    Many are claiming it is. What do YOU say?

    Of course not! At my age, the best ones are in the past. It's still firm, but definitely not the erection of....

    oh. never mind.

    No.

    People always make it a bigger deal than it actually is and say this every time around.

    Considering the incredible polarization of our nation, I'd say yes.

    The choice is between a total dipshit and a 40 plus year swamp geezer. More like the election nightmare of my lifetime.

    Well, despite you interpretations, it matters much more than an election nightmare.

    I’m well aware what’s at stake. Unfortunately, the Republican Party sold its soul to Donald Trump and now we’re going to see the pendulum swing way to the left simply because there is no center any more. I’m a center-type guy and I am uncomfortable with extremes on either side of the political spectrum. And that’s all we have.

    Disagree about the extremes part. Biden is really pretty centrist.

    I don’t think Joe is too far left, but I think that there’s a lot of pressure in the party to move that direction.

    Yes.

    I don’t remember too many Republicans who wanted to shoot everyone or everything they could if Gore or Kerry won.

    meanwhile on the other side I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so much hatred towards the clown and Chief like I’ve seen for Trump.

    neighbors hate each other for what signs they have in their yard.

    just today on the Terwilliger curves I cut off a Trump flag douche in his little penis truck while I was working and it felt great.

    Trump came in as a complete D.C. outsider with intentions to drain the so-called swamp, among other unconventional plans and policies. The Dems were in NO way about to let him accomplish that and have been employing "the best defense is a quick, decisive, and everlasting offense" method. And, unfortunately, we've been rapidly polarizing ever since.

    Biden leans too far to the right for my tastes.

    (just my two cents)

    The party/nation wouldn't be led by Joe, though. He'd have his leftfield team running the show as he helplessly stands by. Book it, Danno.

    There were two other whopper elections:
    Kennedy vs Nixon;
    McGovern vs Nixon.
    But this one tops those two by far.

    agree...and if he at the last minute even declares he's going to the extreme left with democratic socialism, Ill vote libertarian. I dont see him doing that however.

    Think 2016 was bigger because it gave Trump total power as he also had the House and Senate.

    I didn’t realize you were gonna change the topic to Trump’s “handling” of the pandemic. But you give an outstanding description. You rock, dude.....even when you’re not trying (use whatever definition of the word “trying” you want).
