In my opinion, the only energy this ad will generate is to create more dislike for Biden and the Democrats/liberals.

Perhaps that rubbed off on ol' SlowJoe. This ad was almost impossibly tone-deaf, but that's Biden for you. The rest of the world has moved on, but he's still blasting "My Sharona" in his basement.
It's a country stating otherwise is pure non-sense. Violence from the far right, inciting civil war? Have you been paying attention? Antifa is not far right. Hell the Anti-Facist showed up to a free speech rally to shut it down...let that sync in for a moment. And only fringe morons are rooting on a civil war. But keep burning down people's property, trying to take over sections of cities, defunding the police etc...and well they may get what they want with the facilitation of Democrat Mayors and Governors.
I was thinking about this post, and I am asking the following:
If Biden/Harris wins, then extreme violence (meaning rioting) won't result, right? (Because most Trump voters do not live in the cities, so how and where would they riot? I just can't imagine a bunch of Trumpers rioting and burning stores in their towns like Sheridan, Wyoming, for example.
And if Trump wins and the rioting becomes even more destructive than it has been in recent months, what would prevent Trump from unleashing the military? (I would think there would be plenty of people in the military who would love to seriously injure, or even kill, those who want to destroy the U.S.)
So, in short,I doubt there will be any civil war at all if Biden/Harris wins, and If Trump wins, I would think it would be brought to a very swift end
A realistic approach.
Criticism that we can improve, we can accept out history and work together on
Positive change.
Thank you Biden for keeping it....realistic
You don't have to tell me twice our country made some humdingers of bad choices. And one will be leaving in January . Recess bully time is over on .
The problem with your post is it looks at those times and decisions with today’s lens. Actually, back in the day, the United States was crazy revolutionary. Just the fact that the founders said we have an alienable rights was huge. As far as slavery, America was just doing what everyone else including Africa was doing. Yes it was ugly time for many societies, but we can’t judge past America with today’s lens. If you look at what America has become, it started out and still is the most revolutionary country in the world. Our constitution guarantees rights to the people that no other country in the world does. It spreads central power out unlike any other country. It’s a beautiful thing, and together we can become even greater.
What he was attacking were the recent concerns that so many Americans have expressed with regard to the infiltration of critical race theory into American schools, government agencies, and workplaces.
Don't get me wrong, racism is a serious issue but my goodness, are there no other topics that Dems are concerned about? At the end of the day, it makes the entire party look like a bunch of simpletons.
It's like going out to a restaurant with your friend who buys a new dog. The first 10 minutes is spent listening about the dog. But after awhile, you want to change the topic and your friend interjects, "I only want to talk about my dog."
Next week, you meet up with your friend again for dinner. You start with some small talk and your friend rudely interrupts and says "I only want to talk about my dog."
How would that sound to any of us?
That's what's happening with the racism topic!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS IMPORTANT, but my goodness, the topic is getting stale fast! People tune out and the message becomes ineffective. Look at reduced tv and sports watching as evidence. When a topic goes from a dialogue to a lecture, your average American stops listening.
Come on Dems, think of the next topic, I know you can do it

You would think they learned a lesson when Obama said our jobs weren't ever coming back and Hillary said she was going to shut down jobs to never come back.
How do you run on pessimism and hate? The Dems truly hate the country and think we are the enemy, that's how.
No, Joe, America was a people, a culture, with some good leaders who had good ideas, implemented them and created a great country.
