43. I use the term as lightly as I could

...did you miss the kerfuffle about Biden's age?

With the binary choice in the general election, there wasn't any issue that should have caused Democrats to withhold their votes, but that was the threat and result after bashing both Biden and Harris on a number of issues that could only be addressed by a Democratic presidency and worsened by a republican one.

I don't see ANY value in going back over those in this discussion. Moreover, they can only be remedied in a Democratic majority.

...as I wrote:

Whatever people want to see happen in Congress happens legislatively, not performatively. It only happens with a Democratic majority, and, that only happens by practicing ADDITION (of Dems), not subtraction.
