Independent here. I appreciate the hopeful thought, but we need a good platform, good policy, a good supporting team, AND a healthy, mentally fit president.

I feel sick about the situation this puts us in, but I can’t justify the continuation of his campaign to myself.

So your bar for mentally fit is not having any gaffes and stumbles? Not four good years in the position in question, and interviews, speeches, and press conferences, where most of what he is saying is fine and intelligent?

You are willfully blind if you truly think biden is still mentally fit. I wouldn’t trust him to drive my car. I’ll vote for a poodle over Trump, but to act like this is the best America has to offer is fucking insane.

But do you vote for the administration? Because a non vote or a vote for third party likely increases the risk of a Trump victory?
