I think Bidens efforts to make his administration... let's just say, pan-American is a bit of an oversteer. I'm fine with Harris because I think she's absolutely qualified, but I do worry a bit that some people might be hired for their profile rather than their qualification. I think the oversteer is in reaction to the repulsion most Americans felt toward Trump's apologist attitude toward r****m.

But once the administration is up and running I think there's going to be so much to do, that less attention will be spent on things like diversity and more attention will be spent on getting the job done. That to me is the big test for Biden. We already had four years of flexing and posing... Now is the time for action.

This country has been slowly heading for the rocks for the past 30 years and we're getting to the point where we can't ignore the dangers anymore. Bush made things worse, Obama was a reprieve, then Trump just dropped the ball entirely to pose for pictures and now we need someone to steer the ship to safer waters.

To be honest, I think Biden is going to be another reprieve. Like Obama, he's going to slow down the ship and buy us some time. But to avoid disaster we need someone who can change course. I'm looking to the young generation, people like AOC, which I'm sure you h**e, but she's a smart woman with an eye on the future that to be quite honest Republicans seem incapable of understanding.

What thread was this other reply in?, I may have missed it.

As for this discussion, the OP is clearly misogynistic and r****t. There really isn't any cause or reason to expect that Biden will not look to place qualified people into those positions nor that the qualified persons he selects will put g****r or race above their own responsibilities for the positions they are selected for. Why speculate based on the g****rs and races of the proposed se******ns when we don't even have specifics on the persons he intends to select? IF he had given names and IF some of those names were known to put their g****r or their race ahead of their responsibilities, then his questions would be appropriate and called for, as we know no names at this point, to speculate based on the unknown would be irresponsible, the sole reason he posed those questions is that he wants people to speculate based on g****rs and race. He expects that women, ALL WOMEN, put g****r first and their responsibilities and that people of color, ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR, are prone to putting their race before their responsibilities, is that not misogynistic? Is that not r****t?

I do know some conservatives that aren't bigoted, of course for me, possibly due to location or other circumstances, my findings aren't quite like yours, the ratio is more around 50% bigoted, 50% not bigoted. Of the conservatives I know that support Trump, those ratios skew a bit. The Trump supporting conservatives I know are 80%+ bigoted. conservative figure, and not including the unconfirmed bigotry deniers, those that make questionable denials of bigotry. 75% of Trump supporting conservatives that I know personally (in real life) are quite open with their bigotry, even if they do sometimes deny it. When one makes unsupported claims or accusations related to only certain individuals and quite consistently, it doesn't matter if they do deny bigotry, you KNOW they ARE bigoted, people lie, that is just a fact of life. I know quite a few that ALWAYS tell off color jokes at the expense of "people of color" yet claim they aren't prejudiced, does that wash?

That last paragraph, actually... T***h can be quite humorous. It was 100% sarcastic and to be honest, if Biden accomplished even one item in that "wish list", I would be absolutely amazed, especially if he is saddled with a Republican led senate. I am a realist, I fully expect not one thing to get crossed off, even if he made every reasonable attempt to do so.

I am, as much as people refuse to acknowledge it, a centrist. I can be quite reasonable and even somewhat friendly, so long as not confronted with lies, I am quite unreasonable when one tries to lie to me. I also don't deal well with conspiracy theory, alternate reality, propaganda or people refusing to acknowledge reality. If you are any bit like minded, even if you are a conservative, even if you are a liberal, we can get along, but I refuse to give on my expectations, I expect honesty, that we remain in the realm of reality and make every honest attempt to avoid CT and propaganda, or at least be willing to discuss CTs and propaganda with an open mind and the ability to accept reality. Either that or a willingness to agree to disagree, I WILL NOT be turned to accepting unproven CTs, it just WILL NOT happen.

OK, so you don't know what c*******m is and I'm not sure you even know what wealth redistribution is.

The 2017 Tax Cut signed into law by none other than Trump himself is the most recent example of wealth redistribution in America. Here's why... The money that was until then directed to the republic (in the form of corporate taxes) was redirected back into the pockets of the corporations. That's wealth redistribution, pure and simple.

I can take this a step further and mention that more of that money put back in corporate pockets wound up in the stock market than payroll accounts and as a result became available to the rest of the world. So if Russian oligarchs wanted to steal money from the American people, all that needs to happen is to have the U.S. government cut taxes so corporations can redirect the money to the stock market where it's available to Russian oligarchs.

Now, I know for a lot of people "wealth distribution" is just a derogatory *Marxist* term, but for those who understand what it actually means it becomes obvious that it's common place in every political AND economic system that ever existed.
