Why would you hand-wave away Trump's personality issues as meaningless? His personality drives all his actions, which results in actual real things happening.

I generally find his personality funny and refreshing for a politician so this is wasted on me. Biden’s personality is far more offensive.Captain Termite wrote:Why would you hand-wave away Trump's personality issues as meaningless?

You cited nothing in this post. “Look around you” is meaningless; I’m not gonna see the same things you do.durdencommatyler wrote:I mean Jesus LV look the fuck around you.
Biden ain't my guy but what on Earth makes you think he could be worse or even the same level of disaster Trump has been?
Was Obama the same as Trump? Because at worst Biden is just a flaccid extension of those policies.
But why would you think it is meaningless?

Because I think issues of personality ARE pretty much meaningless when it comes to politics. I don’t care about civility or manners or decorum or any of that shit. All I care about is what Biden will do to improve life for the ruled class, which - as far as I can tell - is nothing.Captain Termite wrote:But why would you think it is meaningless?

Then you should just simply understand that the power and influence the presidency has by appointing the right people to head up cabinet and military positions absolutely matters. Most are currently filled by sycophants, unqualified boot lickers or "acting" officials. Not to mention RBG is going to die soon. Get a grip man.LoathedVermin72 wrote:You cited nothing in this post. “Look around you” is meaningless; I’m not gonna see the same things you do.durdencommatyler wrote:I mean Jesus LV look the fuck around you.

I wasn't talking about manners/decorum. As I said above, Trump's personality problems drive actual decisions, more than for other leaders. It affects who he puts in charge to run parts of the government, foreign and domestic policies, etc.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Because I think issues of personality ARE pretty much meaningless when it comes to politics.

Again, when Bloomberg and Dimon are already being floated, why on earth should I think Biden would do any better than Trump?verb_to_trust wrote:Then you should just simply understand that the power and influence the presidency has by appoint the right people to head up cabinet and military positions absolutely matters.

Is he floating some Brett Buttchug for SCOTUS when RBG dies?

I can’t imagine anybody worse than Jamie DimonCaptain Termite wrote:It seems likely that the worst plausible hypothetical Biden cabinet appointments are better than the actual Trump appointments.

And I'm not going to do your homework for you. I suppose you'll see what you want to see and no amount of evidence to the contrary will sway you.
