    Vote for the old man that means well, not the old fascist that wants to take us back to the good old days of legal slavery and real life handmaid’s tale?

      Have you had to care for someone Biden’s age? He would be about 86 if got through another term in office. Think Trump would be about 82.

      Watching the debate was like watching two of my grandfather, who take of, on stage. Love that man and respect him but would not put him in charge of something that important.

    It’s more like, now what “liberal media”? FFS, can you stop bothsidering this stuff? If we have to have Weekend at Biden’s for 4 years, or, uh, let Kamala take charge, America will be okay.

    If donnie gets into that office, it’s not clear that this country would ever be the same.

          wait until they make up or change a law or policy that makes people like you their target like they keep doing

          will you still be singing the same tired old tune then?

            It’s a fucking binary choice between bad and the end of the Republic, you can’t deal in bullshit hypotheticals, they simply do not matter.

              singular choice between one senile Demopublican or the other one

              one has a D and likes blue the other has an R and likes red

              the next four years will have the same result either way unless the citizens unite and vote some other party in

              on that note yes it is next to impossible already agree

              remember when Obama and Biden had a third party candidate chained to a chair for eight hours

              if the people reject the two party system and quit supporting it yes it will fail same as any business people quit shopping at

              it is already the end of the Republic if you have gotten a politician to force to you to vote for them

              coerced vote because of threats is not an autonomous one born of rational thinking

              Biden and Trump want the same thing even if the route looks different

    Can we pick a random city, and throw two rocks? Whoever they hit, we wake them up, dust them off and let them know they are the new presidential candidates. I am confident we will have a much better selection than the current.

    We should hold a national lottery. Anyone meeting constitutional qualifications for the Presidency can submit their name. Submissions will be binned by state. 5 red states + 5 blue states to be selected at random (or 4 + 4 + 2 purple, whatever the fuck). One name from each state to be selected at random. 3 debates, with ranked choice voting. End of fucking story.
