What exactly about a Biden/Harris presidency terrifies you? Strong language there.

Well I am a libertarian, Both Biden and Harris are known "Tough on Crime" Authoritarians, I also oppose 99% of their platform including government run healthcare, extreme theft errr taxation, open social programs for anyone that happens to be physically located inside the boarders, their Identity / Social Justice Warrior politics, I could go on and on I support federalism, I support individual liberty, I support meritocracy. all of which they stand against

  They literally support none of those things (except maybe identity politics).

    The think tanks' efforts to brand "socialism" as authoritarianism have paid off. M4A being painted as an authoritarian nightmare is a slick trick on their part.

      Can you point me to a non-authoritarian socialist nation, now or at any point in the past... Socialism fails very quickly if not backed by an Authoritarian form of government... Only with Authoritarian enforcement can it survive and then only with extreme poverty and misery for most people.

    All of the things listed both have implicitly supported during the primary debates

  Literally every candidate must be seen as "Tough on Crime" because the public wont vote for anyone who doesn't make this appeal. This became a big Republican stance that Clinton embraced that helped him win the election. So please show me the not "tough on crime" politician that has any shot at winning an election.

    Biden and Harris have done more for mass incarceration than anyone else. Which makes their selection by the Democrat party in today's "defund the police" narrative the funniest thing to happen in politics since Howard Dean's scream.

      Describing things like this as "funny/hilarious" is a big red flag that a person is more interested in identity politics than good faith discussion.

        There it is. The shaming of an opinion. Be quiet, silent majority. Edit: Attack the messenger and you won't have to address the message.

    This was when the Republicans had majorities in both chambers of Congress, Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House, and the Republican's Contract on America was passed, unfortunately. The Democrats shifted right because they thought that's what would win them elections. Sure, Biden and Harris are terrible candidates because they're 1990s Republicans, but they're a million times better than Trump and Pence. The smear campaigns against them are an attempt to elevate Trump and Pence so he seems only as awful as Biden And Harris. Don't take the bait. Don't defend them. For a Republican to warn liberals that Biden and Harris don't deserve anyone's vote because they're those "tough on crime" types when it was Republicans who shut the government down to force through "tough on crime" legislation and codify "tough on crime" as a requisite to hold political office is some serious b.s.

  This is unrelated to a presidents attempt to reduce voting, I would think you would be pro voting
