That's my view. As Dad said when somebody asked him why he'd stopped voting, there's none of them worth the shoe leather. It was common for people to walk to the polling station in those days, and postal voting was a rare thing.
I don't vote for any political a***holes party, either.
Hang on?
Could that mean I am your father?
Son!
Give me a hug!

The only real hope for the U.S. is a massive grassroots movement behind a third-party.
Agreed on the need for a massive grassroots movement, but I don't think a third party is the answer.
We just need more a lot more successful elections of progressive Democrats like AOC, in Congress, in state legislatures, and various local offices. Once there are enough progressive Democrats elected to Congress and various local offices, it will then become feasible to elect one as President as well -- at least if we don't have a right wing coup.
But electing enough progressives to political office will be possible only if there is a massive, well-organized grassroots progressive movement independent of any political party apparatus.
AOC is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she is young.
Giver her another 10 years of life experience.
But will the country as we know it still be here? When society collapses, and it will soon, those crazy preppers will seem sane!
It's coming, baby! The whole thing is coming down! Get ready!
Alright, that may have been one too many hits.
I really don't care anymore, as long as armageddon happens *after* I die a natural death.
Frack life.
It was a bad move to have a random/blind system of development as a result of the evolutionary process.
Alrighty, then. Carry on.
I "carry on" all the time.
Just ask anyone.

I don't know about ya'll, but I was seriously impressed at how hard Biden and the Dems fought for all the people who face eviction. I have such a warm and fuzzy feeling about them now.
The hardcore, on the left, will ignore your comment.
Trust me, I know from experience.
Some are even oblivious to my pink signature contribution.

I saw a snippet from that town hall with Don Lemon. Biden claimed that you won't get Covid if you are vaccinated. Certainly he will be taken off off all social media for spreading medical disinformation.
The man is clearly in intellectual decline.
Anyone who can't see it is being hyperpartisan.
But on the bright side, he is not Trump.

Yes, I’d he tried to sniff my hair I’d slap the pee water out of him.
A friend tried to make excuses for him, like,“ He’s an older man, that’s wasn’t a big deal, it’s what they did back then.”
Uh, no, just no.It’s not.
I only voted for him because the alternative was Trump.
It is obvious what he was doing was harmless.
And, yes, it was a different time when he grew up.
Call it a hangover from older times.
I defended Uncle Joe for these sorts of faux pas, right from the beginning.
It is a very autistic thing to do, after all, not suggesting he is on the spectrum.
I think you as an aspie, not appreciating this is quite ironic, no offence intended.

Biden was not Trump and thought of as the Democrat with the best chance of beating Trump. It had nothing to do with agreeing with or liking Biden.
Total agreement.
I have said many times that the Democratic win was a protest against Trump, the way the Republican win was against Clinton beforehand.

That’s just an excuse for bad manners.
None of the older men in my family went around hair sniffing.
I also have no desire to sniff hair or to grope.Why on earth would I want to?
I don’t like touching people and for sure don’t want to smell them.That’s just nasty.

Biden is doing great. I would prefer faster action on immigration but the progress there has been very promising. He’s not Hillary but he’s fundamentally a good President.

Yeah, we got rid of Trump. Now we're stuck with the same neoliberal politicians that led to Trump's rise to power.
But I guess we're supposed to be grateful. At least we don't have a president with an icky personality like the last one.
Trump wouldn't have done anything either though. Trump still basically operated as a neo-liberal so people just picked the less crazy neo-liberal.
“Neoliberalism is when I don’t like things, and the less I like it the more neoliberal it is.”
This isn’t coherent politics. Neither Trump nor Biden is a neoliberal. Trump is a right-wing nativist populist (about as far from a neoliberal as you can get), Biden is an old school union social democrat with protectionist tendencies, again pretty far from a neoliberal.

Let us agree to disagree.

Don't getting why someone would behave a certain way doesn't automatically mean they have dirty intentions.
It seems more like boundary issues than pursuit of sexual gratification. It doesn't make it less creepy, it's just a different type of creepy.
Doesn’t matter if it’s sexual or just a boundary issue.I wouldn’t like it and I darn sure would get upset if some man or woman started sniffing on one of my kids.
Many autistic people have boundary issues.

Same with the videos of him touching young girls or smelling their hair, during public events. That was creepy as hell. It seems that wasn't taken seriously, or else it just got ignored like everything else. Heaven help him if that had been my daughter in any of the videos.
To my knowledge there have been no real updates like legal action or official complaints, but you might remember this incident:
Of all of them, this was the one that looked least suspicious to me, certainly compared to the one where he presses a little girl's hand into his junk and you can see the shock on her face. But ... apparently this girl herself confirmed the rumours, then quickly disappeared from the internet as so many tend to do in this situation. She's probably in Guantánamo Bay right now.
