The coming presidential election this fall is not a referendum on Trump. [View all]

Nor is it a referendum on Biden.

It's a referendum on all of us as Americans.

Who are we collectively? Who are we as a nation? Now, I understand that it's not a popular vote contest. However, that's still not an excuse. If enough states do indeed provide Trump with the electoral votes that he needs, then we have to accept who we are as a nation. We can't say, "well, I live in blue state...", like that makes a difference. That's akin to saying, "well, I don't live in a slave state, so that's no reflection on me".

If this nation puts Trump back into office after this, that's a very devastating statement about this nation and its people.
