          It’s not all fear-voting but it looks that way.

          The rules never change:

          1. Vote for the candidate who has the best chance of delivering on policy that helps the most people be objectively happy.

          2. Repeat forever

          This means people will vote against Mr Trump and for Mr Biden, but only because Biden offers policy that saves money long-term and offers the most objective happiness as per the UN guidelines, and Trump offers none of that.

        As opposed to Biden supporters

        I love how you “both sides” this one.

        Also, yes: as opposed to [democrats]. The approach to power on both parties is different - if we compare just those two - in that the primary attribute shown by the Republicans is loyalty, as in “conservatives fall in line”; whereas the primary attribute by Democrats is skepticism, as “Democrats fall in love”.

        Each party has used this to their advantage, but any party can shake up the democrats with their angst simply by offering a candidate that seems better than the absolute shitheel the conservatives offer now. Democrats will jump ship if the candidate evaluates well at the start or middle of the term.

        Bidens supporters are critical of him, trumps supporters masturbate in the corner staring at a picture of him and Putin shirtless. We’re not the same.

      Yeah, honestly all the smearing on Trump will not work if the opposition does not offer anything substantive.

        You may need to go see what of substance the ‘opposition’ (usually not the term for the controlling administration so much as its leading competition) has offered. There’s a list, but publicizing that list is where this democratic administration truly has sucked.
