Too bad: of all the candidates he seems among the "sanest."

Kudos to him for standing up to the orange oaf on Insurrection Day.


Holy mother of Christ. Pence seems the 'Sanest?' I really don't want to know who the other options are.

Sadly, it is probably true. He may be religious which I don't like, but he may have been the best of the options.

For the first time this year (two weeks ago now,) I voted early. It was an extremely easy process. You literally just show up to an early voting station, give them your ID, they scan it, and it populated a ballot on an assigned voting booth. You press the choices (which this election are very localized depending on where you live,) and verify, and it prints a ballot, which you then bring over to the primary machine and the voting officials scan in. This whole process takes about 2 mins. Very easy, way faster than even my fastest experience on election day. The fact that it opened on the same block as where I work made it even more appealing (took like an extra 5 mins out of my workday.)

I would highly recommend early voting to anyone who does not like dealing with election day drama. Probably the best voting experience of my life (the reason I cannot label mail voting as this is the last two elections there have been admin issues since the new nonsense GA law, which required verification and nullified the benefits of voting from home, so considering the negatives even if they are delayed, this is an overall more streamlined experience.)

(This is a review for GA early voting.)

Highly recommend, and very proud that I tried it this cycle.

As has been the case for years now, everything the righties accuse about Biden’s mental decline are 100x more true with Donny.

Biden has clearly shown way more signs of mental decline than Trump. You have to be an ostrich with your head in the sand to disagree. Donnie’s reasons for not being suitable for the Presidency are more about his mental state than mental decline. As mentioned many times, Biden is doing ok for an octogenarian if all he had to do was play ball with his grandkids, grill a steak occasionally, and play pickleball. Vote for Biden if you wish, but stop with the denying his obvious mental decline!

The problem with Trump is that he has had severe mental issues his whole life so it may be harder to detect.

The reality is both are aging, and not in peak health, and probably have a decline. That being said, I would take a declining Biden over a declining Trump any day.

Heck, Biden can be in a coma the next 4 years and it would still be better than 4 years of Trump without question (it may even be better than 4 years of Biden being himself....)

So you are saying that Donny used to be stable?

He used to be able to speak without slurring and not knowing where he was.

Trumps mental decline is nowhere near the decline that Biden has exhibited. Not even close. But as others have mentioned, Trump was never particularly sharp. Biden as a career politico was able to handle himself easily behind the mic until recently.

And I won’t be voting for either. Might be 3rd straight Presidential election I vote for myself.
