I think it all depends on what comes out between now and the election. Also how Covid and civil unrest goes and if that'll get much worse.
In August, his approval rating was at 42%. Not very high. If he wins again, I think the civil unrest will get worse... perhaps civil war? It is already bad enough with all of the protests.
So I have family and friends on both sides of the political spectrum and it's been interesting to hear their perspectives.
Yes, it is definitely worth noting that not all Republicans are far-right... and not all Dems are super liberal. My husband and I vote conservative, we are what you just called moderate, socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. I wouldn't tell many of my friends that though as A LOT of them are extremely liberal...in my opinion, too far left. In their mind, anyone that would vote "Tory" is evil. Utter nonsense.
I'm with you and your husband. I am generally socially liberal (supportive of minorities, skilled immigration, gay marriage, better access to and cheaper healthcare) but I am mixed on things like defunding the police, affirmative action, illegal immigration, etc. and I can see people similar to us being swayed both ways this election.
In my opinion a fairly decent bloke with the best of intentions for the country. Least he doesn’t sniff kids hair - always a bonus in my book!
im interested that people see Biden as left-leaning as he’s a really quite conservative, uncontroversial politician who has previously appealed to both sides. His voting record has been unremarkable and I believe in any other time except 2020 he would be seen as a ”safe” option by republicans and Centrist/right leaning democrats alike.
Yeah, so much better than grabbing women by the pussy!
Have you got photographic evidence of this or you just going off a comment he made?!
Donald Trump is on camera saying this. Are you suggesting he is lying...about himself?
No I’m just suggesting that we all make comments, doesn’t necessarily mean they are true. How many times have you heard someone say “go grab them by the balls”? It doesn’t mean you actually go and grab someone by the balls.
but he didn’t say it as a turn of phrase. He used specific examples of how he uses his power to sexually touch women without their consent. He’s really quite specific. I’m curious as to why you’d suggest he didn’t mean what he said.
Have you got a link to the footage?
It’ll be on most major news websites, google will take you straight to it.
I think Biden himself may have a fairly conservative, uncontroversial voting record but it seems like the Democratic party as a whole has shifted quite a bit to the left these days and that's what's gonna spook some people. A lot of politics is perception rather than reality.
I don't disagree with your comment and this may be an unpopular opinion, but creepy comments aside, I don't believe there was/is any improper conduct between Ivanka and her father and it's pretty gross that some of the media tries to paint this narrative. Like most of the controversial things he says, it may be inappropriate and ill-mannered, but I do think Trump has a good relationship with his kids. I think there's something to be said about marrying multiple times and having children with each of his wives, but you never catch a Trump spawn stumbling out of a nightclub with disheveled hair or with a drug scandal. Putting the politics aside, I do think he did a decent job raising his children.
