(7,715 posts)I'm of course supporting Biden now, but will support our candidate whoever s/he is. Totally and absolutely.
In a departure from the last several presidential elections, this election is about normalcy, not change by an outsider. If you consider the elections since 1976, almost all of them have been for an "outsider", except maybe Bush I.
I know several conservative Republicans in the South and the West that are disgusted by the Idiot occupying our White House, and either will not vote or will vote for someone besides Trump. I fully appreciate that dirty tricks, Russian interference and vote suppression may alter the balance, but I think all Democrats, most independents, and decent Republicans (of which there are plenty) are appalled.
I cannot believe the "gaffe" campaign by the media against Biden. This is the 2020 version of swiftboating, her emails, Donald Segretti-behavior etc. If that's all they have against Biden, he's going to win in a walkaway. I expect much worse, but I think he's prepared. After all, Biden would be going up against the greatest liar and gaffe-maker of them all, Donald John Trump.
I think most in this country want to get back to sanity. IMHO, a change election for an outsider won't happen until 2024 at the earliest.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
