That Pelosi part made me want to jump into a black hole.

The lack of preparation for Biden to handle Trump's interruptions was pathetic. Didn't he have the same guy who did debate prep for Hillary, Philippe Reines, doing his prep? How woefully unprepared they were for what was clearly to be expected. His debate prep should have been with Al Franken, or a yakked out Mark Cuban.

I'm being kind of tongue-in-cheek with the comparison, kind of not.

Ah, quit pulling your punches.

The non voter numbers are always so fucking staggering to me. When 40% or 92 million people roughly don’t vote, it shows that the tsk tsk liberals have no idea what they’re doing and never will.

If only 10% of those went to the Dems they’d be in power for so long that they’d make the PRI look like amateurs!

All I can hope is that the Green Party has some progress in this election and the People’s Party is ready to go ASAP

Insightful remarks, but let's try to find some solutions instead of moaning. Bernie is doing some interesting stuff. So is THE LEAP.

Not a failed state, but we’re definitely trending toward something like Brazil. The integrity of the federal democracy is on life support, but it more or less works locally (at least where I live). My measure of failure is when local police and bureaucrats start expecting bribes on the regular.
