Trump would only win if the Democrat party found someone seemingly more inept than him.

I am impressed that the Democrat party managed to present not one, but two outstandingly incompetent candidates. In a row. That's some bottom of the barrel advanced scraping techniques right there. They even managed to get a representation of both sexes.

I'm sure Mr. Biden will be terribly distraught, as soon as he is able to understand what's happening around him at the moment.

I do not understand how Elizabeth Warren didn't get more interest 4 years ago. She was clearly the best candidate and one who has the kind of broad appeal Bernie Sanders does. I think I'm at a point where my belief is that the bankers who are probably gonna vote Republican anyway who fund campaigns very explicitly don't want someone like Sanders or Warren to be president

One-fucking-hundred percent.

Warren was my choice over Bernie for strategic value even though I like Bernie more. If we didn't have explicitly Republican propaganda outlets I think conservatives would have been more comfortable with her too as she was once a Republican and understands business law.

Hell she literally wrote the book on my, and others, biggest issue "the two income trap" where society has defined economic success by "family income" instead of individual incomes. People like myself suffer because we're perpetually single so we only have one income. Family income says everything is rosy because it's now 2 incomes. :(
