    Like Trump said... Biden just has dementia... he forgot to be bend over for Trump, because he is sick.

    Biden has already clearly shown he's the better person. Then again, being a better person than the resident isn't hard at all. If he does suspend the campaign, he's just playing right into the hands of the GOP.

    The people's minds who could possibly be changed by that action are basura anyways.

    I'm just so goddamned fed up.

    Trump says and does literally any heinous shit he can but if Biden tells him to shut the hell up, then they are both acting equally.

    Every time shit like this comes up all these people are doing is equating unequal behavior and normalizing Trump's wretchedness.

    200,000+ dead didn’t get a fair chance thanks to trump and his admin decision making.

    This isn’t a game, lives are at stake here. And only one side cares about ALL American lives.

    The thing is, trump supporters are deplorable. People who aren't trump supporters, aren't. Shitty people would cheer for someone being sick and have the possibility of dying. I don't think dems want to appeal to those people, Republicans have them locked up already.

    edit - that said, nah biden 100% should continue to campaign. absolutely no reason not to.

    Full steam ahead in the Biden Train. Literally, because he's campaigning on a train.
    Hahaha suspend the campaign cos Trump is sick. Man, Clinton had no pneumonia! No suspension! There has been a pandemic raging across the US killing hundreds of thousands, and Trump held rallies! No suspension! Ruth Bader Ginsberg was barely even entering heaven’s gates, and McConnell banged the drum for her replacement! No suspension! There. Will. Be. No. Suspension. Trump should take care of his own health and not cry because his lack of personal safety has led to this.

    Hillary tried that in 2016. It didn't work.

    This wouldn't even be a conversation if "Trump's level" hadn't been to ignore the problem...and to continue to ignore the problem while 200,000+ people died. This isn't some random illness he contracted, it's a huge part of the reason the piece of shit needs to be out of the office in the first place.

    Being the better person is what Obama literally tried to do during his terms of office and all he got were guys like McConnell giving him the middle finger each time he called on Congress for assistance. Being the better person is what Biden did by not insulting his opponent's children during a debate when that same opponent decided to do so. We have already shown we are better. We need to get things done now.

    I'm tired of just being the "better person". Sure you can still do good things, but when you're dealing with a group of individuals like the GOP who will do anything and everything they can to remain in power, even if it goes directly against the will of the people, you don't compromise or give them courtesy to "get back in the game", you get rid of them.

    Maybe if the GOP starts to show good faith sometime by not being complete jerks, we can reach across the aisle. I can't think of one instance where the resident or his party lately saw democrats as not an enemy, but a group with different values. His platform has always been divide and conquer. Us vs them. Nah, screw those people.

    That's fine. Trump doesn't. Trump's supporters don't. You cannot point to Trump supporters, by their proven history, and say "this is a crowd of people that will root for Biden if Biden shows quiet, dignity, and grace." If these people valued such behavior, they wouldn't be Trump supporters.

    Being the better person is wishing him well and sending prayers. something Trump didn't give Hillary, in fact, trump mocked her for having pneumonia. Biden has already proven he's the better person. He doesn't need to stop campaigning to show that.

    Yes, but we're not voting for Trump. You suggested this would make some Trump supporters swap sides. I believe you're mistaken. Everyone here believes you're mistaken, possibly including you.

    Not at all true. It would be one thing if this were some kind of surprise, unavoidable illness. But Trump is sick largely due to his own Administration's complete and utter bed-shitting on the subject. And it's only a tiny-hands fraction of the misery and death those same actions have caused the people of this country.

    Don’t share opinions if you don’t want to be told on how your opinion could be wrong.

    Since none of the posters here are Joe Biden(afaik) your false equivalency is more than a little silly.
