2020 Presidential Election Discussion

My biggest problems with Trump are his protectionist trade policy, his character, and the general stance of the republican party on criminal justice reflected in his original appointment of Jeff Sessions.

Those are criticisms I have of Trump, and given my disdain for a lot of the Democrats' platform if they don't cut the other way on the things I disagree with the Trump administration on they are going to find it nearly impossible to earn my vote since they aren't offering anything I find to be better.

Kamala Harris seems to be something of a protectionist herself rather than a free trade person, her moral character as someone with virtually the same sexual ethics as Trump and her obsessively racial lens through which she views the world isn't a winning point for me, and I don't trust her with criminal justice given her record.

Beto on the other hand is actually in favor of free trade and (at least in his Texas run) lower corporate taxes because he's not economically illiterate to how economic growth works, and he's given me no reason to doubt his character or his sincerity when it comes to criminal justice.

I get that, but attacking a candidate on their weak morals while supporting a POTUS who’s shown nigh zero morals is silly.

It's that I agree with Trump more than the democrats on policy, so if a candidate is just as bad as him or near as bad as him in the areas with which I take issue with Trump, then there's no selling point for me.

Honestly, you're painting Harris is be a lot like Trump, so if he's fit for office, why not her.

I don't know a lot about her aside from the top layer stuff you see/hear. I will be looking very closely into her soon though, if she comes out as a serious contender, which seems to be what people expect/believe in the Dem primary.

Kamala Harris is a candidate who differs from Trump in the areas that I agree with Trump on, and mirrors Trump in the areas in which I am critical of him.

Therefore in the viewpoint of who I am willing to vote for, Trump has redeeming qualities for me in terms of my political standpoints, Kamala doesn't.

I hope the Dems play as dirty as Trump this election. It would be oh so fun to watch. I’m tired of their moral high ground card they’ve been playing.

Fair enough then

Biden announced he's running.

Biden was "95% sure" a week or two ago, so it was expected.

This is really his only chance, running against someone like Trump. If the Republicans try and dig up something shitty and inappropriate he's said 10-20-30 years ago, they'll look foolish as Trump says shitty and inappropriate comments on a nigh daily basis and they pretend it's not happening.

Kamela's morals are nowehere near as weak as Trump.

False equivocation,

She does not lie anywher enear as much per multiple factcheckers, she has not done things as shitty as Trump has.

I'm still sad that Richard Ojeda decided against campaigning. It was the right move, since he had no chance of actually winning, but it would still have been a treat to see a guy like him on the debate floor.

Of those who are still in the running, Andrew Yang is the only one who's managed to grab my attention. I'm not certain that I'm actually on board with his policy direction, but if nothing else he's talking about some interesting things. The rest strike me as either completely unremarkable or outright nauseating, although in fairness there's a couple names up there that I don't recognize.

Nope, wrong again, Libtard. Fact: she had an affair with a married man, she's literally Hitler

Beto is in the race now, so exciting 🙄

Speaking of Beto, seems the hoopla today about Beto is he ate some of that holistic heal thyself dirt, it's all over the Far-Right/Alt-Right news networks; they're pushing hard.

Will say again, if a 20+ year old DUI and now some dirt nonsense is the best mud the opposition can dig up to throw against Beto politically, he's doing fine on that front.
