24. I am not quite sure what you mean?

Again none of us can be certain of the outcome in November because we are not psychic.

The only thing I am 100 percent certain of is tfg is a psychotic narcissist who has shown us every day how little regard he has for anyone else who isn't willing to bow down and worship at his feet. I just don't think doing anything to lessen Biden's chances of beating Trump is in the best interests of anyone other than Trump and his minions.

It kind of reminds me of the stories of people who ignore warnings a natural disaster is possible, but don't make any safety plans & preparations because they think having faith that nothing bad is going to happen to them is protection enough.

Hey if they survive any way that's great, but the possibility they won't is equally strong. What's wrong with being prepared to confront the worst if it happens? If it doesn't that's great. Being prepared in my book will be a lot less costly than not being prepared, if it does.

I don't look at it as a punishment. I look at as being realistic enough to know that either the best or the worst will happen, and that either way it's better to be ready for either outcome.

Any way I am done discussing it because in the end people will make their own decisions. All I know is I am voting Biden period, because Trump is an evil piece of shit, who should never be allowed in the White House again.
