Everyone outside of white supremacists already know this. You're preaching to the choir.

Republicans understand that projecting faultless confidence is an advantage in a head to head race.

Democrats... And those who claim to be Democrats... Seems to believe that passing through a labyrinth of strife and tribulation is somehow an advantage. Vetting candidates with fire only makes sense if you are in an environment where good faith prevails.

Wanting to know why they’re so quiet about Trump? They’re voting for him.

As somebody who watches this whole US election circus from the outside, it seems to be like Americans treat the election like fantasy football, except at the end of the day if you player gets injured somebody has to go out there and break the dudes legs for real.

Trump could be in a vegetative state, literally medically braindead, and Trump voters would still line up to cast their ballots for him.

That's what happens when you have a cult of personality, it takes on a life of it's own and becomes more of an identity than an ideology. They don't care what Trump stands for or even if Trump stands, all that matters is that they are Trump people and they only want to associate with their kind.

For the rest of us, things like fitness and policy matter, which is why Biden was held to account and Trump will never be. There is no line that cannot be crossed.
