      I would prefer neither was running. If Biden had run instead of Obama, he would have got my vote. I voted for Obama. Had he run on his values from the 90’s, I may have picked him over Trump. In his current state, I can’t vote for him. I wish he wouldn’t have run again, and people would have remembered him in a better light.

        His values from the 90’s, when he was openly racist, and anti-drugs?

        It’s him or Trump. Not voting for one is directly helping the other. So what you’re saying is that, between the two, you prefer Trump.

            He has literally zero chance of winning, so a vote for him takes a vote away from one of the two major party candidates, whichever you would have otherwise voted for.

              That is why I won’t vote 3rd party when the stakes are high. The last time we had a viable third party was Perot.

              That and RFK is a nut

            That really isn’t an option. You can’t risk a senile old man having the launch codes.

              Better a vindictive, angry old man who has talked about nuking places?

                He already got Ukraine invaded, which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, if not millions.

                The sooner we get him out of the office, the better the world will be.

          Oh 100% I’m voting from Trump. No way I’d vote for Biden in his current condition. If something happens to Biden, Harris would in charge and I dislike her even more

            I’m just dumbfounded that anyone thinks Trump is a better choice than basically anyone. I mean it’s not that he’s unlikable, it’s that he’s a criminal con man who cares for no one but himself and is raping the country. His policies are horrid and he appoints people who actively want to dismantle government. Biden could be in a coma and do a better job. Harris seems perfectly capable even if you don’t like her.

              I am a small government republican. So I look forward to most of the garbage being dismantled. The government has grown much larger and wasteful than it needs to be.

                That’s such bullshit. The current Republican party isn’t anything close to “small government,” they only want to reduce things like the EPA and other things that cost company profits in order to protect people. They have zero problem dictating what people can do in their bedrooms or mandating religion in schools, etc.

            "I dislike her even more "

            Because she is black or because she’s a woman?

              Neither. That’s a very misogynistic and racist thing to say. That may be your reason for disliking her but that never was a concern of mine
              How about I don’t like her politics and her track record.

        You forget the choice is binary, right? There’s no 3rd option that hasn’t been an abject failure before.

        Racist? The guy who worked directly with a black guy? Two puffs and pass, from now on, okay?

    Most people agree it’s spiraling out of control, but unfortunately some think it’s going too far in one direction and others think it’s going too far in the opposite direction. The level of polarization is mind boggling.
