    I don't think Biden is a radical socialist at all.

    It's amazing how numbers of confirmed cases so closely correlate to the number of tests given. Here, I just selected a large number of European countries, and Japan, to compare to that graph above. Amazing our positive rates are also higher, almost as if it's statistical probability. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-total-tests-for-covid-19?time=2020-02-22..latest&country=USA~JPN~CAN~IRL~GBR~France%2C tests performed~DEU~GRC~ESP~PRT

    Just come out and say you are voting for Trump. Own your opinion. Undecided. Not afraid to "own an opinion."

    Name a western country anything remotely like the United States as it relates to our history, constitution, or population. Can you?
  5. McCroskey
    No, but we call consumers. Was a different part of the act.

    No, I think they are both corrupt but in completely different ways. This country should never have 20+ year career politicans, much less 50 year politicians. And I'm a person that says "always and never are two words you should always remember to never use."

    So the fact my business is now saving tens of thousands of dollars per year for what were previously bullshit TCPA compliance rules is wrong? That, along with other reduced regs, has allowed us to hire 8-9 additional employees now since 2017.

    See, I just completely disagree with that. We've tested 70MM people thus far and are tracking COVID better than anywhere in the world, with the next nearest country being India, which has 4x our population but has only tested half the number of people we have. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/full-list-total-tests-for-covid-19 Travel to Europe a bit and talk to people who have lived there their entire lives, get a sense of their healthcare and what it is, and then try to rationalize that we could even remotely have something similar. It won't ever happen, and probably for good reasons. And that's not a knock on their system, things are just completely different here compared to anywhere else in the world.

    Don't watch Fox News. Sorry to see you aren't interested in any kind of rationally formed alternative opinions. I see a lot of that these days.
  10. McCroskey
    Is there another country in the world people are flocking to right now more than the US? Not that I've heard.
  11. McCroskey
    Agreed, and thank God I don't live in a European country.

    Less regulations. Lower taxes. Improved foreign policy positions (I don't demand foreign countries "like" our president), stronger immigration policies (legal is great, illegal is well, illegal), increased energy independence, separation from bullshit treaties and accords (Iran, Paris, etc...), more accountability to NATO countries, tougher stances on the UN, pushing through better judges. Those are at the top of my mind.

    Debates are off the cuff...and that's simply not Joe's strength regardless of how good he was tonight. Personally, I don't see any way the DNC will let him do a single debate...the upside is minimal and the downsides are tremendous. Time will tell.
  14. McCroskey
    In many ways no, and in many ways yes. I think we're in a clusterfuck of a situation. I despise Trump as a person and a statesman, but it's hard to argue the success of certain policies and political tactics. I like Biden as a person and statesman, but simply cannot understand some of the positions and policies he says he would enact. This might make me sound even worse but personally I don't even think Joe believes a lot of the stuff he says himself...but he's letting himself get pulled farther left due to political pressures.
  15. McCroskey
    I think Biden loves America, and I think Trump loves America. And each for very different reasons.
  16. McCroskey
    This right here is what I think is fucked up. Trump SUCKS but Jesus, why do we have to set the bar so low that we can't go find someone who isn't a career policitian and part of the establishment that just tells us what we want to hear in prepared statements? I'm sure people will say "well sure, anyone is better for Trump" but I disagree. Just don't understand why the country can't set their sights higher. We constantly fall back into a comfort zone with who we "know." Pete would have been better...Yang would even be better in many respects IMO.
  17. McCroskey
    My God are you kidding??? In what other country in the history of the world would Trump be a billionaire and literally voted to be leader of the free world? Anywhere else he's outcast, jailed, and/or killed.
  18. McCroskey
    Well of course not. I vote for people based on what I think is going on inside their mind, not just what they are saying when literally reading carefully prepared statements. Do you really have trouble seeing the difference?
  19. McCroskey
    Don't agree with the analogy. I just like people who communicate without being so "obvious" they are reading a prepared speech. As I said, Obama was really great at this which is why I voted for him twice...Bill was great at it and even better off the cuff...Hillary just sucked and Trump really sucks, too.
  20. McCroskey
    Well it's definitely not all I'm seeing...but you don't find that mildly odd??? I don't really understand with all the planning how they can't have teleprompters setup just like news people have every day, where eye contact is obvious.
  21. McCroskey
    Clinton was so much better off the cuff, but yes also great off the teleprompter. Not sure any president has ever been worse than Trump.
  22. McCroskey
    Careful how you put that. I think they all "love" America and any of them would probably despise my existence if I didn't agree with them. God our system sucks.
  23. McCroskey
    Obama is one of the greatest orators in our history, who regularly read from a teleprompter. The gift was you couldn't tell when he was talking to you, or at least it wasn't anywhere near obvious. I know that's a high bar but I feel like we're looking at being forced to order from either a shit sandwich or a shit salad.
  24. McCroskey
    Is it strange he's not making any kind of eye contact and clearly looking to his left, reading?
  25. McCroskey
    Only those with a soul.
