Shush, I want to see them kiss
He'd have to get me pretty drunk first. I'm not saying I wouldn't, but I'm more into the quiet types, you know?

I do put those ahead of social considerations I suppose, though not as justification for genuine mistreatment.
Right, that's after the fact when people clap back at you for being shitty to them.

I am pretty quiet actually.

I do not think I would qualify anything I’ve experienced here as tantamount to a “clap back.”

Oh so you're one of those people who only picks fights on the internet because you're not in danger of getting punched here. That's probably why we're not friends.

That's okay, we're only in the first act of our romcom. First you guys hate each other, and maybe one of you is seeing another guy, but soon there will be some wacky accident forcing you two to cooperate, and you'll start seeing the positive sides of each other, you'll gaze into his surprisingly brilliant blue eyes, and his lips will drift closer...

No. I just don’t care about offending online strangers as much as I do friends and family.

Honestly, I've got a bigger man-crush on you.

Only talking shit to people you're not accountable to is just proving me right about you.

Should I talk shit to people I am accountable to? Sounds boorish.
But more honestly, I try not to be an ass to people I like because I like them. That’s it. There’s no complexities here.

You could also make a conscious effort to avoid being an asshole. Kind of like how I looked back at this page and felt disappointed in myself for having indulged you so long. On that note, I'm stepping out of this conversation. The only direction it can go from here is in circles.

Surprise twist, a love triangle! The plot develops...
Sorry to cut the plot short. Romcoms are kind of formulaic anyway.

Ok. I won’t.

Lets for a second just stop with the policy. Let's instead look at who Biden surrounds himself with...

Pro fracking people


Insurance lobbyists


Pro-Iraq-War

On topic though, another look at Biden's walkbacks and lies.


We'll add to the list that his promise of a moratorium on deporting immigrants is now gone.
Highlights from your link you should take note of:
]The great problem with the United States today is twofold: First, the country is falling to pieces under President Trump, the most corrupt and incompetent president in American history. Second, as I have argued at length previously, the U.S. has been suffering severe problems for decades that Trump leveraged to squirm into power. Deindustrialization, the opioid epidemic, poverty, inequality, and so on — these are the soil in which racist demagoguery grows. Obama threw homeowners under the bus to save the banks, endorsed austerity instead of full employment, and Republicans reaped the political benefit in 2010, 2014, and 2016.
We see here a certain political trajectory that has ended in right-wing dictatorship on multiple occasions in other countries in the past. A country is being devoured from the inside by gangrenous capitalism. The status quo elites, who benefit from the rigged economy, are strong enough to throttle any reform effort from the democratic left. But they are not strong enough to fend off an anti-democratic attack from the right — or worse, they actively welcome it as the only way to avoid higher taxes and more regulation. As Dan O'Sullivan wrote after Trump was first elected, "This is all the result of kneecapping any attempt at reform of the system — the reform fails, the pain remains, only now it comes out sideways, through the only permissible path: the far right."
That said, it's unclear exactly who is in charge in this campaign. On Tuesday during the DNC, Biden facilitated a roundtable of ill people who described how the extant health-care system victimized them or how ObamaCare had allowed them to keep coverage, and promised he would help them. "Look, we're going to make sure we don't lose that ACA. We're going to provide a Medicare-like option as a public option," Biden said. "I'm going to protect you like I tried to protect my own family."
Good thing for you to keep in mind. I STILL say the " distancing" the campaign itself is doing is all in a move to get the votes in those conservative regions we have to flip to get the majority. It is EXACTLY what I would want and expect them to do so they can get their foot in the door tbh. Once they are in they don;t have to distance anymore and just pass whatever Dems get on their desk.

So, I think it's pretty conclusive now. Third party voting has a higher chance of pushing the country left. Because there is some possibility of Trump and Biden falling dead on election night, giving third place the win. Because it's clear Biden has 100% the intention of screwing over the left.

Campaign advisers selected to flip the conservative districts necessary to win =\= his advisors once he is in the White house. If you have to flip conservative districts to win, you want people who know how to do it helping you do so.

No, you're wrong.
