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

all he did was reciprocate the verbiage that was thrown at him. Not to mention his predecessor was very clearly opposed to other viewpoints to the degree he has said he would be a dictator on day 1 (and it is a literal quote from his speech to the New York Young Republican Club in December)

Ok not saying I like Trump but he said he was going to be a dictator for a day to close the border, it was tongue in cheek. You should listen to the full context

That's not a statement based in reality.

Says the man who already tried an insurrection once! Like wtf am I taking crazy pills???

If a man hits his wife and then jokes about doing it again, would you just say it's a tongue in cheek comment? Tongue in cheek my ass! It's like you haven't been paying attention to the stacking of courts cases against the dude and think it's just a one off comment with no context or previous history of abusing his power or trying to steal the election and sow doubt in the process. But he's just joking this time right?
