I could like this comment a hundred times, Peter. I am one of those old school democrats forced out of a party I do not recognize anymore. But at the moment I’m marooned politically. We have no saviors on any side. Maybe trump is the Dems scapegoat and distraction from their utterly empty and dangerous ideology and policies. My only grandchild is wrapped in the web of democrats evil transgender child sacrifice weapon. I fear for her/his very life. This alone disqualifies any democrat from my vote. Along with the heinous behavior during covid. Warmongering. So much. Trump is not evil. Dems should look in the mirror more.

As a longtime and extreme libertarian, I've never been "in" either party. Each election is its own moment, and I vote for who will do the most good--or more commonly who will do the least damage.

I was not a Trump fan in 2016, although I did respect his innovative and unbelievably energetic campaign strategy. As President pre-COVID he was a solid B/B+; in 2020 he was an abysmal failure, all due to the Pandemic Panic and to Operation Warp Speed--two sins for which he has yet to give good account.

Yet despite all that, at present if the choice is Biden (or the Democrat du jour) or Trump, Trump wins. After everything I've watched the Democrats do since 2021, there simply is no credible alternative.
