5. I truly hope we can.

Because I fear that I'm seeing a repeat of 2015/2016-era "bothsiderism" propaganda — almost the exact same talking points.

Thankfully, I do not think a lot of these people will vote (which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it). But those who do, will likely vote for a 3rd party candidate. If there enough, then the election results may be similar to 2016's where Stein received more than the margin in crucial states.

We cannot afford another Trump victory. I will do everything I can to help get Biden and Dems elected — but I cannot control what other people do or what (dis)information they fall for, and I do not have high confidence in a lot of Americans.

More venting, I guess. Ha. I think Biden has a 55/45 - 60/40 chance of winning, but still… it's going to be a very, very difficult road ahead of us.
