      Trump decided to run in February 2021. He announced his campaign before Biden's move to white house was complete. His team knew that his actions will have consequences and election interference claim is the only excuse left to escape the justice and they spent a ton of money on delay tactics.

    This is why I love Bill. And I am an right leaning libertarian/conservative type. I just love him even if I don't always have to agree with him. I get him, he gets me, and I think I enjoy co-existing with him. We represent all of America and it's nuance. After all, conservative and liberal ideas - even if competing - are equally American, inherently. We need to get back to that understanding. Even as an conservative, I see America as an progressive experiment in which it's citizens free themselves over time. I like Trump, but he's just a guy. Beyond this person, there's a lot to agree upon. We have to get back to a place where we love being Americans again, even if we have our disagreements from time to time on how best to manage our country and help our fellow citizens that we share an planet with. I just want both sides to at least have the same goal of wanting to help their fellow citizen, first and foremost, regardless if there's a debate about how to get there.

    I agree with Bill that diversity strengths us but within reason. There are certain people we should be allowed to hate if they are toxic (engaged in unprovoked murder, kidnappings, sexual abuse, other forms of abuse, and genocide) and if they threaten the state our democracy and the basic American values we all share. I don't hate every Trump supporter unless they attack me for my beliefs and want me to accept their beliefs. I always say respect is earned but you never have to accept someone's beliefs because agreeing with everyone is people-pleasing. People who earn respect deserve kindness, love, and equal rights. People who take advantage of others without showing any form of remorse and continue to do things despite asking people to stop deserve to be treated like garbage because "you get what's coming at you" and "if the shoe fits, wear it" and "we must call a spade a spade".

    Would love YOUR THOUGHT: We are still living with #45’s negative effect on our country in numerous ways. Here are some : lowering taxes on corporations; lowering regulations which leads to consumer products being made of lower quality; overturning Roe v. Wade affecting/effecting health rights for many groups; treasonous behavior with our nation’s enemies; Trump’s Administration corruption & inadequate leadership; effects on National Security; ignoring Climate Change & Pandemic practice solutions; and so much more

      The center is in reference to being a moderate, which I consider myself, but that is in correlation to the original values of the democratic and republican parties.
      The Republican party, as it is today, are not conservatives or based on conservative values, it is now maga, based on maga ideology, which is not conservatism, it is authoritarian.

    I am a centrist Democrat. I’d never vote for Trump. President Biden has done a good job as president but he has not been able to get that point across in almost four years. Is it his age? Is it how old he looks? All I know is that preventing Trump from getting a second presidency is too important to leave to such an obviously weak candidate and campaign. No-one can tell you what 4 more years of Biden would be. Nor can they tell you what 3.5 years of Biden has been. President Biden and Vice President Harris should gracefully bow out. Kamala Harris should be nominated for the Supreme Court. It is time to draft California Governor Newsom at the convention. Pete Buttigieg or someone else can be his vice president. They should run on a slogan “Middle Class Time is Now,” and run on the following issues:
    #1 Big Middle Class Tax Cut
    #2 Bring down the Cost of Living
    1. Bring house prices down by getting more housing built
    2. Beat Inflation
    #3 Fight for Freedom
    1. More Defense spending to grow our Navy and fight against the global menace of Authoritarianism.
    2. Make Roe the Law of the land
    3. Fight for the Rule of Law at home and abroad upholding the Rules Based International System.
    #4 Safe America:
    1. Hire 100,000 more cops to fight crime.
    2. Urban Peace Corp: Jobs for people to work 911First responders for people with mental illness
    3. Protect Social Security for our seniors.
    #5 Middle Class Opportunity
    1. Big Tax credits for college
    2. Big tax credits to start a small business
    3. Leverage this money to force colleges to DECREASE tuition.

Fighting for the working folks to get a better deal. That includes better pay, affordable healthcare....Preferably Medicare for all at the very least. Housing and education also have to be attainable to the majority. Education is the key to getting out of poverty and it cannot be just something that the well to do can achieve. I want all this for all, no matter what you skin color is or your sexual orientation. It used to be mostly the right that tried to separate us all, now the left do it as well.....Maybe even more now.

      @@joejr.michaels1731 No he is not right. He is just a typical American who is too selfish to allow anything to bother his fun time playing games and watching TMZ. If his friend was a pregnant girl due to a rape and couldn’t abort it because of republican laws he might have seen the difference. I can go on with many other examples, how one party way of thinking directly impacts people lives. In a harmful way. Stuff that he calls “stupid stuff” has had serious consequences, including death.
      No, if you care about anyone else in the world other than yourself you try to take the smallest step by educating your friend. Most likely they won’t listen but you won’t reward their lack of empathy by sweeping it under the rug and normalizing bad behavior.

      Exactly. People who obsess with politics nonstop and need everyone to agree with them seem very unhappy.

    We're supposed to feel like persons who believe Trump won in 2020 are fine people to respectfully listen to and discuss things with? Or people who support a con man liar criminal of a candidate? Maher likes to spout things like this to make him feel superior, but this one makes him look naive.
