So we’re stuck with a choice between a serial sexual predator, and one who possibly did this once — which is obviously once too often. But it’s not just the person in the White House, when all is said and done. We get their ideology too, their agenda, their personnel choices, their party, its ideology, its agenda, etc.
To me, it’s an easy choice, if forced to choose between the two (rotten choices) and just those two: the Dems. IMO, if it’s a binary thing only, no leftist should need more than two seconds to decide.
Well, I don’t think Biden is a serial predator, but I have no reason to doubt this woman’s claim, and I think you might be letting him off a little easy. Biden has long been alleged to be “handsy” and to touch women inappropriately.
I myself will most likely vote for Biden, because, as you say, if I have to choose between two rapists, I’ll choose the slightly less objectionable rapist. But I’m not sure it’s fair to say any leftist should be able to make this choice easily. The woman who Biden is accused of assaulting did some work for Bernie’s campaign, so I’m assuming she’s at least something of a leftist. Should she feel compelled to vote for her rapist over Trump? Should any woman, regardless of political affiliation, feel compelled to vote for a rapist?
I no longer buy into the “a vote for ‘x’ is a vote for ‘y’” precept. People need to be able to vote their conscience, and not feel pressured to vote for someone they object to, and if someone’s conscience won’t let them vote for a rapist, even if that rapist shares the same political views, then I’m ok with that.
I have a theory, myself. I think a Virus wiped out the Dinosaurs. It was a meteor-virus. A big meteor landed and there was an alien corona-virus on it.
And that was that.w
vI’m in a debate with some “elsewhere” who argue that herd immunity will eventually protect us. Not just me debating, I am on a side. Our side argues that herd immunity needs a vaccine, it doesn’t just arise spontaneously. The other side thinks it arises spontaneously. Right now though we don’t even know if you can get this again, and there are signs you can, or some can anyway. They didn’t have a vaccine for the Spanish Flu, and it took 3 years to go away. (Probably because it mutated into something more benign, like, for example, dedicated football fandom).
Yes, it will require a vaccine to develop herd immunity to this virus. Somewhere around 70% of the population would have to be immune to the virus for herd immunity to develop. Assuming for a moment that people can develop natural immunity to this virus it would only require a few months to infect the required number of people if none of the current precautions were taken. Of course, this would lead to the deaths of millions of people. And even if you can develop natural immunity to this virus, it likely will only last a few months or years based on what we know about other corona viruses. Therefore, maintaining herd immunity will likely require multiple vaccinations over a lifetime.
I dunno. The uniforms look like cheesy plastic to me. They always do. Gazillion-dollar movies, and the uniforms always look like plastic to me. Star Wars is unwatchable for me, because of the cheesy plastic uni’s.
I hope, at least, the logo is good.

vWhat you call ‘cheesy plastic’ is actually an advanced space-age polymer that provides Imperial Storm Troopers protection from anything except Rebel blaster fire or an angry Wookie.
Besides, it looks really cool.
Cheesy plastic indeed.
The next thing you’ll tell me is that the carrot creature on ‘Lost in Space’ didn’t look real.
