    YOU aren’t picking shit. The Dems are not running a primary. Downvotes make me horny.

      I am choosing where to invest my time and political contributions. I am choosing which candidates to support, which ones I research, which ones I talk about with friends. I acknowledge that I don’t have much influence on the overall election, but I prefer to be informed of the news of the day. Unfortunately, more people take pride in their ignorance, loudly proclaiming that they don’t follow politics because they can’t be bothered to participate, and they don’t think it will do much good anyway.

      IF Biden is deteriorating, we should know what the contingency plan is. We should be talking about how to beat Trump should Biden get worse. Trump can shit into his own mouth, and his supporters will call it gourmet brunch. Biden doesn’t have that luxury. Joe needs to maintain the illusion that he’s in control of his faculties, and if the cracks are showing, I want to be aware of it.

      It would be weird to me that you don’t, but then I just assume you have an ulterior motive for trying to convince others not to care.
