    I feel that, election is still a long ways off and all kinds of crazy bullshit is bound to happen, but my confidence in his electability is not high. As much as I dread it I’m mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario.

    Jesus even if Biden kicked the bucket, which I’m not hoping for but it is a very real possibility, Kamala doesn’t give me any more peace of mind. Trump stroking out would give me some brief respite but I think Haley would kick the shit out of Biden purely by not being him or Trump, and the GOP would still push most of their insane agenda through if they can.

    Things do not look good from my perspective, and I used to be an idealist

      I thought about mentioning that old age taking it course sooner than later would be good, but didn’t want to go that far. But it’s wild to think about what would happen if either (or heaven permits, both) were to do what old people do. There is part of me that hopes for it, but Harris as the main president candidate would not be a fun scenario. Right wing discourse would manage to become an even more vile sewage ditch than it is now.
