I think this is now about I will vote for _____ because .........

I will vote for Biden because he is NOT Trump. Even should Biden win I am not convinced that Trump will be going anyplace without a battle (he claims support by military, bikers, etc). If nothing else Trump firmly believes that he has a destiny - never much cared for them with a destiny. I also have hope. It appears that Trump's daily appearances are costing him and I love it. CNN just kinda ignores him and MSNBC does their duty and shows Trump long enough so that they can cut in and point out the lies (CNN reports later). As far as I am concerned it took them too long but, at least, they are starting to cut back on all the free exposure.

Wait, what?

Yeah. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of the American populace probably sit somewhere between me and Gregor, and BOTH of us are telling you you are sounding.... sorta nuts, man.

Truly - please, take a break, man. Get away from whatever groupthing-reinforcing media or crowd is pushing you into this. I went through something similar (though perhaps not quite as extreme) in 2016, watching Trump take the GOP nomination. It wasn't good for me, and this isn't good for you frown.

Somewhere between you and Greger? Think about that for a moment, CP.
Think about what a wide chasm that is.

So, you're saying that I am to the Left of YOU, and to the Right of Greger?
Once again, think very carefully about Greger's positions.
He loves Bernie (like I do) but he won't vote for Biden, because Biden's worthless, and it would be better to have four more years of Trump.

Where do you see me on that spectrum? I am willing to hold my nose and vote for Biden.
I don't think you plotted out your visual very well, sir.

And I just finished asking Greger, and anyone else who might be interested, what a so called "revolution" would look like and how it would play out, and so far no takers.

And I'm the one freaking out?
I think those are reasonable statements and reasonable questions.

It turns out that the left is just as dumb as the right.

I am in fact renouncing socialism. Not because I no longer believe in the principles of socialism, but rather because socialists are at the moment a pack of losers. It's embarrassing.

So the revolution can carry on without me.

Also, Jeffrey is correct. THERE IS NO NORMAL. It no longer exists. The country is a quadruple traumatic amputee with 1 stained tourniquet to cover all 4 stumps, and the very best that can be hoped for is for the nation to bleed out with a little dignity.

And there people are, sniveling about how BUNRIE CAN STILL WIN and [censored] YOU, IMA VOTE FOR TRUMP IN A FIT OF ACCELERATIONIST CRAP.

But okay.

I don't have to renounce it because I've never signed on for anything more than just good old social democracy, New Deal style.

I'm just gonna concentrate on my work, given that I am "essential" and can continue to refine the technology of robotic doom sexiness. I mean, I was fine with having opposition, but then it turns out that a third of the people "on my side" are slack-jawed morons that will allow Trump to finish shitting on the republic because they are butthurt hipsters.

All humans must be consumed. It's really the only answer.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

That's a really good question, because unless you use nukes, humans literally [censored] faster than you can get rid of them.

Can't we just remove all the warning labels and let Nature take its course? If it were possible to just segregate all the COVID deniers and let them go free to go about their business, and they all caught COVID and perished, I honestly don't think I could muster a single tear.
