Oh well, yes not minding the first term of a president is a bad reason to vote for his second.

"Not minding" isn't the same as, say, "liking" or "fully supporting". Its an odd reason to vote for someone, imo.

Why?

If I made the assessment one candidate I wouldn't mind and another I would even slightly dislike it seems quite coherent

Hmm, ok, not sure I understand what you're trying to say. I guess we have very different views on Trump, what he is, what he's doing, his effect on our nation, etc.

All I really feel motivated to say is good ideas should have good results and the most liberal states NY and CA are circling the drain. If Biden loses and they don't get bailed it it's curtains for them.
Those states alone consist of 30% of the USA's GDP and give far more to the federal government than they receive in turn. They're basically forced to fund a whole bunch of red states like Kentucky and Mississippi on their own, giving those red states the freedom to keep their taxes low with zero consequences. Once the blue state funding is gone, red states other than Texas will be in deep trouble. Be careful what you wish for.

This is quite the mis information but it alwaya depends how you look at it. The state that gets the most federal funding is california

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rank

But so what some states are rich and urban and others are rural and agrarian. Should NY hoard dollars and iowa hoard grain? Who will win

Federal funding pays for a zillion things from farmer subsidies to the military acting like it's some sort of divided per capita based on the states it goes to is as dumb, if not dumber, than repubs getting up there and saying the government should be compared to a family budget

You totally understand you're just playing dumb are you saying right here you don't understand the difference between doesn't mind and dislike?

The founders of BLM state that the idea family should not be a nuclear family. Are you kidding me? A family needs a father and a mother!

Secondly, BLM has been anti-Christian. Sorry, but if you are against Jesus, I cannot support you. I'm not the only African American that feels this way. Just because someone looks like me, that does not mean you get my support.

I believe they are trying to shift the narrative of "ideal." Many people are single parent households facing an uphill climb in society because we collectively say they are not an "ideal" family. That child then spends their whole upbringing being told they are not coming from something ideal. Instead, if you can support single parent households with other people in their lives to love them and show them they are worthy, things like love and marriage can more organically happen in due time, rather than just being done to become "ideal."

In many instances, the parent raising the kid doesn't want to be a single parent, they just are. People can't always control a partner leaving them, refusing to help raise a kid, divorcing and moving away, or dying. As a society, we say "Your family isn't ideal now that your husband walked out on you for a younger woman." That single parent didn't chose to get left, but that's reality. In the current system, our society says "Well you better get out there and start dating fast, find a new man, and get married again ASAP because you aren't "ideal" until you do that." Maybe we can flip the narrative a bit so people don't have to make such tough decisions just to feel a sense of belonging in the fabric of our society. We can say ALL parent's who love their kids and are trying to do their very best for them given the circumstances are an "ideal" parent and an "ideal" family. Rather than, "Well yeah, you are a great mom, but definitely not an ideal family and you best find a new husband to be good enough."
