Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

^^That was the case, they are not now and History means nothing. If you just look at the past 10 years they are Right Wing Religious Fruit Loops. Australia was going down that path with the Pentecostal Minister for Everything. The Liberal Party in Victoria is in the Religious cycle at the moment.

This is surely a winning campaign slogan:

"Biden's brain is ageing, Trump's is dementing" :lol:
Dr. John Gartner on a tale of two brains: "Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing. This is a fundamental breakdown in the ability to use language," the renowned mental health expert says of Trump.

Expect to see #DementiaDonald overtake #DiaperDonnie in the hashtag stakes:
#TrumpIsNotWell Trends On X, He ‘Needs A Psychiatric Evaluation’

In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I mean, sure, but that could just as easily be a "stay home and don't bother" slogan. Unfortunately, that's a perennially popular voting decision in the US, and having two weak candidates only provides further (anti-)motivation.

But given voting is not compulsory, the real question you’d have to ask, is there enough people motivated to actually vote for Biden to secure victory.
And that is the reason why Trump may well win. Because it is not worth the effort to brave the freezing US late November fall to vote for a man who agrees with genocide, who will stop at nothing to maintain and escalate the war against Russia, who adopts the same policies as Trump in regard to immigrants, and who has intervened into industrial disputes in order to impose savage real wage cuts to workers.
Trump may well win by default.
When you are offered two choices: to die by nuclear holocaust, or to die under the repression of a fascist dictator, ultimately many may choose not to make a choice at all.
And that means, that the choice will be made for them.
Unless an alternative political perspective emerges.

A consolation prize for Nikki Haley, who's still running for some reason:
