Gentlemen , an estimated century ago I have been studying law and our professor for public law used to say: Before you start complaining about politicians be aware they are meat of our meat. In other words: you get what you deserve. What the currently available top US candidates just show is the status of the US society. The way to find those candidates could not be more democratic but it did not result in anything better.

I totally agree there is Dem hypocrisy regarding Biden and Kavanaugh as well as even Trump with regards to sexual harassment and misconduct. The same way the NOW (National Organization for Women) still supported Bill Clinton but screamed bloody murder about the alleged misconduct of Justice Thomas. Both parties have done so, such as Republicans backing a known pedophile in Alabama (which is by far the worse of any matter save rape by a candidate). I am not a fan of Biden. Never was. That said, it boggles the mind to equate Biden's alleged acts and his habit of showing lapses to the opposition. Are we really equating the two candidates as if both are so equally bad we might have to flip a coin to decide? In hindsight, would Hillary have been a worse President? A case can be made with not too much light between Obama and either Romney or McCain but for a few issues. But really. Are we really saying Biden is close enough to Trump that there is a wringing of hands and gnawing of teeth decision? Biden has the real potential to suck as President. But to consider an additional 4 years of this? Especially having to deal with a full blown recession and probably second wave of the virus? A man who has bankrupted a real estate empire he inherited while his contemporaries in the same business didn't? I'm missing something obviously.
