I'd settle for just curing cancers, neurodegen diseases and having a sleeping helmet, tbh.
As a starting point, at least.

I just don't know about Biden's China stance, though. His recent comments are worrying.

This tough stance on China wasn't something that Trump initiated, it began with Obama. The TTP was part of Obama's administration plan to contain China.

I expect it will continue to be policy, no matter which president comes into office.

can "dignity" and "moral" fill your belly, or heal you? Can that stop USA wars, all over the earth? Does that do anything about Climate Change? I mean, there are so many urgent tasks at hand, and I cannot find him saying anything
I'm so surprised, in fact, how this emptiness and platitudes can have so many American supporting it? But then again, I do not really trust the polls that have come out recently.
So Hillary lost vs Trump, and now Biden tried the same concept. Amazing stuff :cry: Biden want to go back to what you had before Trump got elected, and doesn't seem to reflect on that was actually what got Trump elected in the first place. :!:
I mean, its probably good news for the elites and the establishment, but it was not those ppl who turned the 2016 election to favor Trump, instead of Hillary. Remember, she also ran on conserving everything as is, while so many Americans really cannot stand the status quo.

When I google Biden and his policies, I can find many good things he said in the past years, but I really have not heard him say anything about those after announcing that he is "Running". Maybe some of you have more info than me on this?
I just cannot see him saying anything, I mean ANYTHING except that he doesn't like racism and the alt-right. That will not do, and I am anticipating more info before I can say how I will perceive him. I have been asked @fightinfrenchman if I would prefer Trump over Biden. I mean, I think I have been pretty clear, and saying that any of the Dems would be preferred over Trump :ear: [size=50](Being asked about this, feels kind of insulting, after 70 pages in this thread)[/size]

As of now, I am concerned about his collection money, where he shouldn't, tbh.

I know you did not make that, @fightinfrenchman, but I guess you posted it as being a reflection of what you think :idea: . You will probably never respond to what you mean by "lawful evil" or "neutral evil", but those 2 candidates, are my favorites, Go, Sanders, and Gabbard :love: :love:

btw, It could seem like the goalpost of running, has been moved by ALOT, it used to be 60.000 individual donations, but suddenly DNC has moved it to 100.000 individual donations. I wonder why? Is it to narrow down the ppl running, or keeping someones they find "annoying" out?

Tbh I think Gabbard could have a good run if she can get to the debates. But as I said, the goal posts are moved, from 60000 to 100000, and I would guess there are some shenanigans there, to keep her out. It will not work though, cos Tulsie Gabbard is getting her own supporter base, online and everywhere else. Hell, even some Republicans are supporting her for her wish to pull the USA out of wars.
She should be the DNC best choice then, cos she can unit ppl to stop wars, and use taxpayers money to invest in the USA. Quite popular :P

He thinks Elisabeth Warren has policies but he didn't attend macroeconomics 101. You can see the same understanding of macroeconomics in his age of empires 3 macro.

Just because I don't think Sanders is the best 2020 candidate? Just like that? I have explained why I prefer Pete multiple times, and it has nothing to do with policy. If you still don't understand I guess you're never going to, but I have to mention that your apparent intolerance for anyone who isn't enamored by Sanders is exactly why I don't think he is the right candidate for 2020. He has a somewhat toxic cult following, and moderates won't flock to him. He will divide voters, not unite them. As you can see, he's even dividing would-be democratic voters. To be fair that's not really his fault, and my issue is not with him. He's a great politician, and I still agree with him on almost everything, but 2020 is not his year.

The only thing Ear has ever done to you is not like Sanders. And the only thing I ever did was not prefer him for 2020. And you've attacked our moral values at every opportunity.

you could be right, but I hope you are wrong, for some sanity in this world. And I really cannot see how Sanders created "toxicity" at all. If you buy the "Bernie Broes" I get it, but I really did not think you would.

The next Potus will decide if the USA will go to war with China, Russia, and that should be on the ballot. I have no doubt that Biden will be warmongering, and I have no doubt that Sanders, Gabbard or even Warren, would be against useless wars overseas.
I would listen carefully to Biden's speeches, and I fear he would further Obama's wars, all over the freaking globe.
