You say that as if Trump hasn’t already turned the US into a laughing stock.

Trump hasn’t started another conflict, was allowed into North Korea, brought troops home, increased our economy, forced China to pay fair share, assisted minority colleges financially, and has never been challenged by a foreign power.

I would say Trump is not a laughing stock.

Biden gets in... Syria watch your back!

[Buddahaid]

Biden is in.

was allowed into North Korea,

Trying to make friends with a brutal communist dictatorship that he'd just been trading barbs with doesn't exactly inspire my confidence.

brought troops home,

Which left US allies vulnerable to attack, damaging US interests.

forced China to pay fair share,

If you say so, but from here it looks like our closest ally has become unreliable while our biggest national security threat since WWII grows stronger.

increased our economy... assisted minority colleges financially,

That's good.

and has never been challenged by a foreign power.

Here is North Korea challenging Trump.

I would say that he is, based on how most of us foreigners are laughing at him for his ego and ridiculous behaviour.

Ok... so you are a foreigner, great.

If you lived here you would feel the power of capitalism and the benefits of a strong leader like Trump harnessing that power.

But most countries don’t have that power.

Socialism and communism sucks!

[Buddahaid]

Well I'm not a foreigner and I mostly felt embarrassed my president was the court fool, and like I've said before, I wasn't opposed to his policy in general, but opposed to him as the person to carry it out.

Yes, that's why I have 'Location: Australia' under my username.

Weren't you complaining about capitalist media companies a few posts ago? And you just praised Trump for putting government money into minority colleges, which sounds more like a socialist policy than a capitalist one.

Also, you're acting as if literally all of western Europe isn't capitalist. Even Scandinavian countries are just social democrat - i.e. capitalism with limits placed on it by the government.

Maybe if the US government placed some more limits on capitalist media companies, spreading fake news wouldn't be so profitable?

[bstanko6]

Correct media is capitalist. But the push socialist agendas. That is an issue here.

The funny thing about this debate between Trump and Biden...

A Trump supporter usually names several reasons shy he is a great president. The things he has done for us that we have felt over the last 4 years.

Biden supporters name all the bad things Trump has done in the last 4 years.

And that I see is legit. Every president have had their good and bad. And I can’t argue that.

But there is one thing Biden supporters never do...

Tell us what Biden will do better! It’s a mystery.

He talks about raising taxes during a pandemic : BAD

Talks about limiting the 2nd amendment: BAD (even the Aussies can understand that issue)

Talks about shutting down the country even with the vaccine out: BAD

Talks about allowing Iran, a country who hates the US and prays to destroy us, to continue their nuclear program: BAD

He will negotiate with other countries but speaks like Porky Pig, but I can understand Porky Pig better: REALLY BAD

Wants his heroin addict son Hunter to hold office in his administration: BAD BAD BAD

Those are just a few things.

Here is my question, and it’s a serious one, I’m looking for a serious answer...

What will Biden do that will make the country better? And please provide a source. I get why people hate Trump but please explain Joe and his plans?

Thank you

A psychopath trapped inside the bunker at the centre of lunacy. He should not be in the Oval Office, but a locked high security room inside a mentla asylum. There is no cure for personality disorder like on display in Trump's case. His inactivity and carelessness murders Americans. He is a clear and present danger to the common good, the interest of the nation, and the life and health of millions of its citizens.

Skybird...

Do you have anything better than CNN? Not to be funny but they hate trump, are biased, and do not explain how Biden is a better choice.

Do you have a source that explains in great detail how Biden will be a better choice?

Although I am not a big fan of President Trump and especially his behavior post election, this is simply not true.

...all 50 states independently directed and implemented their own pandemic policies. In every case, governors and local officials were responsible for on-the-ground choices—every business limit, school closing, shelter-in-place order and mask requirement. No policy on any of these issues was set by the federal government, except those involving federal property and employees.

.. the federal government’s role in the pandemic has been grossly mischaracterized by the media and their Democratic allies. That distortion has obscured several significant successes, while undermining the confidence of ordinary Americans. Federal financial support and directives enabled the development of a massive, state-of-the-art testing capacity and produced billions of dollars of personal protective equipment. Federal agencies met all requests for supplemental medical personnel and hospital-bed capacity. Officials in the Health and Human Services Department have told me there are no unmet requests for extra resources.
