J.B., Great article. Brought up some interesting points. God I pray Biden's health and conviction hold strong. Barring that. I believe Democrats will vote Democrat. Regardless of the ticket. Newsom, Whitmer sounds good. I'll vote Democrat no matter. But Kamala? I don't want to enrage any of my sisters and brothers of another color but here comes my point, prolly on top of my head. Kamala hasn't made much noise these past three years. What Democrats need is noise. Looking at the point spread as it stands today, Biden and tRump seem pretty much even. Seems to me the winner is somewhere in the undecided weeds. Democrats need to make enough noise to get those birds to fly. How many MAGOTs are gonna change camps? How many non-white voters are gonna vote tRump, with or without Kamala? What informed minority, or low income voter would cast a ballot for the white nationalist, authoritarian party. What has Kamala done to educate, enlighten the electorate. I don't know. You tell me. You're doing a great job Mr. Moore. The party of Democrats needs to do a better job and make some NOISE!

I get excited. Hope I made sense.

I think Biden is going to be just fine. He fumbles his lines now and again, and searches for the right word, but he has always been a bit of a bumbling public speaker. The guy has accomplished much, but the Democrats will still have to deal with the Kamala Harris issue at the end of Biden's second term, or even while he is still in office should she assume power in the event of some Biden incident.

You ask: Is the American electorate so misinformed by Qanon quacks and Trump’s pathological lying and his party’s sycophantic ideology that he can be elected?

Quick answer: Hell yes. Never underestimate the obscurantists known as Magats. They (as do we) want to save democracy. They need to destroy it in order to save fascism and white supremacy, aka democracy in the argot of their underworld. We need to destroy them in order to save the political semblance of democracy as best we may. What worries me is what they'll do to subvert the vote, presuming we ALL get off our asses and do our duty.
