Anyway, after reading up more stuff about her, and how the "Kamala is a Cop" hashtag started, I feel a bit better about her potentially becoming president. I'm not hugely enthusiastic, but I have a kernel of hope for the future and I won't complain quite so much. Her record on sex workers still sucks though.

I am not enthusiastic about either Biden or Trump being president either. I used to joke which would you rather have, your hand cut off or your arm cut off at the elbow.

Now it seems like it's about even. Just a matter of which arm you want cut off.
I got nothing to say here.

The more optimistic have framed it as a choice between letting the cancer run its course or getting chemo, but yeah. I can't even blame you.

If you want something to hope on, Biden is very old and not healthy, and will probably die in office. Plus there's still the down-ticket candidates to vote for.

Man I do not have enough whiskey in this house.

Trump isn't exactly healthy either. Compare him to when he did interviews even ten years ago versus how he does now. Back then he could form complete sentences and convey what his actual thoughts are. Whereas now, he repeats himself and really doesn't seem to be able to say what he is thinking clearly.

I think both Biden and Trump are both in the same boat cognitive wise. Trump isn't exactly at a good weight for someone his age either. His diet is pretty bad too.

I mean whoever wins, you really have to pay attention to the VP. We already know about Pence and IMO I kinda feel like he doesn't have a backbone.

Kamala would be the wild card.

I'll bet you $5 dollars the position you think ABS is taking/you judoed him into is not the position he actually takes.

Trump's always been more of an enterprising mindset on cruise control. Biden's kind of like a southwestern Gavin Newsom.

I kinda made a wide sweeping generalization when I said that. I do think both of them are going through some sort of mental decline. Different from each other but a decline.

But it will be a interesting debate. Though I suspect Trump will try to get Biden to play his game of showmanship and less political matters.
