So you got creepy Joe who might be dead before his first term is over, and Kamala Harris who probably shouldn't be a senator let alone running for VP.
Another Trump term might be unthinkable for some but the alternative seems equally bleak.

That's what's breaking this nation: The two-party system means we usually only get to pick between "bad" or "worse." In my entire adult life I have never had the opportunity to vote for a major presidential candidate whom I actually felt good about. Picking someone who's merely walking towards a cliff instead of running means we still go over the cliff eventually. Both the major parties are solely concerned about their own power and they're increasingly willing to burn everything down if it means they get to rule over the ashes. I feel as though I'm living in the western roman empire during the crisis of the third century, or the byzantine empire circa 1070--a great nation past its peak, still strong in the here-and-now, but stuck with a fundamentally broken government.
The wife watched the debate in its entirety and concluded that Harris is "vile" to use her word and that Pence is at least sane. Considering that both Presidential candidates are older than sand, the VP's in this election are perhaps more relevant than is usually the case.
