Don’t like em? There were other options. Pay attention during primaries. There isn’t just one thing to vote for every 4 years. Neither one of these remaining two arrived at the podium just all based on their own assumptions.

There was Mr. dog shit, a bloody tooth, that Kennedy guy who, if Biden was horse after the debate like the news is saying ( I didn't watch it), the Kennedy guy must have eaten hoofs or something. He could barely make word noises from the bits I heard on NPR. And probably that girl who sees Alaska from her house (situated in Alaska). I'm just being sarcastic. Yeah all very weak candidates. Specially on the democratic side, no one really to pick from. I know plenty of people who would do better. Republican or Democrat. I got both. I even got a republican Joe who loves to talk about migrants. I'd vote that guy in before Biden or Trump because I know this Joe personally and he's not 80 and has full speech capacity. Anyway, we should also remember that we don't actually pick the candidates or vote for president. The candidates are presented to us as options, we pick from those options, but then the electoral college actually picks the winner. Finally, a president is just a guy. He's got no magic. He's just a dude. He doesn't create jobs or build bridges. That's all of us. We do. He just leads. So I assume there's plenty of really good leaders...who don't happen to be company plutocrats paid in the billions. Just good managers who understand the needs of the people. From that pool is where we should be picking leaders from. But there has to be much smaller niche pools where good candidates could come out from. Like the leader of a food co-op? Or maybe the organizer or a car show or street food event. Those people move others and make things happen. Moms from the ASB in school? Teachers? There's is a shit ton of people who are really smart and are good leaders at universities. And the goals are clear right now...deal with homelessness, defend against China, fuck Ruzzia really good until it decides to not have an army ever again, and vegetarian pizza options.... could we please have more?
