Obviously Biden is not good enough to get overwhelming support against the biggest lunatic ever to hold office.

If these are the two best candidates available in the US........

The odds reflect the opportunity for baldy orange cunto to rig the vote.

Make no mistake though Biden is objectively the better candidate. In fact he's just objectively a better human being.

But Trump supporters don't care about objectivity and the GOP have spent decades gerrymandering and otherwise manipulating the archaic Electoral College to their favor. Part of me is kinda hoping Trump does get reelected at this point just to watch the whole shit-show collapse and his supporters perform logic gymnastics to blame the Libs when he takes their health care and social security away from them.

For many, life has become boring and chances are few. Trump is a reshuffle of the pack or shake of the dice. Maybe the outcome so far isn't enough and they need more shuffling. These people have nothing to lose to worry over.

Yup and they've seen enough of Trump by this point to know exactly what he is so if that's what they think reflects their values and interests then so be it.

The only issue is that should he win again it will doubtless be another minority of voters electing him and the damage and suffering won't be limited to them.

What sort of reshuffling allows a President to put lobbyists in charge of bodies designed to regulate their industries?

What sort of reshuffling allows a President to line his own pockets with complete disregard for norms or laws?

What sort of reshuffling allows a President to pack the administration with family members?

What sort of reshuffling allows a president to dismantle pandemic protections and then ignore a pandemic that has killed 180,000 Americans?

What sort of reshuffling allows a president to give *massive* tax breaks to the rich?

What sort of reshuffling allows a president to make his country a global fucking laughing stock?

What sort of idiot would vote for a philandering crook with a record of bankruptcies and stiffing small businesses and expect him to "reshuffle the pack" in their favour?

Anyone who voted for him was a sandwich short of a picnic; anyone who votes for him again has an empty hamper.

63 million of them . . .

People like candidates that they can identify with.
And there’s millions of fat, selfish, stupid lying bastards in the USA.
Concepts such as truth and community have no meaning for them.

That any military or ex-military person supports a draft dodger is an indictment of the lack of awareness in the peasantry.

And that orange turd is a lazy bludger too.

A man of the people. Despite his millions.
