I wouldn't vote for Trump or Biden if someone was threatening me with legit physical harm.
You may want to check your password, because someone posted some rather gushing stuff about Trump under your name.

Extremely even-handed.

ANY CHIEF EXECUTIVE vs a lifetime legislator.

Read it again, and L2context.

And I still have not voted for Trump, nor will I. Neither he nor Biden will ever get my consent to oppress me. Neither will anyone other person for the remainder of my life. I did not elect Trump, and that's a fact.

What I said was directed at people who still think their vote a) matters and b) is something other than an indirect act of violence. And I will stand on the analysis, because it has held up for 132 years. When the voters choosing the next chief executive are given a choice between the current chief executive and a lifetime legislator/meeting attendee, they are rock solid consistent for the last 132 years in choosing actual executive experience over hypotheticals from someone who has never held an executive position in their career.

For any objective measure you use to judge the ability to do any job, someone currently in the job versus someone with exactly zero experience with that job (or even type of job) is not a real tough choice. It's why experience almost always beats just education (edit, lol) during job searches. Practical vs theoretical, and you voter folks aren't choosing the next helpdesk intern, junior developer or mailroom tech. You're choosing the CEO of the United Freaking States. Experience matters, and it's why incumbents tend to win...objective analysis of who is best suited for that job.

Your partisan myopia takes that analysis and turns me into a Trumpster, but only in your freaking head. I hate the whole freaking construct, Bad Orange Man included. But FFS, I can figure out the objective way to match candidates with a particular job.

Relax, you're not the only Libertarian/Anarchist/whatever who just so happens to be in agreement with the Republicans on the Internet. It's surprisingly common.

Where am I in agreement with Republicans? They tax, they oppress, and they initiate force, same as Democrats. Why would I agree with them?

But Trump is the President. Need to create hysteria.

Close enough. It won't be 10% effective but still worth it. But the governors are working to slow its use.

You seem unaware that Biden held the executive job of VP for 8 years, and as a close advisor to the POTUS In the WH for 8 years, clearly gained some insight and experience relevant to the POTUS job as well.
