Can you put this in less symbolic ways? What exactly is bad about Biden (no agism)?
Age is not an issue. Health and cognitive function, those are fair game. But neither of those is why I compare his
political impact, as head of the executive branch, to a brain-eating amoeba. My comparison derives from an examination of his record and agenda against the Organic Laws of our nation. As one example, his agenda for gun control is an affront to our Organic Laws and, if it finds unrestrained expression, will contribute to the erosion of our rights as human beings and citizens—like a brain-eating amoeba...destroying the tissues by which the body is controlled, and through which judgments are made. Again, I'm looking at his
political impact on the legal fabric of our society, as head of the executive branch, not at him as a person.
And more importantly, who do you want to see as the nominee?
I haven't seen a candidate in the pool yet that I "want" to be president.
I don't know. It's possible. What I don't understand about so amny citizens is why they can't see the danger in Trump, and why would they see the negative outcomes of his actions if president again? How much damage would Trump have to do before they realized they made a mistake? For some Trump voters, and Jan 6 rioters, they have learned that Trump is a threat to America. Jenna Ellis, former Trump attorney and indicted in Georgia, says Trump is a threat and won't vote for him. Cassidy Hutchinson, former Mark Meadow's aid, says Trump is dangerous and won't support him. Yet someone is still supporting Trump among the public. My guess is that they are being heavily influenced by right wing disinformation. How can democracy survive when so many citizens are disinformed? Let's note that they deliberately chose to be disinformed, and once convinced of disinformation they will feed that nned for more.
I know a lot of people who voted for Trump. I have never judged that their interest in him was motivated by misinformation. Nor would I consider them to be any less informed than those of any other political faction. That, of course, bears as well on the question of choosing to be misinformed; if we are going to blanket them with such a charge, we're going to blanket every other party similarly. For I don't observe much objectivity in the members of the various political parties in the information they consume, at least if the sources people talk about are any indication of the sources they're using. To choose to listen to only what one wants to hear is to choose to be misinformed, and it is my observation that those who yoke themselves to the party system are, to some degree, detrimentally selective in both the information they consume and the conclusions they draw.
Looking again only at those I know who favor Trump, from what I can tell he represents to them a damming, if you will, of the loss of rights they see flowing from the misuse of government, and of the flow of corrupting elements into government. Do I believe that he is everything they see in him? No, I don't. Do I believe he is a "threat to America"? No. That idea in groupthink is dangerous, though. That I believe.
That's a claim, what is the evidence and argument?
No, it's not a claim; it's a speculation born of observation and analysis. I don't offer "evidence" for the speculation is mine alone.
What threat does Biden pose to the future of the USA? Has he tried to manipulate the DOJ as Trump did? No. Has he exploited supporters to do crimes for him? No. Is he lying about public health and what expert advisors say? No. Ne is an experienced public servant who has an interest in helping the USA in a braid way. Look at his infrastructure policy that has helped create jobs and make businesses more efficient. Look at his anti0inflation policy that has shown the USA to have the lower inflation rates than Europe and other nations. Look how he is supporting unions when republicans have been hostile to workers and pro-corporation. Look how Biden has worked to help students with massive debt, and advocate for the child tax credits while republicans have cut it.
So expalin what would be fatal about Biden getting a second term.
Lots in there. But let's not blow things up here. I have no allegiance to any party or person, so my reasons for supporting these politicians, or not, stem from my comparing their expressed commitments and actions against the laws of the country. I don't agree at all, for example, that President Biden is acting rightly—if the law is our standard—when he works through government purse to forgive persons of their student debt. Our founding law does not grant government authority to shield students from the payment of debts they incur. So President Biden's efforts constitute a serious affront to the law and to our society. Such abuses of the law foster classism and foment social discord. That, to me, is "dangerous."
I see President Biden working in such ways in many areas of our society. If unchecked, they most certainly could prove "fatal" to our society. But I would stop short of laying all of that on President Biden alone. He represents just another corrupt cog in the sick political machine that has been dismantling the structure protecting our rights for years. Where he contributes to the erosion, I justly fault him and won't support him. Where he shores up the protections of our rights, I justly credit him and support him. Just like I do with every representative.
