Jill Biden is propping up a husband who is faltering mentally do to his age. It is not Joes fault. He is showing signs of dementia.

facts, please. be more specific. just because he's not mumbling about "person, man, woman, camera, tv" or uses the phrase "covfefe, it does not mean he has mental troubles.
quite the contrary, i find his sentences refreshingly coherent

Well.
We will see if the The Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's Curse or the 20 Year Presidential Curse) comes true.

Joe Biden, the winner of the 2020 election, is next in line to this purported curse.

(B.t.w. since some Americans seem to have a problem with understanding or listening: Behaving "social" has nothing to do with "socialism", or "socialistic". E.g. the "Social-democratic party" in Germany is "social" and "democratic" inasfar as behaviour, social contacts, wellbeing and welfare have a priority, it is still very "capitalist"; equally the "Christian democratic Union" is basically a "social" party.
The meaning of "social" is a bit different in e.g. India or England, where it more relates to social classes being institutionalised, again a very human concept. One ape or group of apes is better that another, because of made-up reasons to justify being better off or at least different than others.
(Now England just missed the opportunity to become a member of the 20 planets union with brexit, so be it. I expect humans to be very astonished in a hundred years from now)

Is it a human's conscious decision to be born 200 meters left or right from an artificial "border", and then be "proud" and "patriotic" that this being was born at this place, and not 400 meters elsewhere? Oskar awards = one chimpanzee handing a stick to another, and the latter is sooo proud. Primate behaviour, where the word "primate" is already ridiculous.

I think a lot of Americans get tripped up on that word socialism because of old animosities and propaganda from the cold war era. Couple that with no real desire to look beyond the headline or learn anything for themselves. It just snowballs into a battle of egos and tit for tat online arguments. What I think many fail to understand is that just because some program has the word social in it doesn't mean you can accuse it of being Socialism. Take for instance helping the poor or starving. We the people have a responsibility by either directly or through legislation and tax to establish social programs to help them. Private or government 'social programs' are NOT in any shape a form of Socialism as defined by Karl Marx.

IMO only thing that comes close to Socialism is property. Think about it, we own nothing, the state owns it all. Stop paying your real property tax and watch how fast they swoop in and take it from you and put it up for community auction. But hey they gotta pay for those social programs somehow I guess.

Try this, live with a person who is in early stages of dementia. They can be with it all day. The next day there is a silver alert for a person who has disappeared. It happens to be the person you are living with that has dementia. It is gradual. You have only seen some of the mumbling on camera. You have also seen his wife pull him from the podium as he stood there lost or mumbling on.

Which is a possibility.

Many put their vote on Biden, not because they are Democrats, or use to vote-They did it to get Trump out of the White House.

Fact.
My mother suffered dementia so I saw the signs.

Tell news. Voting in general is a decision for the lesser of two (or more) evils. So what?

The taxation thing was the straw that broke the camel's back, bottom line, the colonies were tired of people 3500 miles away ordering their lives without regard to actual conditions. Hence the "shot heard around the world".

Biden is a centrist? Are you crazy! If so why does he not have any Republicans working with him? He has no committee set up with any olive branch headed over to the Republicans right now. Not a centrist brother.
