"Nobody's voted so how can you really know for sure?"
And yet here you are... so sure of what can't happen while indicting others for the same. Much as when you alleged Biden's opening day announcement was so poorly done despite zero evidence supporting your premise.

Though it's convenient to hold others to a lower standard than we hold ourselves to, doing so is often far more obvious than we'd like to think (as are so many things).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
