Quick informal poll: Are you pro-Biden or pro-Trump?

I'm a new member here and looking forward to meeting new people and having some interesting discussions. 🙂

I have a question I'd like to ask about the upcoming presidential election and the candidates, but before doing that I decided to test the waters by having an informal poll, or a virtual "show of hands" if you will.

For those of you willing to "humor" the newbie and possibly participate in my future discussion about the pending election, please be so kind as to reply to this post with a simple one-word reply.

QUESTION: If the election was held today, who would you vote for - Trump or Biden?

Again, please limit your reply to the name of the candidate you support. No need to explain why you think your candidate would make a better president or why the other candidate is a complete loser only an idiot would vote for. Let's save those arguments for another time. I'd just like to get a rough idea of what percentage of members support Trump and what percentage support Biden.

Thanks so much!

I'm just an interested observer who is glad not to have to make this decision

Biden/Harris, and welcome to the forum. Who is your choice?

welcome Dixie

for me it is much more complex than for or against . 2016 I was a never Trumper who wrote in my choice . Gun to my head I would vote for Trump over Quid Pro Joe (aka Biden) . My vote doesn't count anyway because I live in the single party dictatorship of New York .

Trump. Not a great fan of Trump, but an intelligent robot would be better than Biden who seems to believe that 200 million people have died from Covid.

LOL, obviously the conservatives don't want to follow the directions given by the poster. They're ready to RUMBLE! 8D

Can't blame them...I'm ready to ROCK and RUMBLE myself!

Originally I was going to refrain from posting my choice for a few days until I saw how many others were willing to chime in... I was worried that members who supported the opposing candidate might decide to NOT participate, thinking that I might try to steer the conversation in a direction favoring my candidate of choice. But after reading your question and re-thinking my initial decision to keep mum about my personal choice I finally decided, "Why not?" After all, what is the point of a good debate/discussion if NOT to try and convince others of the "rightness" of your opinion? Lol.

Although not a fan initially (and still not a HUGE fan) I support Trump. That said, I will save my reasons and arguments for later discussion.

Thanks for participating!

Ahhhh, so I'm not the only one who picked up on that! I've seen so many posts about Trump's inaccuracies (at best) and/or lies (at worst) that I was beginning to wonder if anyone was paying attention to any of Biden's balderdash. Lol.

Oops, violating my own stipulation of simple answers, save the arguments for later. Lol.

🤐

Thanks for the welcome Tom. Thanks for participating!

TRUMP, the greatest orange man of the century (however young it may be)

That made me laugh out loud. Bumper stickers?? "Vote for Trump, the greatest orange man of the century!"

Welcome aboard, Dixie. Going on your name, I had you pegged as a left winger. Thanks for the nice surprise.

I look forward to hearing your reasons and arguments for supporting Trump. It's always a curiosity to me that anyone who is aware of Trump's filthy behavior can support him. But I'm willing to listen.

Ok folks, I'm back! Sorry for disappearing without warning or explanation. I'm sure some of you probably thought this southern girl decided she'd bitten off more than she could chew and turned tail and ran. Nope, nothing like that. Simply a case of equipment failure (my desktop crashed) coinciding with extenuating circumstances (a family matter requiring my immediate and undivided attention.) I just now managed to get both situations back under control and this is the first time I've been back to the website in almost a month.

I haven't even taken the time tothoughtfully read your posts, but I did do a quick skim and it sounds like it could be interesting if everyone's interest hasn't wained while I was away. I'm going to try to catch up and post some replies this evening if you'd like to check back later and see what the new girl has to say. Lol.

Thanks for the warm welcome. And again, my apologies for my unexpected absence.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
(In my best Minnie Pearl voice. Ha!)

Hang in there, "new girl".

Nothing has changed to change my earlier opinion

I've already voted and didn't have to hold my nose to vote for OLE JOE!

too old to have a sense of smell, eh, no matter, the stench is the same from either side

Didn't have to hold your nose to support abortion? Sad.

The ones that don't get aborted have always been a higher priority.

that's your excuse?

So you think it's a much better idea you have to just kill them? Well, while you're at it you might as well kill the ones who have been born and yet are unloved and unwanted. I mean if that's your standard, that unloved and unwanted babies have no right to be alive, then perhaps you should go ahead and press on with it.

You're honest about it. I guess I'll give you that.

With a system like that the tally would be 50 million, 100 million but you sure would solve your poverty and drug problem

That's what Trump does, especially with babies that aren't white, but even white ones.

Oh, that was sarcasm from me. Apparently, you don't know the difference in tones. Plus, you really whipped up my comment into quite a screed.

That's a ridiculous assertion for which you have no evidence. Just more TDS.

You really need to keep up with the news!

...about how well we care for the born babies that are unwanted and unloved -- pssst, we don't.

Yeah, yeah. That's always the reply. "Keep up with the non-existent news."

Quote:

Another ridiculous statement. You notice any "unwanted and unloved" babies set out to die? Of course they are taken care of.

I didn't think you do.

No, they aren't "set out to die." They are mentally and physically abused in those "loving" homes.

Rant on about those aborted babies maybe a million, while you abuse the hundred million that are actually born, like the dead beat right wing self righteous one trick pony that you are. Don't bother denying it, like you deny everything except your own narrow view of the world and the people in it, because any loon who thinks it's okay to force choices on women and send a kid to jail without humane due process isn't playing with a full deck to begin with. So say what you want about whatever turns your crank but yet again we are talking about politics but all you know is abortions and to be frank, very little about that either so you may as well save the bullying for those that want it since obviously it ain't happening here.

It's no ones fault but yours you're stuck in the world of ancient man who lived in a desert and the concepts TV, radio, and internet are beyond you, which explains your total lack of empathy and understanding of people in the real world in real time, which can only mean you got life and BS all mixed up.

If you were serious about saving babies you'd be passing our free birth control but NOOOOOO, that's not an option is it? Good luck stopping people from having sex though, which is the only way to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. I think you would be better served sticking a bible up the dufus a$$ rather than your own head for a few bucks and a big stick to beat people over the head that you can't control.

So pull your nose holding head out of his arse and get a TV that has the NEWS or learn to use the Internet. That would help.

Follow non-existent news? Kind of hard to do.

We can agree that it is tragic. Just goes to show that our culture needs a lot of change. But when you support those who support abortion, can you really say you are setting a good example? Does killing unborn children somehow make you feel better about child neglect and abuse?

I have never said I'm pro-abortion.

Out of facts, so resort to insults. Got it.

You are voting for a radical pro-abortionist as you did in 2016. What's the difference?

It exists so you either don't know where to look, know it exists but don't acknowledge it, or dismiss it and attack those that do acknowledge it.

Does your example of supporting a lying cheating abusive bully dufus for a few bucks and activists judges make you feel better? You have reduced a complex issue down to an accusation that helps no one. You have the nerve to be so self righteous about it on top of that? That doesn't make you right and others wrong.

I am? I've never said whom I'm voting for. Or whom I voted for in 2016. Maybe your leg is getting pulled.

People often confuse pro-abortion with pro-choice.

A person who is pro-choice supports letting the woman decide whether she should have an abortion. They also tend to be against abortion except in the instance just mentioned, and in other exceptions such as incest and rape. The majority of pro-choice people are, in fact, personally against abortion.

I believe this is the stated position of WG here.

It's much easier to see pro-choice as pro-abortion since it requires some thought to examine the differences.
