    It’s not about whether you or I or the person you’re replying to is in touch with reality or not. It matters what the vast majority of the predominantly idiotic swing voters think in this country, and in that context, last night’s showing was not inspiring for the “please let’s not have fascism” team.

    And I am calling swing voters idiots nowadays because with what the parties, candidates, and stakes are these days, you would have to at best be a genuine idiot, and at worst an outright fascist/theocratic fascist to seriously consider voting for Trump.

      As you must know then, the President as a person has little to do with the actual policies being shipped around anyway. The majority of the work in the role is left to the people they surround themselves with.

      Trump has a bunch of racist, classist, and fascist types hell bent on pushing their own agendas and taking us back 80 years to “the good old days”.

      Biden has sensible people working on actual policies and projects that are positively impacting the nation.

      The choice should be fucking absolute and clear, regardless of the debate presence.

      That a truth of our time is that the fate of so many rests on these relatively few idiotic swing voters speaks to just how terrible the state of affairs have become.
