As an undecided moderate who lives in a swing state and posts TL;DR in response to anything over 500 words, I must say that while I find Trump to be an icky person, I do like that his agenda is simple, direct, easy to read and doesn’t challenge me to engage with an issue that I don’t understand very well.

Also with this platform discussion, y'all are mistaking the intended audiences. The long-winded campaign website blabber tends to be grist for campaign reporters and networks, disguised as "here are my positions". It's essentially posting proofs that you did the work. You'll see Biden's people put out constant bulletpointed lists, the drastic differences are only because the Trump people just found out the homework was due yesterday night and tossed some poo poo together after a bender.

I mean, look at this poo poo, the RNC couldn't even spell "resolved" right four times in a row at the start of sentences: https://twitter.com/thekeenanwire/status/1297877185311772672?s=19

Actually, it's on the Biden Website! When PeterCat dumped the whole site's text, it stripped all the bullet points and bolding. It's actually pretty easy to read and full of bullets! The bullets are just followed by things like words and ideas.

An example of many: https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/

But anyways, that poo poo's boring and I'm a dumb toadie. Apparently Oakland had a Shroom Church that got raided so enjoy that instead:

I think I mentioned this in Dadchat, but Michael Pollan’s book “How to Change Your Mind” is a well-researched and presented book about the history of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin. In recent years, more of the mainstream medical and psychology community has come around to their use in therapy, particularly for addiction and also people facing life-threatening illnesses. I’d highly recommend it.

Just to make something clear, I never post poo poo like this because it will finally take Donnie down, it's because I find the legal clusterfucks to be hilarious as hell.

So Donnie's got an NY DA on his rear end about his tax returns and the bullshit in those, while the DA AG is now on his company's rear end about their shady tax poo poo - like buildings being worth $X to the company, but mysteriously worth only half that once it comes tax time. Eric Trump agreed to do a sit-down with the AG, then cancelled it. And all of this tax poo poo is state-based, unpardonable stuff if they charge crimes too.

I have a follow-up!

So Donnie showed up and yammered for an hour (man he's overexposed) and then someone yelled some poo poo in the background when he was yammering about Obama. That something was either "SPYGATE!" or "MONKEY!".

Early reports were it was "monkey", then stories were written, then pulled back as people re-checked the audio and thought it was "spygate". I thought the whole thing was loving stupid until the CBS News White House Correspondent noted that Donnie sure sounded like he had an opinion.

But thank you for making my point that no one is going to read that mass of poo poo you just posted vs 5 bullet points

I absolutely LOVE that we're having the exact same discussions we had in 2016, because the Democrats have the learning ability of honeybees.

It's absurd to me that the Dems continue to fail in stupid and preventable ways. You know how you compete with Trump's easy-to-read bullet list? You allot another $5 a month for bandwidth on your website and make your own loving bullet list where each bullet is a link to an in-depth explanation. You plaster it all over social media. You get the loving Lincoln Project to push it. drat near every dumbfuck advantage he has can be negated or at least challenged, but the national Democrats have no idea how to interact with "normal" people and it's going to bite them and us in the rear end again.

Here's the problem: Trump's information fits in a tweet. To get to Joe's, I have to scroll halfway down the homepage, then scroll horizontally to see if there's an issue I'm interested in, click to that page and scroll halfway down to get to his bullet statements (which are paragraphs, not simple one-liners). If I actually want to commit 10 minutes to reading about an issue, ok. But if I'm like 90% of this country and I have the attention span of a goldfish, forget it.

The details need to be there, absolutely. But there needs to be something to grab people, to get their attention. If I'm reading Biden's detailed explanation of position, it's because I'm probably already leaning his direction. He needs to ATTRACT people, too.
