Love your writing Michael-always read your posts! But I think you’re missing it on this one (IMHO). Read The Free Press “It’s over, and it’s Trump”.
I too disdain Trump, but until we figure out how reasonable, otherwise intelligent people (and many educated) can support this man, we’re going to be stuck with him. The politicians who grovel at his feet are no mystery (Liz Cheney says it correctly-“Trump will one day soon be gone, but their lack of integrity and honor will last forever “). They’re just trying to keep their jobs, influence and power.
I’d like to know your thoughts-perhaps you’ll write about it if you have a chance to read the Free Press article?
Aside from Biden's age (4 years older than Trump, and in far better shape) and all the "feelings" about this & that, kindly allow facts to speak. Biden got us through the Covid mess he inherited, addressed issues in the face of the do-nothing GOP congress, passed a massive infrastructure bill with its many jobs and opportunities, supported labor unions, concentrated on kitchen table issues, lowered drug prices, restored our place in world politics, strengthened the economy and alleviated inflation, and much more. Oh - and he's not a rapist, financial fraudster, or advocate for neo-nazis, white supremacists, and undertaxed billionaires.
I would add his efforts to relieve student debt and get rid of junk fees. I would also add his appointees doing good work...or, at least, one of them - Lina Khan. I'm also glad his Justice Department is being far more credulous re: corporate mergers.
There are plenty of legitimate critiques of the Biden admin - I would point out the expanding drilling, the crap foreign policy, and his policy towards the Southern border. However, his age/competence aren't it.
As noted many times, I have no idea who to vote for. Both are absolutely not what I want as a representative for my country ...much less run it!!! It's embarrassing to think of another 4 years of either !!!!
Biden has not varied from the national playbook that’s been going on since WWII. Not fair to blame the problems around the world on him. It’s his predecessors, who are mostly long dead.
Eh. He could actually put pressure on Netanyahu instead of very gently suggesting that the IDF not murder Gazan civilians while ramming through military aid to Israel. Also maybe get congressional approval before bombing Yemen?
You're right that he's far from the first US president to behave this way. That doesn't make it ok.
And here we are again, still, with this Mr. Creosote asshole taking up valuable mental shelf space in all of our brains and forcing hate into our emotions. It's especially maddening because being in other people's brains is exactly what he has schemed for and jostled around for in his entire shallow life. Like the bad seed that he is, Trump discovered that lying, denigrating others, being a proud and open sociopath gets him negative attention (hate, in fact) from decent people who normally would not be paying attention to him. I not only hate him, I hate knowing that there are millions of hateful, bigoted, ignorant bullies living all around me.
Break the two party system and vote for a third party or independent candidate.
Youve got to pay less attention to the election brah! You said that was a goal of yours!

Failed to mention Trump's goals of a national abortion ban, cutting Social Security and Medicare, and being a dick and a dictator?

You have no idea who to vote for? It's Biden or Trump. And Trump is unacceptable on so many levels.
You are wrong! That was a brilliant juicy hot take and should be required reading for everyone!
As I have previously noted, we are so fucked.
Indeed.
It will be hard to vote to merely keep DT out of office. I'm trying to be convinced to, but Biden's handle on our imperialism isn't striking true.

That’s like saying you’re not sure if you’d rather be force-fed a pile of hippo poop or smell your own fart.
point taken🤔
I got no problem voting for Biden. He is not Trump.

It's a great point. His superpower is inspiring reactions, positive and negative.
The scary part is that, apparently, much of the voting nation just loves him and hangs on his every word.
