    Question: How did Biden not rise to the occasion?

    (Non)Answer: Another status quo democrat was not what we needed.

    So you feel what we needed was the alternative, Trump. Because those were the only two choices.

    The environment, peace, wealth, and our very freedoms are now in dire peril.

    Biden was addressing all of these issues. Trump has plans to make all of them worse

      Oh, gees, it totally slipped my mind that Biden was the only choice for a democratic nominee before the last election. No one else besides old white men have ever run for the office, who else could the party have possibly picked?

      So you feel what we needed was the alternative, Trump.

      You can take assumption and shove it violently where such assumptions should go. Just trolling with shit like that trying to put words in other people’s mouths and I will not engage with it. Go fish for an answer you like somewhere else.
