I gave you a lot of claps.

But and this is a big but, Trump's response to COVID killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

My wife and I left the United States in 2016 because we couldn't stomach what we thought was going to be Clinton II, but a Democratic Administration would have not have dismantled the pandemic readiness system, would have reacted faster and more accurately, would not have downplayed the pandemic, would distributed PPEs instead of hoarding them and selling them.

The Lancet has an analysis here.

It is deplorable that the best America could do at a key moment in its existence was Biden vs Trump.

For years I've been advocating that Democrats literally occupy the DNC and refuse to leave until all the senior management steps down. The complete power vacuum they project allows empty, evil figures like Trump to win, because they are at least more entertaining than the plastic puppets the DNC puts up.

You live in New York State. Mathematically, there's never a reason to vote R or D there. Your best voting strategy is always to vote third party.
