In the past when there's been disputes or things have been wrong, it seems like there's a clear path to sort of work things out. It doesn't seem like a clear path. It seems like every day it kind of gets a little worse, like people get ramped up even more. And then there's this event that's looming on the horizon, this November event, this election event, and no matter what, whether it's left or right, whether Biden wins or Trump wins, there's going to be madness and chaos. It seems hard for me to understand that Biden could maintain his health through a presidency. That seems very challenging to me. It seems like he's been going down with his coherence level. You can kind of see it over even months, right? He's on a really, really rapid downward spiral. It seems stressful for anybody, except Trump for whatever fucking reason. That guy eats it up. But for most people running for president alone, just the grueling, just the schedule that's involved and traveling and doing all these speeches, it just breaks them down. I mean, one of the reasons why Hillary lost was she just wasn't willing to travel as much. There was all these different events that she was supposed to go to. She just couldn't go. She couldn't take it anymore. She thought she was going to win anyway, so she just laid back. Yeah. Yeah. It definitely is a brutal thing, but it's really also just completely insane that the two candidates are these two people. Well, yeah. First of all, the best the Democrats could do. I mean, they had all these other people that were well spoken. It seemed like young and healthy. And there's so many. That is hard to comprehend. It's really hard to comprehend that. You're looking at this group of whatever, we have 350 million people, 320 million people in America, and this is who you end up with. Yeah, I mean, fucking anybody but Biden. Anybody. I mean, we don't even know who his vice president is, right? That's going to make a big deal. That's going to be a big deal because the vice president is compelling and interesting. He says he's going to pick a woman, whether he picks the problem. He was going to pick Klobuchar. Klobuchar was responsible for a lot of those guys skating in Minneapolis. So well, that's not good. And then if he's going to go with Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard kind of took the legs off of that lady. Yeah. So then who's left? Mayor Pete? He seems like a guy who's just, you know, he's got a playbook. He's kind of like following this Obama playbook. And I just don't feel it from him at all. At least he's gay. We'd have a gay guy in office that would lighten people up a little bit. I believe that we had a powerful gay leader. I think it'd be great for the country. Like I think, you know, like the one of the things about Obama being office, beside the fact being office, beside the fact that he's very articulate and educated and so well spoken statesman set is like, hey, look, we're making progress. We have a black president. Like I felt that I felt like a wave across the country. You can be president in this country. Even if you're born out of a single mother family and you're a black guy, as long as you got the goods, you can make it. This is great. This means we really are living in a meritocracy. And it would be great if there was a gay guy that had the same experience. Like all the people that are homophobes, like, yeah, but not fucking Mayor Pete. He's got me. Yeah, I'm not. The Bible says, but you know what? Fuck the Bible. I'm voting for that guy. He's better than Trump. I mean, that would be great, but he's just I don't think he's the guy. Maybe he's the guy someday. He's also a young guy. Right. So who else? Who the fuck is there? Especially since it's going to be Biden and he said it's going to be a woman. He's definitely not going to go with Tulsi. She's too fucking dangerous. The Democrats are scared of her. She doesn't play games, which is so crazy. I know. She's got everything. She got everything they want. She's a blue collar Congresswoman, served overseas, two deployments. Yeah. She's got everything. She's super articulate. She's super articulate. She's level headed. Super level headed. Very intelligent. Yeah. But she's just not corrupt. She's got this one problem. That's the one problem. I mean, other than that, you look at it like Jesus Christ, this lady, she's willing to talk to people on the other side. She's, you know, she's a stateswoman. You know, the way she speaks, she speaks like a leader. There won't even consider her. She's too dangerous. Well, I'm going back to DJ Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Yes. That's what I'm saying. Independent. Yeah. As an independent. Yeah. Dwayne and Jaco, 2020. Come on, man. We need you.
