    I’m expecting the dumbass voters to sit it out again in view of the expected landslide (or maybe another outrage happening across the world) and let the candidate with the convicted past into office. Again.

      This time the Democrats have an actual flesh and blood candidate who actually stands for something. If he wins, will that alter your perspective at all?

      American voters suck, just like they have always sucked, just like voters suck everyplace else. That’s the field in which the game is played.

      Being the lesser of two evils is not a good strategy. The greater evil gets all the attention and therefore enthusiasm. Good vs evil is a whole different dynamic.
