				 | In 2011, just 36% of Republicans said a politician who committed an immoral act could still fulfill their duties.
 With Trump on the 2016 ballot, that shot up to 70%.
 
 In 2020: 71%.

Last I heard you claimed that Ronan Farrow was going to find the dirt, looks like he’s about as productive as John Durham.

Yes Jim the vast majority of American election have only 2 choices  binary 
 
 But The term binary I used when talking about elections are usually framed as a choice between the lesser of two evils
 
So 
 
When people throw  out the binary choice, they’re trying to reduce the election to two defined choices whose outcomes are totally understood. They want to pretend that you know exactly what outcome you’re getting with either choice and that the outcomes stop the minute the choice is made.
 
It’s about the best candidate hence why my state Ma has had several Republican Governors    They weren’t elected because of their ideology  
In a democratic state . They were better candidates  
 
GA Republicans could careless about the competency integrity or character of their candidate. It’s all about owning the libs they have made it binary   choice between the lesser of two evils
 
Why would.  Raphael Warnock   not help the people of GA  any less than walker beside walkers a Republican puppet |

 |  If, as you say, this election is a choice between the lesser of two  evils, doesn't that mean that both sides have weak candidates?  
 
You say it's a choice between the lesser of two evils, doesn't that mean that you side also nominated a loser here?
 
and "binary" doesn't mean a choice between 2 bad candidates.  It's a situation with 2 possible outcomes. |

 |  Iam not makings it about the lesser of 2 evils. Republicans hence calling it binary they are making suggestions to their voters they don’t have a choice because anyone with a D next to their name is bad.
 
Being competent or having the ability to do the job isn’t necessary in today’s GOPQ. 
 
All that’s required is say you pray be against abortion and claim Trump won and the election was rigged  
Done any republican will vote for you

I used the word binary in that context, and you twisted it into something it's not.
 
Do you think anyone believes you'd ever vote for a conservative republican in a race against a flawed democrat?  Is that what you expect anyone to believe?

 |  not sure it matters who he said it to, what matters is he didn’t i or anyone could hear him.  he said to the Ft Myers mayor.
 
you’re upset  someone gave biden the finger, but he can call a reporter a dumb son of a bitch for asking about inflation. that’s an example of treating people with respect. 
 
Maybe some people don’t like it when biden says we want to put blacks back in chains. |
