Forgive Trump's failures but if you believe Biden is a better candidate then try to vote him in. To hold onto anger only hurts you.

Sheri Pardue Because I am Australian, I don't have any real skin in the game. From my Australian perspective I couldn't support either side and would vote for least worst which would be decided by what I consider most important and whether the other candidate would do a better job. So for me it's all hypothetical. The key societal measures of the US are worse on all accounts basically. If compared to the most similar countries culturally , the 5EYES countries of which Australia is one, the US has lowest life expectancy, highest incarceration rate, highest homicide rate, highest suicide rate, largest wealth inequality, highest government debt to GDP, highest proportion of the population who are illegal immigrants (US and South Africa also, refer to them as undocumented residents) and arguably healthcare inequalities in excess of the other countries which all have universal healthcare, noting Australia probably still spends less as a proportion of GDP on public healthcare than the US. So if I was an American with some general knowledge of the world my position is where do you start. The internet means anyone with an internet connection and basic skills can find out a lot of information in literally minutes. What is your starting point if you don't mind telling me other than get rid of Trump? which I can certainly understand many people wanting that.

@BrianHolmes I said "like" or the 5 EYES countries, meaning US, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ. You are still a rich developed country.

@BrianHolmes I'll give you an example to ponder on. Look at the covi sars2 response in USA and Australia. Australia relied on the US and WHO primarily for information and advice on the beginning, on paper we did exactly the same thing until mid March. So why is it the per capita deaths are at this point in time in the US are 20 times that of Australia? We are both federations where the states run health. Think about that for a minute, not a single US governor had the courage to close a state border, in Australia 5 out of 8 major jurisdictions (4 states and a territory) closed their borders in quick succession. This is common sense, it's impossible to control a virus if you allow infected people to continually enter with no restrictions. The US completely failed at first detecting the virus and then at containment. Do you think your president would have behaved in the same manner if he was accountable to his colleagues? He is king , he chooses the membership of the unelected government (secretaries in the US and called ministers elsewhere) and can fire them at will meaning they will act in a less open manner than if power is more balanced. Donald Trump has in no uncertain terms pointed out the power of his position. The people of the US are just people, the failures are not because Americans are stupid but the system where in the president's case controls the entire government like a king is a little outdated. Change the constitution on not only this matter but others and the US can advance especially socially more quickly.
