Your two posts on this are quite contradictory.
Perhaps you could work on your writing to clarify your intentions with far less ambiguity.
Just a suggestion.
As a reminder, here is what you wrote:
"At any rate, if Biden gets though this campaign without being forced to clearly and unambiguously answer the question, "As long as you are determined to be medically and mentally fit for office, do you promise to the American people to complete your 4-year term?" it's going to be a sad state of affairs for our country."
You are basically saying that the nation would suffer grievously if one of the candidates is not "forced" to answer what is basically an insulting and impertinent question. Has any other presidential candidate been so required? It presupposes that the candidate in question tacitly agrees to regular medical and mental health examinations, which most certainly are not required by any clause in our constitution. There is a constitutional process for temporarily substituting a president if he or she is found unable to perform the duties of the office. As I understand it, that was enacted after Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke while he was still president, and his wife was rumored to be acting in his stead. All a candidate for president really need do today is to affirm, upon inauguration, that they will uphold the Constitution, which would, necessarily, include that provision.
No more really needs to be "forced" upon a candidate, and I'm shocked that you seem to think it does.
You continually fail to understand so much because of your blind, binary view of politics. It makes discussion with you nearly impossible at times because you do not understand what people are saying to you. You will doubtless claim some kind of victory here, either on the board or in your head, but I have no desire to beat my head against the wall of your blind worldview. Good night.
Captain Obtuse strikes again!
And he flounces off in a huff.
"Well, I never!"...
Do you realize how silly you appear?

At least you get points for consistency. That never fails to disappoint. Look, I'm taking an LNF break anyway. Teaching during COVID leaves little free time and spending it here while people debate which guy is going to win...well, I'd rather do other things with what little free time I have. I'll find out which one wins in the natural course of time. Either the guy I want to see lose or the guy I don't want to see win. You do you, Odysseus, but I was 100% serious about my comment. You do not understand what I say. It's not because I think I'm smart and you're dumb. Nor is it because I'm unclear. It's because your binary view colors what you expect me to say before you read it. Your expectations fail you constantly. I'll probably be back eventually. Or not. We'll see. I know you don't care, that wasn't meant for you. Oh, feel free to describe this as me "leaving in a huff" as well if it amuses you. |

Oh, don't go away mad.
Just go away.
But, before you do, don't forget to delete your "maestromod" account too.
You're welcome.

If black voters always vote for the black candidate, what happened to President Cain? How about a President West? The truth is, the racist BS peddled by the white wing has always been wrong, and never less wrong than the racist white creeps on LNF are now. You know who you are. Pathetic. you braindead moron try to keep up blacks vote for BLACK DEMOCRATS Blacks are the perfect example of Racism they vote for a person's skin color not their Qualifications. |

What's pathetic? People have the right to vote for anybody they want for ANY reason they want. You going to claim many White voters didn't vote for Obama not because he was Black? Greg Yes, one can cast a vote for any reason that they choose. But casting that vote simply because he/she has a politically correct ethnicity is both unintelligent and racist. It's also idiotic to vote against someone because of their race. If a Caucasian male had a record and history similar to that of Harris, he would be deemed unqualified and probably would never have been considered. Racial, sexual, and gender identity as a qualifier for high office is as despicable as it gets. We are a lesser country and society for succumbing to such pandering.
What a load. You've had White males running for public office for YEARS and got elected simply because they were WHITE and suddenly you think that's un-American? Seriously?

Not only is that a bizarre thing to say, it is wrong.
Wanting the person, or people, in the white house to look, act, and think like you could not be more normal or reasonable.
Racism is when you feel your race is better than another one, not when you support your own race's equality in society.
