He's a nice, intelligent, only-sometimes-slightly-awkward dude who cares. Or at least, that's how he comes across to me, and probably in general, as long as people manage to watch any footage of him that isn't the Fox News "Joe Biden Stuttering So He Has Dementia Supercut". My grandma would tell me that "Biden clearly has dementia" every single day that I took care of her earlier this year. She couldn't remember that she had already told me just a few hours prior, because she has dementia. She forgot to vote Trump this year. Bummer.

If Biden wins, great, and it looks very, very likely. Currently like 19:1 odds. If Trump actually vacates the White House, hell yeah, but this isn't over. Some sort of sado-populist genie has been uncorked and has deeply seeped into the political landscape, and I don't think it's going away without us all addressing it at the grassroots level.

And this disruption is not a uniquely American thing. The core of it seems to be exploitation of the internet to undermine a collective, common reality, without which we are much more susceptible to being pitted against other not-ruling-class citizens, while the ruling class robs the citizenry blind. It's not really a partisan issue, when you frame it in those terms.

Regarding that framing, yes, there are plentyyyyy of problems with the democratic party, but... "cmon, man!", as Joe would say. Trump's pathetic.
