It is the equivalent of forced consent. I lead a diversity group in the 1990s at a college I went to.

I started with new folks with a simple question:

Is it worse to be a bigot or prejudiced?

It is why Biden's rise with next to zero effort or work is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Look at what Warren and Kamala had to do to be on that stage. As a swing voter and an oxymoron (Liberal Republican), do you know how distasteful it is to vote for a Trump-look alike?

Some folks will sometimes jump on this comment and state but Trump this and Trump that, and ignore the fact that he is 99% similar. Why? Prior to 2015, Trump was a Democrat, who is now running as a Republican. He figured out Republicans know how to win and run races, while Democrats do not.
