When the naysayers backtrack on a President Biden

administration, it will be interesting.. there are some that are working 24/7 to kneecap the Biden run.. I have held back from posting the stuff out there on their candidate of choice.because it would be so hard to backtrack if their choice won.. and then go out and say I would work for them after smearing them.. so I leave that alone.. but if VP Biden does get the nod.. it will be difficult if a person keeps winding themselves up to disparage Joe Biden so much..(this has nothing to do with policy, but personal attacks on Biden).. to then turn around and go yeah.. thats my guy..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

And the people here pushing the Biden infirm meme here are mostly Sanders supporters. They give as good as they get. There are no innocents.

I did not like Hillary so after the primaries I tried (not always successful) to not fight about it. I put the people I wanted to fight with on ignore to help me get through it without fighting with them.

This is just the way it works. Those dead set against the person who wins may not backtrack at all. They may go away or go silent or maybe they end up being OK with the choice. This just seems to be getting worse because we have the Internet and forums and things are iffy at best for this country the way our constitution and laws have been abused and the planet is on full tilt to the bad and everyone is just crazy and for all the best reasons.

Fight for your candidate but if it gets too bad ignore the person or people. You can be friends later maybe. That makes it much easier to let these things go.

It is OK to post what you think about all the candidates. I do not care for the "no bashing" argument because nobody can define bashing. This is the only time we have to move our party so move your party where you want it to be and if you have it in you go ahead and fight about it. THIS is the only time we can do it. I love Bernie Sanders and would be very amused to see what would happen here if he won. I am not supporting him yet, nor am I supporting anyone yet. Too many choices and we need smaller debates so we can actually hear from those who will be closer to the actual run for the candidacy.

PS I don't like Joe. EDIT I did not mean to really post this yet and was not sure I was going to but I WAS getting ready to add that Joe has my vote if he gets through and I have so far refrained from saying much by staying out of this forum most of the time. Good luck, fight now and make up later.

One they have chosen. It would be so easy for posters to just say, this is my opinion. If it’s fact then provide some evidence of such.

Other kinds of bashing... using the word hate, other awful slurs or innuendos associated with a candidate, making fun of
