Almost half of this country is despicable, insane, hopelessly ignorant, or all three. And Biden, decent man he may be, is not going to be the president to fix all that.
Think about it. For decades, Biden had a pretty solid reputation overall. The worst thing anyone could say about him was that he was bit of a windbag. After just a year of deranged lies from that orange motherfucker and his equally evil cronies, 45% of the country now thinks hes some sort of corrupt pedophile. Just like that, the positive reputation of a man whos been in the public eye for almost 50 years has been severely damaged in the span of about eight months.
I have never been more pessimistic about the state of the American experiment. Tonight has been an absolute disgrace.

Purdue in GA is at 53.4% and outperforming Trump. If we catch trump in GA it will be by very narrow margins. I don't see catching purdue
I don't see any other reasonable chances, and MI is worrying me

(7,410 posts)What I'm seeing tonight has devastated any salvation I clung to regarding our national integrity. I don't have any faith it can ever progress to "a more perfect union" because too many here are fine with the worst character traits imaginable. They don't care.
The number of truly despicable Americans is genuinely repulsive.
