President COVID-19

Presidential portrait of Donald Trump

As I've been watching the Democratic National Convention (exceedingly well done, especially considering the short preparation time and the unique logistics) I continue to see people laying out exceptionally good reasons why we should elect Joe Biden our next President.  But the easiest and simplest is this:  170,000 Americans are dead in the last six months because of Donald Trump's colossal mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.

To give you an idea, more Americans have died from COVID-19 in the last few months than have died in any war in our history except the Civil War and World War II--and more than have died in all the wars America has fought since 1950 combined.  It's more Americans than have been killed by the flu over the last four years combined--and we had over 130 million cases of the flu compared to five and half million cases of the coronavirus.

I just don't think it can be overstated how historically bad Donald Trump's response to the pandemic has been--and Americans are going to continue to suffer from it for at least a generation. 

And that in itself is more than enough reason to vote for Joe Biden.

Fuck Joe Biden,
