Apparently he managed to preside over the NATO summit. He's been leading the country pretty well these four years. I liked Kamala and voted for her for Senate. So Biden has 15 times the amount of legislative and leadership experience than Harris but since its all about looks over substance. I guess she'll be fine. Why not? It's not like she'll beat Trump or anything

Yes, Biden has done astoundingly well at actually 'presidenting' and runs circles around just about anyone in his ability to push legislation through Congress. Not to mention creating an international coalition for Ukraine. Unfortunately, I don't think this election is about how good Biden is at his job as president. Otherwise, this race would not even be close. Trump should be losing by double digits. To paraphrase a famous quote, nobody ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people. I hope I'm being too cynical.

Absolutely not. I do realize that the majority of people are ignorant. But that's why smart people and the Democratic Party have to hammer it home that they are behind Biden 24/7. That he would be the greatest president who ever lived. If we show weakness and give up on out candidate, we are saying the that being a really good president doesn't matter and if it doesn't matter, why not Trump. At least we'll be amused. Except for his being a fascist, rapist, NAZI and a lot of people might very well be killed.

You do have a good point about how Democrats always betray doubt and disunity in themselves, something Trumpist NEVER do.

Thanks. It would be easier if we didn't care

I'm sure you and I will be okay, probably, so why worry? Be happy. Wipe you laptop history clean so the MAGA police who hire Chinese IT experts to scan everyone's internet comments.

Fortunately I live in a blue area of a blue state. Good point about scrubbing histories. I am concerned that tech companies will roll over for Trump (revealing internet histories, emails etc) because they are afraid of being targeted. Hell, that's half of why companies (tech bros are another matter; half of them are authoritarian-curious) are making nice to him NOW.

You are absolutely correct. I'm in CA so if I can stay off the internet. I can take up gardening and long walks on the beach.
