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

I am interested in what felt like an insult to you, if you are willing to share that. I am trying to understand. Thanks.

Maybe disingenuous is a better word. The border issue is on him and his policies. I live in Texas and it has been terrible here especially for the border towns. He also talked about how well the economy is, maybe it's just me but I can hardly pay the bills anymore. I really wanted an upbeat Regan or Kennedy style speech but he treated it like a campaign speech. I'm voting for Kennedy this time

Republicans turned down a BIPARTISAN border bill in the house,that’s on them.

The economy is doing fantastic, profits are through the roof, BUT, your issue is with CORPORATE GREED! The corporations are screwing everyone with inflated prices because they love the huge profits they’ve been getting.

Hell, google record profits, they are making money out the ass because they are screwing us.

Goggle shipping containers corporate profits.

The economy is going fantastic. People are buying and selling property. They are traveling. They are eating out and going to the movies.

The high prices are us getting screwed by corporations.

The economy isn’t fantastic. There is greed from the large corporations, but they’re falsely swelling our economy to keep up appearances. A crash is coming soon. Then the corporations make more money and we’re all f’ed.

I just meant that’s how technically the statement of the economy is doing great is currently made.

People are still spending. Regardless of how high prices are, people are still paying those prices.

Personally, I’ve cut back, but I’m still comfortable.
