Thanks, Steve, for another deep response. I know I will vote in November as I have this sinking feeling that it could be the last time we have an election and I just vote as my civic duty, though I think living in South Carolina, my voice doesn't mean much. I don't think it is being fatalistic to state that anymore. My sister and I discussed how neither of us had the heart to watch the "debate." We both know how we are voting so it wasn't going to change our minds about anything. At her home in Atlanta, she was dealing with debate and World Cup traffic and decided to hold up at home and watch a movie. I binge watched "My Lady Jane," a magical realism series that totally upends the Jane Grey story, but is as plausible as what we are living through now and much more desirable. We can only keep the faith.

I think you both made the right choice! I don’t think it will change much, but I am frustrated by how much hyperbole I’ve seen about how bad Biden supposedly was. For a sick, tired, elderly man, he did fine. If folks want a different candidate, which is reasonable, I’d love to see a different argument.
