I'm not familiar with the company. How do you feel about companies taking this firm of a position in politics? Reading further into this shows it's not really about supporting Biden but removing Trump. Would you continue to support them if they firmly were against your preferred candidate? What if it was one of the top three micros wanting to get rid of Biden?

I have a feeling this will quickly go off the rails into hate but I wanted to see if we could have some debate on companies openly trying to influence elections.

Likewise, Scientific American has come out for Biden, which is really a position against Trump's anti-science stance.

Trump has an Anti-Science stance or the liberals are selling and telling us that he has an Anti-Science stance?  Is Biden really suffering from dementia, or are the Republicans just promoting that myth?

Yeah who would have expected that academics who live in the mostly liberal hives of "we know better than everyone else" would support Biden? PBS that the taxpayers pay for, is far left. Talk about Anti-Science, because the shows have a political agenda that ignores anything that doesn't agree with them

Before anyone thinks I'm in favor of Trump, no way. The truth is, I don't like either of them, and we don't have a choice. Same as the last election, when I didn't like either of the candidates.

Here's the way it's looking right now. "This year, Trump will not be able to vilify Biden. The swing voters do not dislike Biden the way they still disliked Hillary Clinton. And, so, Trump is taking a different approach, casting doubt on Biden by focusing on questions of his mental acuity and verbal mistakes. And he will likely get far by alleging Biden's lifetime in politics has not having yielded a single, career-defining achievement." paraphrased and quoted from Rich Thau

Choices: angry, loudmouth (sometimes uninformed) tweeter or someone who has the force and personality of a brown paper bag. Biden is viewed by many as nothing but a mouthpiece for special interests and activist groups. Defunding the police? That will send voters to Trump. Rioters attacking Federal buildings and retail shops? That's going to get more people to vote for Trump. Kind of a backfire for the protesters, isn't it?

Here I am someone who hates the hate in politics and abhors the division that has taken place in the country. We used to fight together, to make the country better. Someone won, they were Our President. Now all I see is people split and fighting each other, mostly for their own gain and self interests. That's not united. Polarization is the worst enemy for our country the way I see things.

If nothing terrible alters the way things are going and mostly progressing towards November. The election will be very, very close. No one is leading or going to overwhelm the other. The side that gets out the vote will win, regardless of policy or promises. We are that equally divided.

What country have you been living in? When did we used to fight together to make the country better? Was it when Obama was POTUS and the right questioned where he was born and went nuts because he wore the same type of tan suit every other modern president had worn at some point? Was it when Reagan had the trickle down approach that led to the current tremendous gap between rich and poor? Was it when women (we�re the majority of people in the US) weren�t allowed to vote? Or when slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person so white slave owners in the south would have power beyond their true numbers, outsized power that still, today, puts Republicans in the White House even when they lose the popular vote? Was it when the founding fathers enslaved people? Was it when Europeans invaded, murdered most of the existing population and forced who was left to live on reservations, then broke every treaty made with them? This country has always been about a small group of white men grabbing power for themselves and trying their best to keep everyone else from getting their hands on it. And it�s always been everyone else fighting them for some small chance at some type of equality or fairness.
