That might trigger the mainstream media more if a third party candidate won instead of Trump. 🙂
I wish you the best of luck. Like I said, I took that gamble in 2016, and I'm dissatisfied with the results, so this time I'll try a safer bet. Maybe one or two election cycles down the line the country will be ready for a third party, but right now it is a literal do-or-die situation on a global scale and the current administration are a bunch of incompetent buffoons lead by a petulant manchild more concerned with the baseballs he can't throw and "Muh Trade Deals" than the fact that the world is essentially in the midst of a potentially-infrastructure-shattering natural disaster/socio-political revolt. Trump had 4 years to prove himself (and one can't say "the Dems obstructed him" because
A) he had no problem supporting the GOP obstructing Obama
B) his ENTIRE platform for getting elected was that he was an outsider who could bypass the bureaucracy by "draining the swamp" and geopolitics by "getting deals done"😉
as more than Hillary's Pied Piper Candidate Pawn (which is all his dumbass ever was), and not only did he fail, not only did America not become great, it fell into the phucking sewer grate.
America is definitely one of the countries most devastated by COVID, mainly because his petulant dumbass sabotaged Obamacare instead of evolving it or Medicaid/Medicare with his so-called business acumen, which would have given all citizens the ability to get tested, but nope, he had to take a play out of the Mitch McConnell playbook of destroying everything Obama did, hilariously, tragically, and poetically setting up his own demise and possibly that of the US as well.
He is clearly too incompetent to lead during this time and he has no one but himself to blame. He could have had a different, respectable public image that the world could be looking up to right now, but instead he wanted to spend the 4 years of his presidency golfing and Tweeting instead of devoting himself entirely to the presidency like he promised in his campaign. For Trump, the presidency is clearly not the ultimate position of responsibility but rather the ultimate trophy of prestige, and the longer his reckless irresponsibility rules over the country, the more people will suffer.
Also, it's hilarious that after all those years of conspiracy theories about Obama's evil Jade Helm takeover, it is now Trump making himself dictator by suspending the election due to COVID that has everyone on their heels.
