11. "Has zero self control and it contributed to his being unre-electable"

Obiously referred to TRUMP. My OP in no way implied that Biden is unrelectable, which I don't think is the case.

Honestly, I think people jumping on attempts at reasonable discussion in here is sometimes a flaw with this site. I raised what I thought was a reasonable question in an articulate way. If people were exposed to Trump's daily shitstream, would Biden and the Democrats be tracking higher in the polls right now?

I guess that's unknowable, but it was a thought that occurred to me. It's hard to believe that the opposition efforts to diminish Biden wouldn't have less traction if for comparison, there was the daily bombardment of Trump's inanities.

Although I was overjoyed to have him removed from the scene, he's able to appear a bit more respectable when he's in the background. It might be better to allow him the rope to repeatedly hang himself, as he did previously.

Just a fucking little to soon after 10 fucking months to determine Biden fucking "unelectable" ... marble falls Nov 2021 #2

? I don't see that in the OP. lagomorph777 Nov 2021 #4

Maybe a pronoun confusion makes this clumsy ... marble falls Nov 2021 #7

I see what you mean - when you leave off the headline, it reads quite differently. lagomorph777 Nov 2021 #10

No, because in MAGAt word being hateful and absurd isn't a bug, it's a feature. Ocelot II Nov 2021 #3

Yes, in MAGAT world, but where did that get him in the overall polls as time went on AdamGG Nov 2021 #12

Absurd. Do you miss Trmupy's ramblings? Twitter has every right to throw the asshole out. FSogol Nov 2021 #5

No. Channel the MAGAts into tRump's app and then let it collapse like the other RW media Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2021 #6

Anything that hinders his lying campaign is a plus. Xavier Breath Nov 2021 #17

No. His Tweets radicalize his followers, but Democrats do need a PR strategy. Doodley Nov 2021 #18

I don't think so, because Trump has this way of garnering attention ismnotwasm Nov 2021 #19

I certainly agree that the banning was deserved and that his lie firehose was bad... AdamGG Nov 2021 #21
