we're in the middle of a raging pandemic, the economy is at a standstill, job losses are in the tens of thousands..we've become a nation of anti-social agoraphobics..this is our reality...Joe Biden is not Hillary..he doesn't have her baggage...emails, Benghazi, Comey..and we know about Russian involvement in our election..and we've stopped playing nice...and we know Trump, really know him...not the reality tv guy but the depraved malignant sociopath..the racist, the conman..and this election isn't a referendum on the Clintons..this is regaining our standing on the world stage and reclaiming who we are as a people...so yes, I feel confident or should I say cautiously confident...

the main problem is Trump himself and his cronies running our security agencies. if Putin's agents haven't thoroughly perforated our voting machine security in the last few years, i'd have to ask Mr. Putin what he's paying them for anyway. Trump's going after vote-by-mail hard, trying to push everyone to vote in person at virus-friendly polling places where he'll have deployed his mercenaries and local-PD loyalists to threaten minorities and depress turnout.

i have yet to see the situation directly addressed in a constructive manner.

as such, i can only believe we're in for another nasty surprise on Nov. 4. i have no doubt enough people want to vote for Biden/Harris and down-ticket Democrats to put us over the top. i really doubt enough will be able to vote and/or have their votes counted correctly.

then, in 2022, the mishandled census results will set us back in the house for another 9 years.

as you say, not a normal election cycle. not normal at all.

but with all of that I'm still cautiously optimistic...and that says a lot for me because I'm Jewish and I live in the Land of Oy...I always anticipate the worst and if the worst doesn't happen this time it will the next...and yet I feel something akin to hope..go figure...

Vote for the Biden Harris ticket.

Not voting or voting for a third party candidate is tantamount to voting for trump

and intimidate the base of clueless, racist orange eaters, with Russian help, to scare up enough EC voters and he can slither into office again. But he can never win. It would be a lie, just like his life is a lie.
