In reply to the discussion: Biden says Trump is America's first 'racist' president [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)54. Why contribute to the negativity? Why keep expressing doubts and misgivings?
You're awfully presumtuous to tell me what I "know perfectly well."
Please don't call me names. I haven't called you names. Why do you feel entitled to do that to me?
All I can tell you is this: It's not a good idea to play games with me. I really have very little patience for the "who meee?" act with wide-eyes and raised-eyebrows.
I know of no such "ongoing chorus." I have not seen the other threads you are talking about.
So, if you haven't seen it, therefore it must not exist, eh? (Fortunately, a great many of those posts seldom last for very long.)
and having what I thought to be a valid perspective.
I fail to understand why anyone would think that their "valid perspective" and negativity is more important than defeating Trump. We saw what happened last time. Why continue to cling to such things?
We're all adults here, and it really shouldn't take THAT long to get over it. There's really no need for anyone to be so emotionally invested in any one candidate.
Why contribute to the negativity? Why keep expressing doubts and misgivings? Why keep seeking comfort and solace and validation? These are legitimate questions.

That's the biggest hole in my record collection. I never owned a copy of "Pet Sounds."

Joe misspoke. The truth that MF45 is America's most racist president in 100 years needs to be told.

It's probably the same as you would have felt if some of the other candidates had won.

I think that now is the time for mature adults to set aside their hurt feelings.

I didn't start the thread. Others complained about Biden's sloppy point here...

Exactly. I am sure he is referring to recent presidents, but regardless, the point is he is calling
