    Many on the left criticized Obama for trying to reach out and accommodate Republicans. That was one reason why he ended up getting along so well with Boehnor and why McCain respected him enough to ask in his will that he speak at his funeral.

    I didn't vote for Obama the first time, but I did vote for him the second time. I can see myself voting for Romney and McCain (until he selected his VP). Since Trump and the GOP party shifted to him, it's very hard for me to vote for any Republicans, except perhaps in local races. I don't miss the old days of politics, but they were 10000% better than today.

    did you vote for McCain?

    if you didn't vote for Obama, and "can see yourself voting for McCain"...who did you vote for in 2008?

    Not after his VP selection. I didn't vote in 2008. Wasn't a fan of Obama.

    if don't vote you don't get to complain.

    but I suspect you weren't old enough to vote in 2008, and just don't want to admit it.

    Right and perhaps I missed when Biden called them losers or denigrated their service like Trump. Politics has always been rough just look at what Lee Atwater did. Trump has pushed it to a new level with personal attacks.

    Also again another example of how you claim you don’t support Trump but will defend him quite a bit.

    where am I defending Trump?

    recognizing Biden's role in the demonization of the opposition is not a comment on Trump's fitness for office.

    Maybe if you criticized Trump 1/50th of what you criticize Biden, I'd buy the sauce you're selling.

    But I don't see you feeling worried about Trump winning. Your posting shows us that. Or as you like to say to others....we know who you are.

    Why would I only get to complain if I had voted in 2008? And what complaints are you talking about?

    I don't mind being 33 or younger, but I'm not.

    I thought you were better than this, but I guess not.

    This is just so, so, so, dumb.

    "demonization?"

    You need to walk away for a while.

    it's honest insight. like Donald Trump, I've known who Joe Biden is for a very long time.

    20 years of unserious behavior should not have been rewarded with this assumption.
