UNITE BEHIND JOE BIDEN? YOU MUST BE JOKING.
Powerline ^ | NOVEMBER 7, 2020 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 11/07/2020 3:50:39 PM PST by Hojczyk

Biden’s election will be welcomed only by those who voted for him. And even among this group, it will not universally be celebrated.

For the rest of the nation, and certainly for anyone who is right of center, the idea of uniting behind Joe Biden is laughable. Why, after the way President Trump was treated, should any of his supporters consider uniting behind Biden? Indeed, quite apart from the treatment of Trump, how can we be expected to unite around a nasty, corrupt, and dishonest president who might not even have won the votes necessary to make it to the White House under fair voting procedures and honest counting?

The real question for conservatives is to extent to which we should “resist” a Biden presidency. Specifically, I think the question is whether we should resist it with the same intensity and tactics (minus the lying) that Democrats used to resist Trump.

I have offered my preliminary views about resisting Biden’s judicial nominees and his selections to staff his administration. I will have more to say on the question of resistance in the coming days.

In any case, if Joe Biden thinks he can “unite” America, his mind is even more addled than I thought.

Honest question though, was there a candidate running that COULD have united us? Trump? He’s pretty polorizing

Maybe a “moderate” Democrat or Republican was the only option if uniting the country was the goal

Democrats could care less about ANYTHING you care about. Even moderates.

I will never unite with Biden/Harris. They stole this election, pure and simple, and they will have my everlasting scorn.

Let’s see who turns out to be the winner of this election before we start talking about this crap. It’s letting the Left set the narrative that Biden has won and it’s over.

Joe is just the placeholder. Nancy will remove him via 25th amendment to seat Harris as President.

Me, too; except for companies in which I have stock. :)

Never. They have been exposed for the cheating frauds that they are.

I previously wondered why Biden was chosen as the candidate. I finally realized it was because he is corrupt enough to go along with this massive fraud on the American people.

I will give Biden the same respect that the Democrats gave President Trump the past 4 years.

Powerline is a great site with three great writers, John Hinderaker, Steven Hayward, and Scott Johnson. Paul Mirengoff is their fourth writer and he is a clown. All have their strengths, Paul has none. He is a wordy, verbose clown who never learned to write, but that is typical of a lawyer. While the article does not say to “unite behind Biden,” it does say to accept the results. Phooey!!! Go back to English 101 Paul.

Joe Biden is a corrupt and despicable man.

Exactly right. Perhaps the stupidest person ever to be a major party nominee, and probably just behind Bill and Hillary Clinton for the most corrupt politician in recent times in America.

Everything Biden says is either an outright lie, misleading, plagiarized, or a platitude.

The only one who comes out ahead (apart from the Biden family) if Biden takes office on Jan. 20, 2021, is James Buchanan, who gets bumps out of last place in the Presidential rankings.

I cannot unite behind Biden even if he had won without voter fraud. He’s been too decisive and too dishonest and honestly way too shady.
