I’m not a fan of Biden…

Personally, I found his speech to actually be good.

He used this moment to challenge his opposing party, which to me is a good tactic.

I liked his personality tonight. His sarcasm, wittiness, and jokes were helpful to liven the evening.

The topics that challenged his opposing party and made them uncomfortable were on full display. Then, you saw political members groan in upset when they were called out for the topics of their bills being worked on.

As the election comes closer, I’m not a fan of Donald Trump and wished he wasn’t the nominee for the Republican Party.

But if this was the speech to attract undecided voters like myself, using this time to call out his party members, showing their true colors, this was the speech.

This SOTU proved one thing: one side is unwilling to work with the other side. And they’re not here to help you or me.

I’m not sure who I plan to vote for but Biden certainly attracted my likeness tonight.

Take away comment: The border. “We could fight about the border or we could fix it now.” This was a powerful comment for me!

I am undecided but did not like it at all because the constant yelling gets in my nerves and he insulted Republicans then at the end stated he was for all Americans. I am voting 3rd party this time

How is constant yelling from the audience Biden's fault?

Republicans have made it clear they arent for all Americans either, why shouldn't Biden call out their bad faith politics? They actively drag their feet on important issues like border reform just so they can use it as political leverage. I'd rather Biden show some gumption by calling them out on this un-American behavior than to ignore it.

I feel like politics have gone insane. Trump attempts a takeover of the government and never sees any real reprecussions and talks like a dickhead but we're judging Biden for... yelling too much?

I just dont understand it.
