Atlantic endorsement of Biden

[butters]

fueled mainly by the disastrous presidency and ugly character of trump. Biden is only the 4th candidate ever to be endorsed by them in 163 years:

What we have learned since we published that editorial is that we understated our case. Donald Trump is the worst president this country has seen since Andrew Johnson, or perhaps James Buchanan, or perhaps ever. Trump has brought our country low; he has divided our people; he has pitted race against race; he has corrupted our democracy; he has shown contempt for American ideals; he has made cruelty a sacrament; he has provided comfort to propagators of hate; he has abandoned America’s allies; he has aligned himself with dictators; he has encouraged terrorism and mob violence; he has undermined the agencies and departments of government; he has despoiled the environment; he has opposed free speech; he has lied frenetically and evangelized for conspiracism; he has stolen children from their parents; he has made himself an advocate of a hostile foreign power; and he has failed to protect America from a ravaging virus. Trump is not responsible for all of the 220,000 COVID-19-related deaths in America. But through his avarice and ignorance and negligence and titanic incompetence, he has allowed tens of thousands of Americans to suffer and die, many alone, all needlessly. With each passing day, his presidency reaps more death.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

What a succinct statement by the Atlantic about Trump's "legacy".

The most disturbing part of this whole story is the number of people who still support Trump running the nation into the ground for the short-term economic or spiteful benefit of his followers.

America and everything about her was just perfect before 2017 wasn't it?? a nation completely at ease with itself and a totally ethical foreign policy.

Nobody said America was perfect prior to 2017, despite the fact that right-wingers tend to pose such question in an extreme fashion.

But people are saying that prior to 2017 it was not in a state of chaos and conflict every week.

There is only really chaos and conflict in Democrat run states/cities.

I don't think there are a lot of undecided voters, but I suspect the ones we have are mostly going to break for Biden. Anyone undecided this late, it's generally because they're not sold on the incumbent, and I find it hard to believe in the end people are going to go, "Yep, four more years of this is just the ticket!"

It reminds me some of 1980, remembered now as a landslide, but a race that was considered dead even or with a small lead for Reagan for virtually the entire fall. What was going on is that there were millions who thought Carter had done a bad job, but weren't sold on Ronnie being an acceptable alternative. Those voters all went with him in the voting booth.

I love how they blame Trump for leftist behavior and temper tantrums over Trump.

No, pointing out facts showing all the "division" and "chaos" is really just a (D) hissy fit over democracy not going their way.

The lefts TDS freak out, isn't Trumps fault...it's theirs, they are responsible for their behavior, not Trump.

“How will undecideds vote on election day? Traditionally, there have been two schools of thought about how undecideds in trial heat match-ups will divide up at the ballot box. One is that they will break equally; the other, that they will split in proportion to poll respondents who stated a candidate preference.

But our analysis of 155 polls reveals that, in races that include an incumbent, the traditional answers are wrong. Over 80% of the time, most or all of the undecideds voted for the challenger.“

A perfectly understandable impulse, even if it sometimes leads to grave electoral blunders by the voters.

It is significant, despite the horrible past of the Atlantic. Pushing us into Iraq and all that Jazz.
