’t have to explain your vote to anyone.👌

"Jim i am voting for biden for the same reasons you voted for Trump..

EXACTLY!!! Exactly, exactly, exactly!!!

Like me, you recognize your candidate's moral lapses. Like me, you aren't endorsing your candidate's moral decisions, you are voting for him because you like his policies, and because you don't want the other person to win. That's what you just said.

Your reasons for voting for Biden, are identical to my reasons voting for Trump. You admitted that Biden's moral compass has nothing to do with why you are voting for him.

Here's the next logical conclusion that you can't quite get to:

If Biden's character isn't an issue, then neither is Trumps. So let's talk about the effect of policy, because that's what matters to both you and me. But the LAST thing liberals want to talk about, is the honest effect of Trumps policies. Because his policies have been beneficial. So they obsess over his moral character, which you yourself just said isn't a factor in voting. So let's drop it!

Your flaw here, is that you are assuming that what's good for the left (in this case, voting for a candidate whose policies you like, regardless of his personal character), is also fair game for the right. But the lefties only think their side can do this without an issue. When we vote for a flawed person whose policies we like, in their minds, that means we are endorsing the way he lives his personal life.

That's not what it means when they do it, only when we do it.
