That first link is ridiculous, because it’s not about democrats liking Bush, but about democrats pining for a sane candidate again as opposed to trump. I said the same things back then. I hate Bush, but at least he was sane. Your article isn’t about democrats liking Bush, but about them hating trump so very much, even the notorious Bush seemed decent by comparison, and that’s saying something.

How did we move from the 2A to you niggling over the student loan issue, which is most of your links? Do you even care about the student loan issue? I’ll bet you don’t, and it’s such a small part of what Biden has done, I can’t help but think you’re being disingenuous in bringing it up.

Come on, be real with me. What’s your real issue here?

A sane candidate like Bush, you know, the one who lied to get us into two wars. The guy who pushed for a border fence. The guy at the helm when the great recession hit. The guy who did nothing in the face of hurricane katrina. Yeah, very sane. If you paid attention to policy, you'd notice that Trump's policies are merely a continuation of Bush's.

I talked about the student loan issue because you asked how your lists were padded and fluffed up. You claim they're such a small part of what Biden has done, yet this one issue has taken up at least five different lines of one of your little lists and I noticed this right away from a simple glance. The only one being disingenuous is you, who clearly has some agenda when you've made a community just to hold your padded lists. Would you like me to continue picking apart your lists?

My real issue is how you're trying to present Biden and the democrats in general as saviors when really they're part of the problem. People are still miserable and out-of-touch democrats claiming "no, no, everything is great now because the president is a blue guy" are not helping. How about we get some real solutions?

Did you miss the part where I said I hated Bush? Why are you so angry about that? Why are you so angry at me?

We probably want the same things. I’m just not angry about it at people I haven’t met, like you. I’m not afraid of people because people I also haven’t met are telling me to be.

You sound like a smart person. Stop arguing with someone you don’t know on the internet and start thinking about why you’re being manipulated to be angry at people like me. I’m not trying to take anything from you, I promise.
