I did not want Hilary and Pelosi running the country so I voted for Trump in 2016.  But I look at where our country is now - the virus, the huge racial divide, Trump cozying up to Putin, and the endless negativity, I don't think our country can survive another 4 years.  On the other hand, I believe that Biden is a paper candidate and that Kamala Harris was handpicked by Obama to ensure we have more black leadership.  I don't see not voting as a vote for Biden - I see it as a "vote" of no confidence for either choice.  

I agree that Trump has taken on issues that others would not touch, and I don't blame the virus or his handling of the virus on him.  It's easy to say "I would do this or that" when you are not the one having to make the decisions.  Biden can say whatever he wants, but he wasn't in the hot seat.  The virus came from China, I think deliberately, and the country was not ready - and it wouldn't have mattered who was in the WH.  But if he is re-elected, I see nothing happening for the next 4 years - deadlock between Congress and the WH, the debt continuing to rise (which will also happen if Biden is President).  I really wish that Republicans has asked Trump to step aside and found another candidate.  

If elected, I expect that he will serve for a year and be pushed out of the job by Harris.  Democrats will pander to the minorities (as we have already seen) and we'll have yet another elected leader to make an apology tour.  

At my age, I really don't want to be forced into voting the lesser of two evils again.  Neither of them are fit to be President and I don't want to have it on my conscience that I voted for someone not fit to be President.
