    Apparently you can't be bothered to read because you both failed to respond to the post where I actually endorsed Biden and then you willfully ignored the aspect of my post where I described why Trump is likely the one who faces an enthusiasm problem.

    Strong support for your candidate is not the only source of enthusiasm. People are just as motivated to show up and vote in order to defeat a candidate of whom they strongly disapprove.

    When you combine strong support for Trump with strong disapproval for Biden, you get a number that is significantly below the strong support for Biden plus strong disapproval for Trump.

    Good for her, I don't give a ****.

    I counted to the 23rd post, which was yours and responded to it. If you can't count accurately, that's not my doing. Perhaps since your ability to give accurate directions sucks, you should simply post your arguments in your reply rather than sending another somewhere else,when you apparently can't give accurate directions.
    You just conceded Biden's lack of deep support.
    No they aren't. And you just dodged the question that forms the thesis of this thread. Your argument for Biden, isn't for Biden, it's against Trump, which is the point of the opening post.
    You're spinning like a top and making no sense at all.
    Vulgarity is a sure sign that one is out of logical arguments. Your concession is accepted with grace.

    I don't support him, but he's not Trump, so I'm voting for him.

    I do support the fact that he's not bat **** crazy like Trump is, and doesn't say mindboggingly stupid things like Trump does.

    Not saying Biden is perfect, but he's a lot more normal that Trump is. Trump is anomaly if there ever were one.

    I hope for your sake that the 40% of voters who still approve of Trump will be enough to beat the 56% who are disgusted with him.

    If Trump wins in 2020 he will probably still be the candidate in 2024. The Amendment that limits Presidential term is probably the one most easily overturned.

    And even if he isn't the Candidate will be Ivanka or Eric or maybe little Barry if Trump gets the age rule overturned. Wouldn't that be nice?

    The Democratic candidate will be either arrested or murdered until nobody viable will want the job This is how Putin has handled opposition.

    By 2028 we won't even have elections anymore IF Trump wins in 2020.

    Oh come on now, Hillary isn't a Trump. Trump isn't surrounded by a gaggle of mysterious misfortunate deaths. As for the rest of it I don't think anyone in Congress is eager to revisit term limits and bring that to any kind of vote.

    ...why did you manually count? There is a number in the bottom right of each post so that you don't have to count. If you are using the phone, just rotate your phone horizontally and you'll be able to see the number.

    Here's the link directly to help though: http://politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/why-joe-biden-a-non-trump-thread.576004/#post-1071905559

    I very much addresses why Biden without mentioning Trump. You failed to locate the post and instead found some other aspect where I was addressing the enthusiasm for both Biden and Trump. I am not using that as the reason to support Biden. I am pointing out that difference to illustrate why the enthusiasm gap for Trump is largely a myth.

    The first thing Joe Biden will do is to either reform and reinforce Obamacare or to pass the Single Payer healthcare most of America has wanted since 2008. He will also make college to the bachelor's level free and finally give us sane gun laws for the first time in 50 years.

    These are the main reasons I will vote for Joe Biden.

    The conservatives will fight these tooth and nail, and they will lose since they are in foursquare opposition to the American people on all of them.

    1,400+ Americans died - today - from a virus that he promised would disappear like a miracle.

    I wasn't aware of the numbering. I found the post you referred to and it is as you represented it. Thank you.

    Trying to blame him for this virus is just bullshit. Then again, fantasy is the strength of the Democrat Party. Did you watch that witches trial they passed off as a hearing?

    Definitely more rational than blaming Hillary for "a gaggle of mysterious misfortunate deaths."

    No, not more rational but pretty much as political.

    I don't. He's a joke.

    But I can see why Democrats picked him. He was the most moderate of the bunch, with the exception of maybe Tulsi Gabbard, whom I would have preferred.

    Progressives wanted Sanders, but either there were still enough non-progressive Democrats left to change the tide or enough progressives changed their minds.

    He is trailing in net enthusiasm.

    Yes, I listen to him. No, that is a very rare occurrence.

    What has Trump done that turned the USA into a shithole country? Before he invented Covid-19 I mean.

    He didn't invent it. Just had no plan in place to address the virus.
    And his leadership on how to deal with it is incompetent. Ignoring it has led to the economy taking a greater hit.

    So, incompetence is the main reason we are heading to the shithole on the economy again.

    His response to Covid has been the worst of any nation's. At least some of them had the excuse of not knowing what was happening or being warned and told what should be done.

    He has further turned us into a lawless banana republic, using the very safeguards we're supposed to use to shield our Democracy against us to protect his own wrongdoing..

    He has cruelly and illegally attacked the children of refugees, giving us the reputation of being unprincipled and heartless tyrants before the whole world.

    Shall I go on?

    ...you think Covid-19 was invented?
