"We've always brought the country together. 'We the people, we hold these truths to be self-evident.' (Trump) flies in the face of all the basic things that we've never really met the standard (of, but) we've never abandoned it before," Biden said. "He looks like he's just flat abandoned the theory that we are one people."
Riiiiiight. Never really met...or tried to meet. Why try to meet it when you can have the rich on one side and the French fry servers on the other. We're one people, 'cept some of us are more 'one' than others. Moooooo.
"Biden on Monday also doubled down on his support for a new assault weapons ban and suggested his administration would try to create a buyback program to get those weapons off the street."
Riiiiiight. That'll work. The crazies will be ALL over that.
"Biden was clear that he would not seek to confiscate privately owned or purchased guns, instead advocating for "a national buyback program" intended to get the weapons "off the street."
You can vote for me because the laws I make won't matter.
"The fact of the matter is (assault weapons) should be illegal. Period," Biden said. "The Second Amendment doesn't say you can't restrict the kinds of weapons people can own. You can't buy a bazooka. You can't have a flame-thrower."
The 2nd amendment ALSO says you can't restrict hand guns either: clubs are arms. Ban ALL hand guns too!
Good ol' creepy Uncle Joe: it's safe to vote for him cos he'll do nothing to piss you off, really.... except feel your daughter's boob and sniff your wife's hair.

Funny how all the policies are about attacking rich people instead of fixing capitalism. For example, from the Wikipedia page for Sawant:
That's just a thief with pretty words. Notice that last sentence. Here's what she actually said [salon.com]:
Capitalism despite its flaws doesn't need to be global. It works well at any scale. Meanwhile her "socialist economy" needs to stamp out any potential competitors in order to work. Also note the implicit promise of a "really high" standard of living? What she doesn't mention is that it's just not possible to provide that standard of living with her scheme too.
This last bit is a common behavioral flaw of criticism of capitalism - nothing better is suggested, instead the critic moves on to their ideological hobbyhorse, ignoring that they're proposing something worse. I think this is also why so many would-be critics fantasize about the collapse of capitalism. They'd be laughed out of the room (and probably have many times), if they proposed a transition directly from a functional capitalism system to a dysfunctional socialist one. But going from a post-apocalyptic society to a socialist society is far less of a stretch.

"Capitalism despite its flaws doesn't need to be global"
But for the ultra rich to become ultra-ier rich-ier, it MUST be global: proof is in things like the TPP, that the ultra rich wrote (notice that WE little people weren't allowed to see what was in it until it was a done deal). Make job loss global and you have, globally, people willing to work 3 jobs for minimum wage.
Control the government with your money and you have governments willing to do ANYTHING you ask.
Control ALL governments and you have global ability to make money FREELY and fuck the people over.
Global capitalism is polluting the planet and screwing people over.
'Socialism' is needed to put controls on people who are out of control.

You've SEEN worse than Trump, but on you go with the moronic rhetoric. Pence is potentially worse than Trump, but the idiot left thinks they want to impeach Trump, and replace him with Pence. And, that's just on the right side - your left side has more than it's share of vacuous morons who would be nothing more than useful tools if put into office.
