Why are you afraid to discuss the response that Biden offered?


I'm not afraid to talk about anything, it's just a worthless talking point to talk about what hypothetically might have happened if someone else was President.

Also you called him "my representative" which is fricking hilarious.

Lol, he restricted travel to and from China on January 31. You are so fricking stupid.

Trump restricts travel to China

Complete speculation


No it’s not speculation, they were not allowing anyone in. So how could trump’s firing of those people have mattered when they wouldn’t have been allowed to get into China to determine what the problem was?

The article about New Orleans and not the lack of the response to the virus.

As far as the lack of response to the virus.

The president tried to limit travel to and from
China he was racist.

NBA player were against canceling the season until two players tested positive for the virus.

Even in early March people were against canceling events, shutting down businesses, and canceling Mardi Gras in late February lol.

No one cared until it spread in larger numbers around the middle of March.

They Mayors of towns that had Mardi Gras could have cancelled the events they chose not to.

At the end of the day no one expected the virus to spread into the United States like it did.

Almost all of the liberals said that we shouldn’t restrict travel to China. Biden is your representative to oppose trump. Let’s discuss his opinion to not ban travel to China. Do you think that would have been the appropriate response?

I was referring to internal coordination and response activities, but I didn't specify that so I'll give that he did 1 thing.

I think the 1 thing he did was woefully inadequate and, combine with his rhetoric at the time, helped accelerate the spread of the virus that was pretty clearly already here after he announced the travel ban.

Well they already said that math is racist. So I guess those facts mean nothing now.

As long as you aren't a resident of Orleans Parish and you don't plan on parking on the streets of Orleans Parish, you can pretty much shred any ticket you receive from Latoya da Destroya.

I know you live in a binary world but I don't. I didn't support Biden's nomination and I'm undecided if I will support him in November. He does not represent me in any kind of way.

Regardless it's a pathetic red herring attempt to deflect the actual response efforts in favor of discussing hypothetical ones.

Lmfao, so banning travel to and from China isn’t doing anything? You are such a joke!

What is the one thing that he did that in your opinion was woefully inadequate?

His rhetoric helped spread the virus? I have got to hear more about this.

The 1800s, before the inception
Of modern day ideals
Fake grip of appeals
Straight to the street run, no barroom virgin
Double vision, cocaine
To a whorehouse of pain
New Orleans is a dying whore
Naked she sleeps on my floor
New Orleans is a dying whore
The spreading highway
To the underwater staircase
Leading up to a black room
To leave there you're a fool
Mob world politics
So broke it can't fix
Trapped in a time zone
There's no place like home

Are you implying that what the President of the United States says about a given subject has no impact on how millions of Americans view that subject? Have you spent any time on the poli board at all?

He is the opposition to trump, and is the representative for your side. Like it or not.

It’s an opportunity to discuss the handling (and hypothetical handling) by the two opposing candidates in the upcoming election. Plenty of other Democrats shared Biden’s sentiment.

I am asking you to explain how his rhetoric caused the virus to spread more.

I appreciate your backpedaling, deflecting, and red herring attacks to try to defend your political sports team at all costs. I really do.

Tell me, what would Trump have to do to lose your support NPC?

the WHO was pushing that it wasn't transmittable human-to-human until late January, possibly even after the China travel ban

so ignoring the China travel ban, you can say a month, maybe

and yes, everyone agrees the CDC dropped the ball

i don't know how much that would have ended up helping in the macro sense, but it did delay early testing. it's also not really a criticism of Trump. when the WHO and CDC are fricking up, do you really think the solution was to have Trump ignore scientists earlier on then they would permit?
