Definitely not "great" but adequate for the times, and maybe not even that. At the time of the election he was not an election denier, open proud bigot, who would let the country burn around him just so he could have a few more people chant his name to fuel his ego. He also at the very least is willing to live in reality. Willing to listen to experts who have spent decades mastering their fields. Is not part of the continued genocidal campaign against trans individuals. Willing to seek solutions to our current economic woes beyond just more money for billionaires. Able to admit when he is wrong, like a functional adult does. While their might be some weird hair touching or something, he's not a open and proud rapist. Believes vaccines are good. Seems to be a loving and caring father and husband. Doesn't take joy in political violence being enacted against his opponents.

Definitely not perfect, definitely not going to be the greatest president ever. But yes, you are being disingenuous or a fucking moron equating the two sides.

Ads like this aren't meant to sway. They're meant to reinforce. People with undefendable ideologies are looking for anything that will reinforce their stance so they don't have to change.

What's silly about ads like that are most illegals who come to this country fly here and stay versus crossing our borders on the ground. So, build more fences...

Ahhhh, sorry, I failed to realize I was being addressed by my morally superior and obviously smarter, (just ask you, everyone says so) rando on Reddit, a lefty bullshit echo chamber. My bad. Carry on.

See what? My knowledge of this administrations lies, fentanyl proliferation and the open border didn’t come from a 30 second ad. I don’t even know who this lady is. My point was simply what I stated, which is the three main talking points the republicans are using to stump with prior to the election and it’s not Canada. Democrats have done such a shitty job with everything that folks are fed up. I don’t need to be on one side or the other to point this out. Just because democrats are losing a lot of political ground to republicans, it does not mean things will magically, suddenly get better. It just means the pendulum swung their direction because of how shitty the democrats did. I’m curious what stupid reply you will now have for me.

I assume you are calling me an idiot. Whatever.

I’m not a republican or a democrat.

One of the things most notable about current democrats is they are all practicing confession by projection.

There is a term that suits you, however. Stalin coined it. Useful idiot.

It’s a general reference to the southern border which is virtually open. Industrial scale fentanyl production is occurs in Mexico with the aid of Chinese precursor chemicals. The cartel’s networks move fentanyl and all drugs pretty much freely once it’s inside the US. Fentanyl is now prolific. In a small nearby community fentanyl laced pills were found in a first graders backpack, left there by parents. The problem is probably worse than you think.

Washington is a democrat stronghold, highly affected by their version of politics. In general, there are three disasters the Republicans are using to prop up their candidates: lies of the Biden administration, inflation and crime. The open border disaster is part of the crime angle.
