A note I just sent to a friend in Sweden:

I was 100% ready to vote for Biden before his announcement today that he is stepping aside. His mental "deterioration" is a falsehood generated by the New York Times (whose publisher is angry that Biden hasn't knelt before him) and a fleet of Russian bots posting on social media. The media attack on Biden was obscuring the very real mental degeneration of Donald Trump, who repeats his imaginary stories over and over, talking about Hannibal Lecter and windmills and encounters with tearful men who call him "sir."

That said, it is all in the past now, and we have a highly capable candidate in Kamala Harris whose major drawbacks are race and gender. The next three months will be ugly. I may have to avoid commercial television entirely because of the misogynistic and racist attack political advertising.
