    If Ivan is against someone, he's probably the right choice for America, though not necessarily for Russia.

    I just want an end to constant bombardment of chaos, whoever it might be.

    Went to the poll shortly after it opened with our 18-year-old, first-time voter. Line was short and his presence caused the tiniest of dips in the pretty high median age.

    Trump can barely speak anymore.
    Heavily drugged, obese, burst blood vessels in his face.
    Probably had TIAs just in the last few years alone.
    Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. Not a classic British liberal. Not a traditionalist.
    Just a Marxist.
    Nobody should be forced to support that.
    Him running under a Democratic banner is as preposterous as a third baseman being made eligible for a Gold Glove at second base.

    Agreed, but...The GOP kept the desiccated husk of Reagan in office long after he should have gone home to the calm and comfort of California. You'd think the Trump kids would care enough about their dad to stop this. Evil person or not, it borders on elder abuse. Sorry 3OF, first business should be a regime change.

    Then a third party is coming. AOC is further left than Bernie. And she's going to be running. And she's a far more compelling candidate, because she's just disingenuous enough to frame her ideas as reachable and the media will be more pliable with her than it is with Bernie.

    Whomever the Democrat in whatever year, you'll be here to proclaim that person a far leftist, and declare how you have no choice but to vote for the Republican. ... again.

    It's been the GOP playbook for decades.

    She's even more polarizing than Bernie.
    The DNC should think long and hard about not putting middle-of-the-road liberals and conservatives in a ridiculous predicament.
    Why can't we have a third party in this country? Why can't we have non-extremist/non-strident candidates? Why can't we have them under 55? It defies explanation.

    Surely you exaggerate. These are fake historical buttons that are all over social media these days.

    I can appreciate what you are saying, but there are far too many people in desperate situations in this country to sit idly for four years while someone restores dignity to the WH. That’s my main issue with Biden. I personally like the guy but I have no faith that he’d push for the change than is absolutely needed.

    Me? No.

    I had few to no issues with Hilary Clinton. Think she would have been a good president.

    Third parties by their nature become the extremist party.

    On the left I see that happening, honestly.

    I think you'll see, over time, a cogent libertarian party - free markets, liberal social policies - emerge, too. It'll be popular with journalists especially.
