I heard a calm voice reciting positive stats about the economy and I looked up from some work I was doing on the computer, sensing something different. And it was a Biden voter! He was great, and so different than Cheato's supporters who never give logical reasons for what they're doing.

If that was a dig at Biden voters, you picked the wrong place to post it.

Who cares how many teeth he has anyway? The number of teeth in someone's mouth are not directly related to their intelligence or who they vote for. My husband and I are both Biden voters, and neither of us has all our teeth. We also both have masters degrees. People lose their teeth for lots of different reasons.

I see you are new here. Enjoy your stay.

I had a neighbor come in say he was a Democrat, wanted to vote in the Promary. Thre head poll worker challenged him,made him sign a paper that he was a Democrat. I sat there knowing he was a Republican. A Southern Baptist Pastor.

BTW, THE HEAD Judge was a Republican. We all took our jobs seriously. He wanted to vote for Obama. Thought he was a weak candidate!! Surprise!+

The Bush smear about John McCain's "black love child" had regurgitated to the top and I was so disgusted I wanted to stop Bush in the worst way. Of course, it didn't happen and all hell broke loose when he was in office. Al Gore would have made such a good POTUS. Damn the SCOTUS.

Scolded for:

Talking about reproductive rights too much, depending too much on the issue to be important to voters.
Not talking about reproductive rights enough because the issue is very important to voters, why aren't they saying anything about it?.

Talking too much about the administration's achievements, not telling voters about big future goals instead of "resting on laurels."
Not talking enough about the administration's achievements, people don't know what Biden has done, why aren't they saying anything about it?

Talking too much about Trump and the threat to democracy, being only the "We're not Trump" party, voters aren't really concerned with loss of democracy.
Not talking enough about Trump, not going after Trump hard enough, not understanding the threat to democracy, why aren't they saying anything about it?

Always too much or not enough.

A short time ago I watched MSNBC correspondent Shaquille Brewster at a polling location talking to a brother and sister. He was voting for Haley and she was voting for Trump. All three were smiles throughout the segment. He asked her what she liked about Trump and she gave the stock answer:
-economy was better
-he's pro-life
-he did a good job
-"it was unfair how he left office"

No counter with the fact Stinky attempted a coup and is under multiple serious indictments. Her brother said he would support Trump if Haley lost. I'm sure they'd vote for Ted Bundy if he was alive and running.
