    I’d like to quote Sam Harris from a recent podcast here because I agree with him wholeheartedly:

    I’m completely unconflicted in the claim that the first Trump term was bad and a second Trump term would be bad and it literally wouldn’t matter what else was on the menu. Pick a random American; better than Trump in the Oval Office. The likelyhood that you’ll get somebody who’s worse than Trump … is … in the order of one in a million. Hillary Clinton, for all her faults, is not worse than Trump. Joe Biden? We could have known that Joe Biden is comatose in office. Not worse than Trump.

    Should you have better choices than two >70-year olds, one of which is a complete fucking narcissistic idiot? Sure, but that’s beside the point since those unfortunately were the choices.

    Disclaimer: I’m not an American.
