Superficially, yes. Biden is "better" but is not actually "good". Years of lesser evil voting has not produced a good candidate.

I realized that if a successful vaccine is distributed early enough in October that Trump's popularity could go up. Of course, I'd have to be succesful and arrive around the 20th, so it's a risky game, but this gives him a chance to win.


Not really. It’s already mutating.

Ah, but you clearly do. They've been dead for centuries but you are still invested in the value of their wisdom, even if the people currently running America are not.

Sure, I have a favorable opinion of America's founders. However, I would also say that very, very few Americans have read anything they wrote, and less believe it.

You think the voters are going to see the timing and take is a sign the Great Man can solve all problems given enough time?

I think the voters can tell the Great Man knows nothing about medicine, and that's probably for the better!

Uh, San Lumen? I have faith in you to vote the straight Dem ticket, even if the Pres candidate was Mitt Romney (D)

Who has the vaccine? Who are good, of course we look at it before everyone gets it, but if they have good vaccine, who are we to say no?
