Striving for fair & balanced -- again!

I find the 2020 Democratic primaries to be super interesting, just not a lot of discussion of it on ImgFlip but I guess I could do a meme.

Figures, only Al Franken would grope a dead body 🤯

He is a Democrat. Of course!

I can agree with Bad's 1 and 2. The boom in manufacturing is not going to be great for the enviroment in the long run and we do have to combat that. We definitely have a big spending problem, mostly due to our overbloated military budget.

3 I'm iffy on. It can be argued that we should stand with our allies no matter what and I agree with that to some extent. My argument with the Kurdish situation is that we should not have been in there in the first place (thanks Bush) and that we should not be the world police when our infrastructure is crumbling. It sucks that the Kurds couldn't stand up to Turkey, but it's a necessary step to getting out of the foreign wars mess we're stuck in.

4. Yeah he's got a bad attitude, but I would say US politics was poisoned long before Trump even had political aspirations. IDK when it started, but you can really notice it after 9/11 when Bush was able to get us to go to war in Iraq where we had no business going. It got louder under Obama and it's at its peak now under Trump. Trump's bad attitude I think is just a symptom, not the root cause, of our political dysfunction.

5. Running for political office should not insulate you from your crimes. It looks pretty obvious there was a quid pro quo when then-VP Biden told the then-Ukrainian president Poroshenko to fire the prosecutor investigating the company Hunter Biden was working for.

Again with the assertion that if the stock market is doing well, the economy must be doing well.

Half the argument is that for the last thirty or forty years, the experience of most workers has been impacted less and less by whatever number the stock market happened to be today.

I agree with that critique but I will still grant him this point for the sake of fairness & balance

The low unemployment rate, too... even though much of that is crappy jobs that barely pay a decent living.

Don't forget he's an old guy and extremely sexist. He cheated on all of his wife who are all much younger than he is so he has the nerve and the audacity to talk trash about women and hookers that he chased who when confronting him about his bribes he totally denies everything he did, and he was married while he was having sex with Stormy Daniels and he has no respect for marriage at all but he feels he's entitled to it and fatherhood as well.
