    Biden was supposed to be an extra sail for the ship.

    An “extra sail”? He’s the president. It’s a presidential campaign. He is the ship and it’s completely submerged.

      I’m sorry that you think that most Americans think like you, and would prefer to let fascism win than elect a shitty candidate to the presidency. The reality in a two-party system like our’s, and especially one with a grotesque candidate like Trump on the opposing ticket, is that people are voting for parties every bit as much as candidates.

          It’s related to a different conversation we had, and discussed in the comments here regarding not voting against Trump, not a direct line drawn from “Biden is sunk” to “I should let fascism win”.
