I completely agree, it’s a simple metric and one that charisma plays a role in. If that’s all you use to judge someone it’s going to be a small part of the story.

To be fair “have a beer with” is about trust.

If I can’t sit down with you, have a beer, and enjoy myself, I can’t trust you. A president is going to encounter unknown challenges and I need to trust them to solve it.

That being said Trump fails that test immediately. There is no version of “having a beer” with Trump where I could trust him.

Biden however? If you asked the average American what they know about Biden one of the top three answers is “having a beer”, it’s called “grabbing an ice cream” but the principal is the same.

We know Trump is a liar.

Biden had to prove he wasn’t feeble… and he failed at that.

Voting for Biden and his administration is still 100% the correct decision, but that debate isn’t going to convince any swing voters. If you want to use the incumbency advantage you need to convince folks you can stay the course for the next 4 years.

You know who just had the opportunity to focus on what Trump did (and is doing) wrong and flubbed it? Biden.

A vote for Biden is the easiest decision I’ll make this year. Biden and his administration are doing solid work and I want to see more of it. Trump ensures genocide in Gaza. Trump ensures even more horrible acts in Ukraine by Russia. Trump ensures an even further conservative Supreme Court, further destroying and reversing settled law. Another 4 years of Trump will be a disaster.

But I know this already.

Any other generic Democrat would have kicked Trump’s ass last night. Trump tells a lie, they correct it. Biden got a few blows in but he flubbed so many more.

Look at abortion, a layup for Democrats. America as a whole agrees with Democrats on the issue. What did Biden do? Fumbled and wandered into something about immigration.

The focus on Biden because we want better. Biden is better. Prove it.

Green on red is classic complementary colors.

Lol, that’s exactly what I thought of too. Assuming https://legiscan.com/LA/text/HB71/2024 is correct I think my image fits the legal requirements.

It does specify specific text, but it doesn’t say I can’t add additional text.

Also it has to be easily readable.

Nobbleberry is my favorite show.

You’re allowed to criticize Biden and the Democratic Party.

Without a doubt voting for Trump is the biggest mistake anyone can make. It you’re not happy about the Israel situation Trump is the worst person to solve it. Trump’s answer is “kill them all” and with no regard for innocent lives, children or civilians. It’s continued genocide and it is not acceptable. Trump can’t be reasoned with because he isn’t a reasonable person.

Biden and the Democratic Party, that’s the answer. However it’s stupid to ignore the millions in money that have come their way. Biden and Democrats aren’t perfect, far from it. But they are reasonable, they can be reasoned with.

No single individual or single election is going to solve all our problems. It’s a long process. Biden has done plenty of good, as have Democrats. But Biden and Democrats can do better.

Lots of things are illegal in China, I’m confident many (all?) do have this level of cultural awareness. The great firewall is good, but not perfect.

As the party cleric, “Heal me” is met with “I shall avenge you!” and magic all around.

You want healing? Pray to your own God.

This reminds me of a similar joke from AIM days.

You could tell your friends that you were going to “hack” their computer.

They would of course not believe you.

You would then send them a few images that looked hackery and a few that were broken.

The broken images were actually a link to “A:/fakeimage.jpg” and “D:/fakeimage.jpg”.

This would cause A drive, the common “floppy” drive, to turn on and look for a fake image for a few seconds. As I recall this worked even with no disk inserted and made a bunch of noise.

Similarly the D drive, the common CD drive, would spin up, also making noise. I believe this did require a disk in the drive, but at the time everyone always had some form of disk in the drive.

What you had really done was nothing, but making your friends computer make noise unexpectedly was still funny.
