I am getting rid of my Yugo
zybex:
I think many will vote for anyone that is not Biden or Trump. Polls show Kamala ahead of Trump, she has a good shot. Not the ideal candidate at this time, but at least she's young.

I want to give Biden a nod for trying to fight the odds, but in the end, deciding that the country needed a change.
If it's Kamala, then fine. Her polling against trump is about even with Biden's at this time.
I can think of several others who would also be good. Nobody's perfect.
What's important now is that we have a careful discussion about what we want and that we let our leaders know.
The corrupt (political) Supreme Court and the abortion issue may take on more importance now. I think many don't realize how the blatantly political appointments have led to losing some of our rights.
But, Thank You Joe Biden!

"“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media shortly after Mr. Biden announced that he was ending his campaign." -- NY Times
Let's hope Trump bows out now. Sanity is a necessary quality for serving as President. Honesty helps. Decency. We've had many excellent Republicans in the office.

I don't think that's the issue. I think with her it's the same issue Hillary Clinton had (well, to an extent, her other skeletons in her closet also attributed to her loss) in 2016 and it's something I don't think most people understand really.... there's a lot of people out there not ready to have a woman President. Yes, even in this day and age. I don't think it'll happen (well, if it'll happen depending on what happens like Trump getting elected and Project 2025 being rolled out) at least for another generation or two. Unless some miracle happens, which I don't think it will.

In my honest opinion, sanity bowed out as a necessary quality a long time ago sadly or else we wouldn't be in the shape we're in now. Hell, sanity and decency in general seems to be part of a dying breed. I would highly welcome both back right now with open arms though...
