    If this was an official order the orange man would be past tense.

        While I have no real taste for dried oranges - I can say fairly certainly that we’re on the tip of a slippery slope on either side. If we step off the current path no good will come of it.

          I think most of us are pretty tired of not being on solid ground. Trump is the worst kind of person.

            Both are differing degrees or lesser evils. Neither of these candidates is equipped to deal with the impending depression / crash / crisis we are on the doorstep of.

            Make no mistake: A grifter will never put our country first and we would undoubtedly suffer if he took office again - but Biden lacks the resolve to make hard choices and frankly someone holding your hand while you drown isn’t really much different. Both suck and shouldn’t be running. Biden is the obvious choice but I refuse to say better.

            Both are shit. We should aspire to be better than shit.

              I’d rather someone hold my hand while I’m drowning than actively try to drown me.

                We should really want better for ourselves.

                  Yes, but given only two choices, I choose the one that isn’t trying to drown me.

                    That wasn’t the example. You are falling into the exact statements that people who have given up do: it’s less bad.

                    Neither is helping the drowning victim: it doesn’t matter if one is nice or otherwise. Where is the lifeguard? Stop accepting less bad and start seeking a change. Look around. This is where the status quo of ‘less bad’ has gotten us.

                    I feel you on the sentiment but nobody should have to hit that level of acceptance.
