I'm not quite falling off the edge of the cliff anymore, although my husband thinks I'm delusional and that Biden will be replaced or it's a landslide at all levels for Rs. I've told him it can't happen unless it's Harris which would also mean a landslide for fascists. Our only chance is riding with Biden, even if it looks horrible right now. Obama totally bombed at his first debate as an incumbent, it was so embarassing. He too let Romney lie and lie and rarely responded and he wasn't old. He was over prepared not to be the angry black man. Biden should have cancelled, but he didn't and we now live with this terrible narrative of him being fatally old and frail. It makes my blood boil. Guess I'm still near the edge, but at least my toes aren't over the edge anymore. I know Biden is intelligent, it just takes him a minute to get there due to his age. He's still 100% a better choice than tcf, but I don't know that it matters when millions saw him so lost and msm heavily favors tcf.
However, we have our lives to live. I refuse to be psychotic about this although I'm sure other freak outs will come. I will volunteer and write post cards, maybe phone bank and will 100% vote for Biden. If the worst happens, as it could, we will deal then. Yes, I'm afraid, but things could be worse. So freaking glad we own our home free and clear. As long as we can come up with the taxes, they can't take this away. Big yard = big garden plus lots of room for our Aussie to run.
OTOH, still hoping tcf's dementia will show itself enough to disqualify him in the eyes of the majority of our country. He will not face justice since the rw legal system is trying to put him back as president so they can get the oligarchy established.
