    So many people are so lost it's ridiculous. I can write and write and still can't get through to people because they refuse to learn anything. Republican-Conservatives think this is a black-white issue because that is what you are told. They throw religion, family, law and order, illegal immigrants, and every other shadow they can to keep you away from the real action.

    Republicans in office today are about making rich people richer. Everything is geared that way and has been for all government since the 1970's. Progressive Democrats influenced mainstream and Biden and an expected executive branch and hopefully a working Congress can fix some of the problems and get at least 2/3 of people on the same page.

    I'm older white. I campaigned for and contributed to Pete Buttigieg. His following was a mix of old and young of many ethnic and races. He's working with Biden. Biden is mostly "Not Trump" as 33% of the country plus another 17%.

    He has 7% of lifelong Republicans also included.

    Trump has:

    Greedy wealthy, hateful and scared racists and xenophobes, gun lovers that guns are above anything else, and a cult of under-educated that like rallies and believe what Trump tweets and says. That's about 43% of the USA.

    Blacks have been discriminated against forever basically.

    I support BLM, but not defunding police nor any violence. As to some knocked down statues or roughing up some streets, that is nothing compared with the $1 Trillion in Federal bonds handed to rich people per year since 2018.

     My answer is huge already, and I hardly touched anything.

    Minimum wage is 40% too low by inflation. ALL of the nation's gains since 1980 have gone to the top 10% of wealthy. Both parties did it. Republicans are still trying to feed rich people more. Democrats have some people looking to fix things.

    BLM has nothing whatever to do with the reason people are choosing Biden.  They can't stand Trump and his chaos.

    Trump is going to eliminate social security and Medicare that seniors need to live.

    Biden is mentally and physically shot. A blind person can see that.

    Sure.  With age comes wisdom and experience.

    Older Americans do not trust Trump with Social Security.  It seems like Trump is trying to do away with it.

    According to a Quinnipiac poll from October 7, Biden leads Trump 55% to 40% among people over 65 in Florida. Polls can be wrong. But they can also be right.

    No, they just don't like it when a president and a political party treats them like sacrificial pawns.

    Most of us do support BLM. We are voting for Biden because he is a much better candidate. We are tired of trump and his scandals, a new one every day.
