    While I see your point, it hinges on voting for Hunter Biden in lieu of Trump. I can’t say I would – I know little of Hunter Biden’s policy stances --, but I find it very far fetched to believe Hunter would get the nomination over another democratic politician, so it seems like the argument is pointless.

      And Doc Brown was surprised Ronald Reagan ran. I was surprised Hillary came back in 2016 after 08, I was surprised trump was a candidate in 16, 20, and 24. I was surprised Biden was the nomine in 2020 when he’d been trying to win a presidential primary since 1988 and never made it to the general.

      The party has been openly saying for like a decade they can not only rig the primary, they can just ignore results and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them

      I’m just wondering what your think will change where all of a sudden candidates stop getting worse.

      And why your line for Hunter is “smoked crack, lied about it, admitted it”.

      While Biden is literally funding and assisting with a genocide, while lying about it and breaking US and international law. And is committing the same human rights abuses at our border, that we all complained about when Trump did.

      Like, c’mon man. It’s just crack…

      You think crack is worse than genocide and human rights abuses that are in violation of US and international law?

        You know that movie was a work of fiction and that was a joke, right?

        Reagan had already been heavily involved in politics by 1955. He wasn’t running for office yet, but it wouldn’t have been a surprise at all. The only thing Doc Brown would have been surprised about was that Reagan supported things like nuclear escalation and was so against labor unions during his presidency.

        You keep bringing up Genocide like it’s a factor?

        Trump not only supports but encourages it. And wants to bring it here against the evil brown people…
