Honestly, and I know it's moot now, I'm not sure I could vote for say Bloomberg and would probably end up spoiling the ballot. Biden I'm seriously on the fence for as to whether I I would want to even bother. Thank god I'm not an american voter.

The problem is the Democrats are running against Trump, the guy. This should have been a normal election against a 2nd term President, but the Democrats are pouring the hearts out and the angry 70 year olds think this is their last and best chance to be President.
I'm going to use SCD's analogy from earlier. There are 1000 people shouting vitriol against Trump and are louder than the 5000 people whispering that things are ok.
To me, this election in November is simple question for all voters. It your day to day life better or worse than it was 4 years ago?
Here's an over/under. Will Biden get more or less votes than Hillary? Is there a voter who voted for Hillary who would not vote for Biden? Is there a voter who didn't vote for Hillary who would vote for Biden?
