Oh, that's right, you know the Republicans won't do it. That is a democrat thing and we've all had to endure it for the last 4 years.

Just be honest for once. It's always ok for Dems to constantly attack, lie, rant, rave and spread hate and discord and God knows this is all they've done for the last 4 years, but for the Reps to fight back? WHOA BUBBA, what you think you're doing?! That ain't how this game is played, don't you know?!

Bless your hearts, it's got to be nice to always have someone to blame your own shortcomings on.
Asking Democrats to be honest is a lost cause, but I applaud your efforts. You're 100% correct.

If you would stop parroting the media BS and take a little time to do some research you'd find he has "disavowed White Supremacists"many times.

You might also learn that about 30% of the Proud Boys members are "People of Color".

Here's one of the main leaders, Enrique Tarrio:

I hope you feel the same way about Biden wanting to change the "agreed-up debate rules" for his next scheduled debate.

Correct.

There was someone in this very forum that created a conversation about the Proud Boys, it was very informational and I even learned a couple of things about them.

A halfway decent and honest party might take your position and make that argument. That's not today's Democrat pandering party.
Since you didn't check their positions as I did. Harris outlined these clearly in the debate and so did Biden.

DEMOCRAT POSITIONS:

A gradual shift to green energy
Raising taxes on people making over $400k/year (OMG, people will have to pay more to get more! That's so unamerican! )
Expanding Obamacare
Lowering Medicare age to 60
Diversity programs for government officials
2 years of paid college for low income students
$10,000 in student loan forgiveness
Possibly court packing
No ban on fracking

REPUBLICAN PLAN:

I didn't hear one. Did anyone? I didn't read one on the website either. I assume it involves:

Trump skipping out on paying taxes
Trump vacationing every weekend on our dime
Trump infecting everyone in sight with his COVID disease and killing many of them
Trump tweeting insults every day

Biden had nothing to do with it. The Debate Commission decided to change it, and announced their decision to both candidates.

Are you writing about Biden supporting the debate commission's plan for a virtual debate, to avoid exposing uninfected people to Covid-19? Seems like common sense to me. It wasn't just Biden who supported this sensible, practical suggestion. The commission which plans the debate schedule first proposed it, as I understand. Biden agreed.

It was Trump, not Biden, who refused to participate if this were done.

He could ask they stick to the agreed upon rules since there's no reason to cancel.

He didn't.

He can wear his mask and do "social distancing".

It's no more "sensible and practical" than at any other time.
It's still the same risk.

He "agreed" because it's an easy way out for him.
He won't have to face Trump on his own.

Trump wants to stick to the agreed upon rules.
When Democrats see themselves losing, they always want to change the rules.

And speaking of "flies":
