Biden uses feisty State of the Union to contrast with Trump, sell voters on a second term - eviltoast
Biden's third such address will be something of an on-the-job interview, as the nation's oldest president tries to quell voter concerns about his age and job performance while sharpening the contrast with Donald Trump.

That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    There are other parties even in the US, but they are not taken seriously because they basically take away votes from the big party ideologically closer to them and so they are marginalized. Appropriately so given how FPTP works.

    The election system is the real issue that needs to be fixed, and new finance rules around elections aren’t going to make enough of a dent.

      I’m talking parties that take seats. The two party FPTP is peculiar to the US.
