Trump is a dictator. So no.
I have no idea how anyone after the past month could even humor an opinion like this. After daily Trumpian propaganda, I'm all in on Biden.
Trump is a duly elected official of the US acting within his constitutional powers, as defined by the Supreme Court.
Saddam was a dictator. Un was a dictator. Applying the label to someone elected via electoral collage is wrong IMO.
So a president can't be a dictator, ever? Like he can't just say "Senate/House are done. Go home?" :dogespoiler (click to show/hide)Yes, I know of "Check and Balance," but let's be honest: That shit hasn't worked in a while.[close]

yeah this is a thread for nuance, not wild emotional statements
Thankfully most people who have witnessed the last 3 years have come to a different conclusion.
Vote Biden, Vote Rape™
Naaaaaaah.
I dislike Biden and think he for sure assaulted Tara Reade. But Trump is worst to me on every single level.
I dislike Biden enough to understand why someone would choose not to vote in general, but I wouldn't understand voting for Trump in protest.

Biden is a hypocrite. Trump accepts what he is. That's the difference.

:rofl when has he ever?

i'm uncomfortable with trump's skin
Nope lol. Dude's pretty obviously insecure about a lot of things and cries about it. Have you not seen the past few days of him going "I WAS BEING SARCASTIC I SWEAR?" and canceling media briefings during a pandemic cause he got made fun of?

Dude laughs and dunks on the media on the reg. Nintex enrages everyone here with every Trump tweet. I have more evidence Trump doesn't give a shit and is going along with things, than the hundreds of rageposts here on The Bore about every thing he does every hour of every day.

What is the definition of a successful troll? One that produces a response, or one that doesn't?

I mean, I'd agree with you back in 2016 in thinking he was a troll. But now? Do you honestly think he is a troll?
That doesn't answer my question, sweetie: Do you think he's a troll now a days? Yes/No. It's a simple answer.

real talk, it's when the troll isn't transparently in their own feelings
an offhand comment that gets people mad is a good troll, saying "the media has been very mean and unfair to me and it's a lie that I watch cable tv all day" is just kvetching
Ok, let's go with that back half.
Do you think his "injecting bleach" was a troll?

Cindi real talk, how much worse was your life in December 2019 compared to December 2015? :thinking
That doesn't answer my question, sweetie: Do you think he's a troll now a days? Yes/No. It's a simple answer.
I think he trolls when it's convenient, which is the definition of a troll. I don't think he's trolling all the time and I think he obviously retroactively labels some things as "trolls," such as the injecting bleach thing.
I would categorize most of Trump's "trolls" as this:
(https://i.imgur.com/6kGliTj.jpg)
Most of the time, he is indeed that stupid or just straight up grade school bully about things. Troll to me always implies self awareness, which I don't think that man has.

Biden is still worse tho

there was a lot of thinkpiece stuff around 2015/16 explaining trump through the lens of a wrestling heel
but the key difference is a heel wants to rile people up to their face while trump's always wanted the crowd's validation; he just talks shit about some other person or group who they hate and who's not there.
it's why he kept going to different sporting events until he found one where he wouldn't get booed, and cursed alabama's season in the process
tasty, is this just you being tipsy and riled up, or are you going to be talking about how immigrants take away from americans a couple months from now?
i need to know this to calibrate my response

Convince me Biden's response to COVID would have been any different? Assume I have zero faith in the system.
This is like a rhizzone/something awful windup post but with less effort :(

CONSIDERABLY.
Trump has enabled Republicans to go full on insane. The Lt Gov of my state said that the elderly should sacrifice their lives for the economy and the future of the young.
What reality are you living in? Do you not have a loved one over the age of 60? :crazy Currently red states are opening up partially because of record unemployment. Betsy DeVos' student loan crap has FUCKED me.
yes honey :-\
if nothing we do matters, then the only thing that matters is what we do.
And what I did was this thread.

I've only been living with my conservative parents in an extremely rural area for the last year, WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Wait I can't even visit the Montreal bathhouses? WTF

Wait, you're no longer in Boston?
Bitch, at least you have bathhouses to visit. Unlike some of us.
Yeah I've been a burnout loser since December 2018! 8)
tasty doesn't live in a swing state and he doesn't wield any political power
Going to bathhouses was the *opposite* of being a loser lol. But I only went like 2 times anyways. Just had an idea I'd go again eventually but guess that's another thing I won't get to do for a while. :(
Edit- I quoted the wrong thing in that post.
This is clearly another Shonda/glen account switcheroo type situation.
We see you, bitch :ufup

My dude, if all the states weren't shutdown, you could probably make the trip in-border. I know of at least one that isn't too far from Boston for you.
Of course, the one I know of is in New York (with multiple locations) so :yikes at the current situation.

Are you really surprised a white gay man stole from black trans culture... and made it better?

I dunno. Grindr is literally BEGGING me to open it ("FREE PREMIUM SEARCHES! WE'RE DOING A CONCERT WITH THIS LITERAL WHO THAT EVERY GAY SHOULD KNOW! OPEN ME! OPEN ME!!!!") to where I'm pretty sure Bathhouses might survive.
Is bathhouse code for gay orgy?
STOP TAKING MY GIMMICK, TASTY YOU FUCKER!!!!
:stop
Those of us in a state that is obviously going one way or the other actually have the luxury of being able to help boost a third party, 5% is totally possible. But do you wanna go for Vermin Supreme or whoever the Green dude is.tasty doesn't live in a swing state and he doesn't wield any political power
For the record, this legit pierced the veil and pissed me off, but then I realized I live in a system engineered specifically so that my vote doesn't matter anyways. So I ain't even mad. Form follows fiction.
I thought we were friends you fucking assholes.(https://media.giphy.com/media/14dXclYKbx2ONW/giphy.gif)

Grindr is the thing that fucking put bathhouses on their deathbeds in the first place lol. Oh honey, how much do you really know about slutty gay culture?
iirc the greens and socialists nominated the same dude (howie something) so just vote for him, its a twoferYeah, that guy.
Tasty. I just wanted to say I'm in the middle of listening to Hikaru Utada's Fantome after quite some time. This album is so beautiful :'(
That's true but people are already looking back fondly on W. Two Presidents removed people will retroactively look back fondly on this evil fucktard and you all know it.
As a card carrying child of allah it's impossible for me not to hate George W. Bush the most.
The entire world has caught brain worms from this dude.the levels to this post :jbwow

Honestly the most "undoable" evil the GOP has done in the last 10 years was denying Merrick Garland, and that was before Trump too!

I held off hoping for some sort of English companion but eventually caved and I'm so glad I did. Fantôme is her strongest work to-date, and if you know me you know I wouldn't apply that lightly. That said, I'm speaking purely in terms of albums -- for some reason, Don't Think Twice has grabbed ahold of me in a way few other singles have ever managed.
George W. Bush at 5% triggers me.
I'm probably never going to stop badmouthing that dude. I'm going to be the equivalent of the old guy in the barbershop stanning for Oscar Robertson as the greatest of all time cause that's who he grew up with.
Bush was awful, and we're still suffering from his 'war on terror', but you felt that deep down, he thought he was doing the right thing and he had some moral code to follow. Trump has none of that, he's just an extreme narcissist.
Reagan is still in my mind the worst Republican of the last 50+ years, due to the anti-government attitude, trickle down economics and neoliberalism that fucked the middle class and working class still to this day. Trump is Reaganomics and boomer greed's final form.
I don't hate Reagan. I don't think he was one of the greats but considering everything that could have happened during his terms, I think he held the country together better than most people could have, and racked up several objective "wins" that anybody other than partisans could respect.

":yuck" all you want like a kindergartener but I have yet to see counterpoints :trumps
I don't have a strong disdain for dubya, but that's because I chalk up the various atrocities Americans keep unleashing on the world as being the fault of Americans as a whole and see trying to pin it to one guy as a sort of patsie an attempt to exonerate your diseased souls
my hot take is that from a progressive/liberal/socdem perspective...
ronald reagan was bad

A strong respect for Reagan was instilled in me from a very young age, along with my Patriotism and respect for certain traditions and the Flag :bolo
Those will remain no matter how gay or liberal I am :bolo
But that's the very reason I'd rather stay and die in this country trying to affect change than emigrating elsewhere :bolo
":yuck" all you want like a kindergartener but I have yet to see counterpoints :trumpsbreh...aren’t you gay???
Actually I might hate Reagan. More so by his association with his cunt AIDS-denying wife. But he was obviously caught up in that too so fuck em both.ah, there it is :whew

One of the most batshit things is that opinion polls in the 80's and early 90's that were gauging sentiment towards gay people wouldn't ask about gay marriage (cause the overton window hadn't gotten to that point), but would ask people if they thought the AIDS epidemic had been sent by God to punish gay people.
I think "Yes" topped out at ~40%.
Also a majority of white people in America didn't approve of interracial marriage until the 1990's.
Yes. I was gonna bring this one up. Blew my mind when I saw those polls. In my head I would have figured the US would have been way past that by the early 90s. I mean growing up I never once thought of interracial couples as "oh my. Those two are a little out there doing that, no?" It's even more wild now cause nobody gives a damn whatsoever for the most part. I mean sure one of my Detroit buddy's friend was kicked out of the house because he was dating a non-Muslim girl (young adult age at the time) . So yes, really heinous stuff still happens. But I mean in the greater scheme of things nobody is visibly shocked if they see interracial couples up and about.

Ditto. I grew up in a very liberal, very racially diverse enclave and it took a while to wrap my head around it.
After I found out I asked my friend when he thought that change in attitudes would have happened, smugly thinking I was going to blow his mind with that piece of trivia. Instead he guessed right and I got to be shocked a second time that he would have gotten it right.
He must have read my facial reaction cause he asked if he was way off by guessing the 90's and I said no, you got it right, I just don't know what the fuck country I've been living in all these years. :existential
I'm thinking a little more now. And there is still that ugly, really fucking ugly concept of "those N-words are taking our [Capital H hwite] women" that is there to some degree for those who are either overt or covert racist.
