I didn't catch covid and won't catch the debate. However, as I questioned earlier,It may take a truly awful (in domestic and foreign policy) another Trump four years to right this county's ship. One last thing, Ukraine will not feel too fine with four years of Trump.

At least Ukraine has some support from Europe. I feel really bad for political opponents that stood up to Trump. It’s going to be really bad for them. I came of age in the Clinton era, and so it’s just crazy to see how Republicans played the long game and won beyond even their own expectations. If Trump only won 30% of the vote, I’d have no issue. But the fact that 48% of the country either wants this or is too naive to see the danger just tells me we’re doomed.
I seriously don’t think Trump 2.0 is a 4-year thing. If he refused to leave last time, I don’t have high confidence he will leave voluntarily next time unless Don Jr. is the president that succeeds him.
I felt deeply a year ago that Biden made a huge mistake running again. It seems to have come to fruition. For anybody that says we’d be worse with Kamala or fill in the blank, I’d like to know how it could get any worse.
I kind of felt the same way as Joe mentioned a few times that he was a transition to new leadership of Dems. I think age has been too much to overcome for him. I'll never know why people look at Trumpster and say they like him.
Worse as a country, definitely not. I think we'll be fine to great under any of the potential Dems. in the potential president cohort. Worse as a political race - maybe. Two knowns vs. an unknown and a known is not apples to apples.
One strength that I see Biden having is he has a long history in the public light. As much as folks want to say that is a bad thing, we have two people each with roughly the same amount of media coverage over their lifetimes. The resiliency we've seen from Biden and the face planting from Comer on the impeachment quagmire, shows that Biden is not who MAGA says he is.
I don't disagree with the merits, but think like a dullard for a minute. What you mentioned probably worked when people wore suits on airplanes. Now people wear pajamas and no shoes, literally. They pay a premium to have fast food delivered to their door. It's all about instant gratification, so there's a premium for something shiny and new even if that something new is just a turd. Trump exploited that. Serious people laugh if you bring up The Rock as a running mate, but that's because you're thinking like a serious person. What % of the electorate is serious? It's a moot point, but just think for a minute where you think the polls would be if The Rock was running against Trump. Keep in mind we're a silly country.
We will never know that for sure, and certainly don't know it now. Personally, I think he may not have run if Republicans would have dumped the bastard. They did not. Once that happened, I for one saw more risks coming from finding an alternative than with sticking with a successful incumbent. I think Biden did too.
Still doesn't matter. Whatever was done. If we win in November we will say yea. If we lose, the sad truth is that Biden will be blamed, not the people that voted for Trump

I do what JVL frequently does when he puts his hands on his head and yells AAAHHH! But I do it in private.
Your last name is Yell LOL!
Yeah but I don't live up to my name!
I don't think our democracy will survive another 4 years of a trump term. That's why this election is so damn important.

Agree.
Double that agree.
