As for Biden's innocence, insofar as he hasn't been convicted, sure. I'm not opposed to getting to the bottom of these allegations. But I'm also not going to call every discovery of inconsistencies "fake news." I guess that makes me a Franco acolyte.
So until Joe Biden is convicted of rape you are not going to pass judgement on him?

I guess I passed judgment on him by not voting for him in the primary. So, no, I guess?

That sucks but if the send another $1200 that’s another precious month I don’t have to work. And the pentagon is going to get their money anyway. Even The Turtle gave a small wtf to that pentagon pork. If they’ll give me a couple more thousand they can give the pentagon 50 trillion for all I care. It’s not like this debt isn’t past the point of no return. And the oligarchs aren’t going to be any more insulated than the are now. We’re either willing to kill them or not. Until it’s dangerous for them and their families to hoard so much wealth that’s the way it’s going to stay.

I specifically said about him that this is the first time in a long time no one thinks the candidate will "save us." I'm not excited about Biden. No one is. I also said that's a positive thing and then jwb called me Ezra Klein for it.

So if people aren't excited by a rapist they're going to vote for that's exciting?

My state is super blue, and Hilary got our state in the 2016. I ain't worried. Oh, and despite being super left leaning we have a moderate republican as our Governor. Maryland is a weird ass state where both parties aren't constantly at each other's throats.

3. Some diversity training coaches separate groups into race for two of many group activities in some of their nonmandatory training sessions. This is the left attempting to legislate segregation.
4. Some leftist college professors write a letter requesting things like equal pay which is fine, I guess, but they go full retard by referencing critical race theory. None of these requests were granted. This is the left calling for the oppression of us well-to-do white men and submitting to emotional hysteria.
5. A professor from the same college writes a response where he rejects white privilege and calls a student group a terrorist organization, much like the heroic scholars of the past who defended evolution. This was brave and very honourable of him.
6. His coworkers were appalled at calling a peaceful student group a terrorist organization and explained what informs that stance. This is the left attempting to suppress speech that they are too sensitive to deal with under the guise of safety.
7. All of this is bad because the left is smarter than those silly right wingers.
8. Here are two misrepresented scenarios that demonstrate persecution by the left.
9. Rush Limbaugh is an *******.
10. The left has become Rush Limbaugh because some of my coworkers try to talk about politics with me.
11. These are some atrocities that the right has committed.
12. The left is the same as this.
13. Now I'm bummed out because I can't just switch teams all willy-nilly like I used to.

Anything else important to add? This article seems at odds with a lot of what you've posted in this thread, tbh.

What inherently is a "good thing" about no one being excited for Joe Biden? Do you think that running unexciting presidential candidates is a successful strategy for political parties?

I suppose I could see the argument of "if you have little to no expectations, it's hard to be dissappointed", but I don't know how you win a presidential election like that.

Well then your lack of worry is justified. I hope, for your sake, that the parties in your state continue to work amicably together despite the broad national political polarization.
