As I watch things unfold, as a lifelong Republican, this has been depressing.
I have to admit, the Democrats have a long term strategy in place that seems sound and well thought out. Biden is a transition president to get to the younger generation. The Republicans have been imploding for some time, well before Trump (he's just a symptom). They have not had an ability to win the popular vote for at least a decade, and really more, and have only gotten the wins they have because of gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics, which is pathetic. This is what creates the issue just brought up of no one is voting for anyone because they are any good. We've been past that for a while. Would be nice to get back there, but no idea if we ever will.
I did not vote or Trump the first time and will not again for the same reasons. He's unqualified and lacks the character to be a leader. The Democrats have a better farm system to create future candidates that can be qualified and inspiring. The Republicans are very thin here and all of them tend to be old and will not be available in the future even if we wanted them to be.
I am optimistic for Biden and think the real result will be very similar to how this poll is trending as I write this with Biden taking about 60% of the vote and Trump getting less than 40%, as only his base (35%) and perhaps a percentage point or two go his way. I am optimistic that he can get things done and given that he's more moderate than some of the alternatives, I have no heartburn as a Republican voting for him and getting the full Congress to the Democrats. It is honestly the only thing that may force the Republican Party to figure this shit out and stop doing the same old, same old to try to hang on. Trump did blow things up, sadly it was mainly the Republican party, or what is left of it.
