I always heard it as "What's a pirate's favorite letter"

As a person

I too am a person and totally not an AI driven bot fellow human.

See, here's an example of someone who thinks Biden is perfect! CULT CULT CULT /s

If Dems ran a viable alternative to Biden then it's likely they would have the nomination. Unfortunately, the DNC set their strategy and have no choice but to see it through to the end at this point.

Best thing Republicans could do is run Nikki Haley. She has a real chance of pulling centrists to the right against Biden and his age.

What I mean is don't listen to anyone who says "polls show". Polls have been weaponized by every media outlet to back up whatever story they're trying to relay.

Polls are only good for political strategists and only for forming actionable strategies. They don't capture true popular feelings about any subjects and completely eliminate room for subtleties and nuance in the debate.

For example, why is she polling lower than Biden? Could it be because the VP role is traditionally one of someone who works in the background, so the general public has very little reason to think about her too often? How many times is she mentioned in headlines (successes or failures) compared to Biden and Trump? Who was polled and who did the polling - was there any accountability for bias one way or the other?

Take all polls with a huge grain of salt.

Humanity would absolutely be the abuser in this toxic relationship

Polls don't mean jack shit. They're basically the "mood ring" of the political world.

And yet she still has to state the obvious for the oblivious

That's such a great feeling. I did the same with our cat when we got her as a kitten. She doesn't climb on my shoulders anymore, but she prefers my lap over the others in the house.

They were just keeping with the strong tradition established by the Greeks and Romans of gods that rape everyone and everything.
