I rarely went into the politics forum on Max but wanted to post something on the new site here so here it is.
The choice between Biden and Trump is depressing. Biden has been a pathological lying corrupt politician his whole career. Now he’s senile on top of it. Trump is a petty narcissist and I worry that he will spend his 4 years in office just trying to get revenge on all who he thinks has wronged him. It’s unbelievable that the United States of America has these 2 to choose from. Crazy
I agree. Looking at it from a non US resident's perspective I have to wonder how a nation got to the point of having to choose which wildly inappropriate and unqualified candidate for president was less detestable.
As to the vicious polarization in US politics, It brings to mind the line from Lincoln's famous1858 speech......"A house divided against itself can not stand"
(Interesting factoid.....the phrase is from the King James bible and was used 8 years earlier by Sam Houston.)
Scary times indeed for the US.
