    I've "debated" with you enough to know how that will shake out i.e. any effort I put in will be repaid with confused antagonism. Hard pass.

      Ironic, coming from Mr Antagonist himself.

        Are you sure you know what irony is?

        • The OP asked what the Dems have to offer, and what they are offering to fight for was listed. If you have a problem with some or all of them, then you do the explaining as to why you have a problem with them. Then you can probably have the discussion you seem to want to have.

              Rational disgust would better define it.

                Well, yeah, I'm disgusted with a whole lot of what Trump says, but it is not "all-consuming", which is what my brudder actually said.

                Some of us can post a whole lot of things and start threads that don't focus on Trump, or derail threads with all-consuming hatred of Trump.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Well, it is pretty much all consuming for me, rational, and all consuming. I happen to care very much about democracy and holding on to it.

                    I'll let you be you but I just don't understand how you can stop at "disgust" towards someone who makes a mockery of your faith on the world stage and likely accelerates its demise in this country.

                      You, being an antagonist than accusing others of doing what you frequently do?

                        They are slogans Jimmy. What do you mean by them and would you be shocked to discover your opponents agree, but disagree on how to go about it?

                          You obviously have no idea what a slogan is either. They are agenda goals, lilpix. How they intend to achieve those goals is another question.

                            I think we're getting somewhere now.

                            Why don't you pick one of these which you believe is also happening under the Trump administration and we can compare Biden's proposals with what Trump has put into practice?
