    Maybe there’s millions of qualified people other than Trump and Biden in the US? Why do Americans have to settle for just these 2? Why does Biden get to say he’s the only one that could beat Trump, if that’s objectively not true?

      I can’t think of anyone else who could beat him. I really believed that Clinton could do it, and technically she did, but she didn’t beat him bad enough. A lot of people thought he was just playing himself up to win and wouldn’t be so bad once he got in (myself included). He showed them he wasn’t playing anything up and a vote against him got the largest turnout in history.

      I really thought (and prayed, and begged the universe) that Sanders would get a shot.

      Damn, what a mess. What a stressful, stressful, mess.

      With a gay kid and a trans kid, I really do worry about their future. All we can do is ride the rock and hope for the best though. Well, that and vote against the dude who openly despises certain groups.

      Edit:

      Why didn’t you 9 name a candidate and why you think they’d win. Come on now, it’s a social forum. Get social.

      Edit 2:

      Chomp chomp. That’s me eating my words and praying I’m wrong on 7/21
