I've avoided talking about politics here, for the most part, because it's become such a divisive issue. However, those of you who know me should be aware that I was very involvedin politics in my past, and studied political science in college.
That said, I was devastated by the debate last night. On the one hand we have a candidate who lied about almost everything he said. In a normal world we'd all laugh about that and know that he would get demolished come November, however on the other hand we have a candidate who looks, and sounds like he's suffering from dementia. I know a little bit about this disease as my father has it, his mother had it and her mother had it, and I can recognize a lot of the symptoms.
You can say it's "ageism" but the fact is, nobody should be President at Biden's age. I cannot believe he will make it through his term. He's just not physically capable of the demands of the office. I'm not arguing what his administration has/hasn't accomplished, because sadly that's not going to be the central issue of the election. While we elect the "administration" we vote for a president, and therin lies the rub.
I will unfortunately have to vote for someone who I believe is unfit for the job to avoid voting for someone who I believe is going to take our country to a place I don't want to go. Make our country into something that it shouldn't be, and divide our people. I think it's a pointless gesture on my part, because after watching the debate I cannot see Biden winning the election. He looked lost at times and had the same vacant start my dad gets when he has no idea what's going on.
I'm terrified as to what the future holds for the US.
