    There’s plenty of time to build up someone else. Plenty.

    I’d be a more excited to vote for Josh Shapiro or Michelle Obama or Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or some other good candidate, but I’d vote for Joe Biden any day of the week.

      I know nothing about Josh Shapiro, Michelle Obama has stated that she doesn’t want the job, I also know very little about Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom is a shit head.

      I say this as someone who follows politics more than average. If I don’t know much more than the fact that three of the four people you mentioned are governors and the other is a former first lady with no political aspirations, what do you think the general public knows?

        Given the fact that a large part of the American population is dumber than a bag of rocks, probably not much. But there’s plenty of time to teach.

        Then again, I don’t think it makes much of a difference. People made up their minds on Biden vs Trump a long time ago and they are in their trenches. The US is truly in a sad state, and it’s quite embarrassing when I talk to family members and friends overseas.
