Same scenario on the R side of the house. Trump rode a populist wave and pushed all of the sane R's out of the running. Just because A sucks doesn't mean B doesn't also suck.
I've been in The Navy for 22 years now. I know some pretty high level brass. When they tell me that they're genuinely worried about who's at the helm, I listen. There's arguments from everyone on both sides for why THEY voted the way they did. This is mine.

No.
I disregarded your concept of "mostly peaceful" because there were fatalities.
You're changing the subject because you're still upset about an argument several weeks ago.
None of that changes that any one of those broken promises can be fact checked. It's not a "Left" thing.
As if "The Left" is some sort of homogenous group.

I literally have no idea what you are referring to there.
As you well know, data can be cherry picked to support nearly any conclusion you set out to prove. Can you seriously deny the media has not been hell bent on reporting (or not reporting) news in such a manner as to present all things Trump in the worst possible light?

No, I won't deny that because it's true.
But that's also not the discussion at hand. The assertion was made that Trump kept all of his promises. I provided proof that that is a false assertion. You appear to be asserting that my proof is false, so please provide your proof. Saying "nuh-uh, deepstate leftist media" does not refute that Trump did not keep many of his promises.

Biden's not broken one promise thus far?
Why's politifact not mention the reneging on vaccine requirements? Is it because it's a biased media company? Strange. And that's what you are basing your entire argument on at this point?

I used politifact because they have an easy to read compiled list. That does not change the content. My "entire argument" is that Trump did not uphold his promises. That is easily verified. Pick your source, you'll find that I'm correct.
You keep trying to turn this into a "you hate Trump so you must love Biden" thing. The world is not binary and politics isn't supposed to be a team sport.
However, I'd like to unpack this for a moment. Those are all inflammatory, emotion statements that are repeated by the mainstream media ad nauseam. The Left media has become famous for "these are my feelings and therefore it is fact and you are hurting me, so you are wrong and must stop what you are doing". Your position comes off very thin with an emotion only response.
Can you share one example each that demonstrate your position?
NOTE: I could care less who you voted for. If you willingly voted for Joe Biden, please feel free to share what you are most excited about that he has accomplished this last month.

Not sure why I'm bothering, but here are small examples IMO. I've already stated 2 conspiracies he pushed so I won't revisit that.
