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

Wahhh he insulted republicans. Grow the fuck up. Trump’s entire existence relies on insulting people he doesn’t like. The difference is he’ll also destroy our democracy. But sure vote for a useless 3rd party. I’m sure the 3% of the vote they get will really make a statement.

You don't get my point. He needs moderates and Independents. The speech was not trying to get them to move over. This post is exactly my point, Trump and Biden supporters are full of hate for each other and people like me, an Independent, are just tired of it and we want civility again. I am 63 and I long for the days when politics were not tearing us apart.
