Weird how a few of the consistent "It's not about political biases bro, I just make fun of whatever is happening" posters have been silent after last night. There's a lot of material.
I kinda want to see what would happen if both Biden and Trump dropped dead of old age in the next month or so. Like I want to save our game, do that, and reload if it gets bad enough that it's no fun anymore.
 

Watching the presidential speech has given at least one boomer a stroke and now the daughter is soliciting assistance in paying for his medical bills
 
Their best argument now is: "Well you're not voting for Biden, you're voting for a democrat White House, cabinet positions, judges etc. and we can't let Orange Man be in control of that so vote blue!"
:story: for a related Canadian example the Ontario Liberal party (think state vs. federal) tried the same tactic in 2018 when they could no longer hide their internals showing them getting ass fucked into oblivion. It backfired spectacularly and had the provincial Cons win in a greater landslide than expected.

The strategy sounds good on paper but never works in practice. You need a savvy face to the label to convince the fence sitters and right now it's Biden proudly wearing that.

This would be incredibly distasteful to Americans. Autists on Reddit might be okay with soulless technocracy but most Americans want actual democracy.
 
I don’t want to burst your bubble but our track record of developing new missile defense systems is abysmal, imagine how bad it is now. The patriot mk1 used to be globally known as hot garbage that didn’t work. It’ll be a money pit, another wall.
We still have to cultivate an effective domestic arms industry. But they need to cut costs and stop robbing the American taxpayer.

Again I hate to break it to you. But that’ll never happen. I’ve worked in the defense industry, you get fired if you speak up. The most Trump will do is open small arms factories.
