I am genuinely worried about the future of democracy in America if true patriots don't answer this clarion call and send Joe back for one more term that will hold us together as a nation until the generational changing of the guard that is bound to happen in 2028.
As David Sedaris so eloquently said, To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of **** with bits of broken glass in it?”To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
I tend to agree that which president is elected is about as important as what food you decide to eat on an airplane. But that only makes your obsession with trump even more mysterious. If you want to eat **** with glass then i suppose you can do that...but it isnt a very political decision.
Politics is about ideas and strategy...not about people. Some people on this forum (like yourself) seem unable to speak about any ideas or strategy...they can only speak about Trump. This is fundamentally apolitical...and it is a version of being apolitical that seems to be fostered by the media you consume.
In your analogy I personally am more interested in where the airplane is going and whether it will crash, for example.
