Because he’s been a moderate all his life and the far left dislike him. A lot.

Biden stopped being a moderate in Obama's administration.

As a member of the right I realize that two wrongs don’t make a right.

Man... you really haven’t been paying attention at all the last 4 years.

Lieutenant America

Unlike you I've paid attention since before 9/11.

Why is there always an attempt by democrats to unite when their candidate wins?

FMOCIE

Agreed, why say "unite" when you really mean "submit?"

Please educate us with details...what do you consider Trump's failures?

FMOCIE

We can start with Nov 3 or work our way back from Jan 6. Which do you prefer?

StalwartBraveTrue

You are not serious. You just are filled with hate towards Trump, I pity you.

FMOCIE

I am not a trump man. He lied to the American people for his political gain.

StalwartBraveTrue

StalwartBraveTrue

1/22/21 1:45pm

So Trump is the greatest liar because of one statement?

I don't believe I called trump "the greatest liar"
