    Nobody represents the people, but that’s not a new problem nor, in anyway, a new thing in this Trump era

    My biggest fear is that the USA always gets to chose someone who does not represent them at all but at least had the notion that we need a planet to live in

    Trump is a man child and will see the world burn out of petty spite. And us, in the rest of the world, would have to still live with those consequences

    So back to the debate and the choice between Biden and Trump… Sure Biden is a terrible option, like chosing to get cancer… But Trump is like chosing to be gang raped, shot and left for dead in an open sewer and here we are pretending the 2 bad options are somehow the same

      That’s the part you’re missing. People are legitimately asking themselves “If these two people are my only choices and won’t improve my quality of life do I want to keep living?”

        But again, maybe Biden is the status quo which is not great I admit, but Trump is torture then death… How is that even a “close” call to make?

          Again you are not fully empathizing with people’s experience under… whoever for the last 20ish years. Some “young” people who are now in their 30s and 40s never really recovered from the financial crisis. Each day is already torture working a dead end job with shit pay where customers scream at them only to return to a tiny apartment with rent creeping up every single month.

            It’s not a matter of empathy… If each day is torture under status quo, how is going under a regime promising to make it worse a better option?

              You’re trying to trump despair with reason bud. Doesn’t work like that.

                How is Trump going to improve anything for your example demographic?

                You keep pretending there is logic there yet have shown no logical path there
