Part of my family is from US and they all have declared themselves proud democrats, since the 1930s, but they did not voted for Clinton (abstained), they did vote for Biden (very much underestimated in his accomplishments) and now some of them will vote Harris, some other will abstain.
IS it really impossible to find 2 good candidates like for example Romney and Obama? It is less than 20 years ago that they were candidates but it looks like geologic eras have passed in between.
Romney is a Mormon, but he is a respectful person. He is not my cup of tea, but I think he is the kind of candidate the Republican should put in place
Harris is a run-of-the-mill Democrat politician. Trump is wanting to tear down our checks-and-balances in order to massage his toxic ego.
You're right, neither candidate is ideal -- but this idea that they're both simply and equally mediocre is not accurate. Harris is mediocre. Trump is malignant.
As for Romney, he too gave his support to Trump before turning on him. The Republicans are going to have a hell of a time putting their party back together after Trump loses, which I think will be the outcome of this election.
