I’ll bet he’s a riot on the match day thread too.

I am so sick of cowards. Cowardice is what got us here in the first place.

The fear and fawning over Trump is sickening. Prime examples are people like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, not to mention Lyndsey Graham!

As for the House Republicans, has there ever been such a large group of uneducated adults elected to office in the history of the country?

The problem is that there are large swaths of this country that couldn’t NAME all 50 states, let alone find them on a map. In fact, one of the talk shows recently did the “man on the street” quiz with a map of the world. They weren’t asking where is Estonia or Turkmenistan, they were asking “Point to the United States on this map” and “draw a circle where you think Europe is.” A fucking national embarrassment…and yet they get the same vote as the atomic scientist!!

Trump knows his base IS base, and plays to their stupidity and ego! Without his father, he would have been one of them!

Are we including Transcaucasian countries in Europe? And Greenland?

Unfortunately for America -- and the world -- the rebalancing of the seesaw is already occurring, just like Trump's venality and lies with "Hillary's emails". Now it's insane multiply-indicted cult-leading fascist insurrectionist with "Biden is old."

He's not just old though is he? He's suffering a steep cognitive decline. The very fact that he's the better option is a damning indictment of the system. He should have picked a better running mate in 2020 and handed over the baton rather than relying on Trump getting banned from the race.

Wait. What? Where is the proof he’s relying on “Trump getting banned from the race?” I thought everyone was saying Biden would get smoked by any other Republican. He shouldn’t want Trump banned.

Of course he should have announced he was a one-term President two years ago. I’ve said that several times. He didn’t, and here we are. Shoulda woulda coulda doesn’t help here.

How precisely should the system be changed?

I am cognizant so many are upset at the options. I am also cognizant that all of you think there are or should be options. You called Biden “the better option.” You are all wrong. There is only one option: whomever is running against Trump. Because no one who runs against him is an existential threat to democracy, and he is.

It is getting tiring repeating this. Every time you bring up Biden’s issues you bring everyone a little closer to getting Trump elected. You chip away at the argument that any alternative is better. You give milquetoasts the excuse they need to disengage when what they need is fucking intelligence and courage to just pull the lever.

Biden is what we have right now. Stop fucking moaning and support him, whatever his issues, or start preparing for a much uglier future.
