In an election where there can’t be two losers, once again as in 2016, Americans are faced with the difficult decision of choosing the least objectionable candidate. This is a decision most voters do not take lightly. Picking the candidate who will do the least amount of damage to American democracy and our standing in the world could have ramifications for decades to come. Future generations will look back and with the benefit of hindsight judge our effort to cast aside the least deserving of two exceedingly unworthy candidates. We cannot let them down. We cannot let America down. We must correctly identify the biggest loser and then vote for the other guy.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden possess qualities that in any other time and place would probably prevent them from getting anywhere close to the presidency. Indeed, both have unsuccessfully sought the job many times. True, Obama won twice with Biden on the ticket, but Biden’s own efforts to seek the presidency, until recently, have not fared well. And, yes, after multiple tries, Trump shocked the world and himself in 2016 with his improbable win just days after the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in over a hundred years. The universe still hasn’t stopped laughing.
Both Trump and Biden are shit-talking bullshitters of the highest order. Visitors to Bullshit Mountain may have seen their likenesses carved into its face. Granted, the excrement doesn’t flow as freely and voluminously out of the mouth of Biden as it once did, but he still has his moments. Check out his story of being arrested on the streets of Soweto trying to visit an imprisoned Nelson Mandela. Trump’s shit-talking powers seem to only sharpen with age, as evidenced by the last four years. On his current trajectory, it’s only a matter of time before he’ll refuse to condemn Satan because the devil has only ever said nice things about him.
Probably the most remarkable quality about both of these guys is their capacity for colossal self-delusion. And while it would be extremely satisfying to send both of them packing, one of them is likely going to get the job of running the country for the next four years. Therefore, we ought to reject the guy who is wholly incapable of putting the interests of the country ahead of his own, and pick the guy who may occasionally think of someone other than himself. On that count, the choice is clear, Trump needs to go, and the other guy needs to become the next President of the United States of America.
