    Hilarious. You could do better than Biden, America, but I respect this reaction more than the incessant screaming of the toddler you had before.

      Biden was the concession. Few really wanted him. The rest just knew he was white and vanilla enough to alienate as few swing voters as possible.

      Anything to get trump out of office.

            I don’t buy the he’s a “smart trump” argument. His presidential bid was an obvious mistake that could have never ended any other way. But he did it anyway out of ego and narcissism. He’s not a smart trump, he’s trump without the charisma or timing.

            Desantis doesn’t have the charisma to replace Trump.

            This is one of the few upsides of cults of personality; almost by definition they are not replicable.

              I do wonder what would happen to all the Trumptards if he were to die before the next election. Where would they go? Who would they support?

              I wouldn’t be surprised if they call his death a liberal conspiracy and raid the capitol again.

                Agree. I also think that it’s inevitable that when he dies, leaving aside the fact of his old age and poor health, it will necessarily result in a cataract of deeply stupid conspiracy theories.

                This is the world we live in, unfortunately.

              I voted against Trump last election. This time I’m voting for Biden. He’s done way more than most people ever expected of him, with a razor thin Senate majority too.

          Do we have a real choice?

          I don’t think we do.

          If the choice is between a precariously old octogenarian and a completely unhinged authoritarian octogenarian who doesn’t believe in democracy, I guess I know which way I’ll vote every time.

      To be honest, neither Biden nor any other politician should receive praise or respect for behaving this way, for it is the bare minimum that’s expected from them.

      We’re just used to the craziness of the other side. Anyone behaving like the Republicans during the GW Bush era or earlier would have been ostracized from the political landscape.

      So, don’t feel respect for the expected decency of a politician. Feel rage for the indecent one, and show it with your votes!
