Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I'm American, and I believe both sides raise valid points and both sides have problems. The polarization on both sides and refusal to listen to the other side is what is destroying this country politically.

The last presidential race, we got an egotistical maniac and a guy who is too senile to know where he is or how to form a sentence. This is the best we can do?

I am NOT saying both sides are the same.

I can't believe people refer to Biden as senile and not Trump. Go google Trump nuclear speech and tell me that man isn't senile, he can't even form 3 coherent sentences in a row.

I never said Trump wasn't senile. They both need to retire.
