You can not have a thought experiment with those who do not think.

As to Joe Biden, in and of himself? There is no sound reason on earth to vote for him.

No, there is not. AndI think most liberals would agree.

They are not voting for Joe--they are voting against Donald.

I stopped talking politics with friends many, many years ago.

Its not worth it. They are not educating themselves. It is difficult to ask relevant questions without having them get defensive and hateful.

Who needs that?

Wouldn’t a thought experiment require them to think...?

Does. Not. Matter.

Their TV has told them that orange man bad, and that they’ll FEEL better with a president Biden.

That’s all they need.

This is only of value if you have a strong reason to think the person is capable of thinking. They probably are not, since they are liberal. Most of them are NPC’s. Only spend time on the ones who might have the ability to think.

I actually tried this on one friend, and she decided, after some hemming and hawing, that his stance on abortion was the deciding factor for her.

> ask them why they support Joe Biden and to do so without making reference in any way to Donald Trump <

I don’t know if this is such a good argument. Back in 2012 I voted for Mitt Romney. If you asked me to defend my vote without mentioning Obama I couldn’t do it. No way could I do it. Yet I think my choice was perfectly fine.

Leftard loons hate reason and reality and choose not to think. They are emotionalists and social metaphysicians and trying to talk rationally to them is a waste of time and effort.

What few liberal friends I have it's been made clear politics are not on the table for discussion. We'd just be talking past each other and thinking each other is an idiot.

On another note, I have noticed in the past few years that when I meet new people they try very quickly in subtle ways to find out where I am politically.

Washington D.C. has infused its rotten self into everything - friendships, sports, school, even my spin class (when it was allowed to be open, that is).

They have "their facts", backed up by the MSM, and won't listen to what they consider "your facts" - so there really isn't much basis for discussion.

But a non-political relative recently saw a profile on Melania Trump and was amazed at all the good things she had been doing, asking me: "Why haven't I ever heard about this before?"

Why, indeed...

You will just get the same as always. He and Dems are for the little guy not the rich.

“...Perhaps your liberal friends will discuss Biden’s support of African Americans?...”

All these so called Liberals are suddenly obsessed by a ‘radical pedigree’ none of them ever bothered to cultivate.

They ought to remember that for decades now, a great many of their speeches and a complete record of their ‘so called’ support for American minorities would be openly and readily available on line...AND, they’d be force-feeding it to us daily (even hourly).... IF it existed! Nothing like that has happened or WILL!

So why they still insist on spewing such howling lies is beyond me.

Hi.

I posted on my Facebook page a similar question about a week ago. Not one answer.
