In case “armchair quarterbacking” is a phrase that isn’t universally understood outside of America, it means Australians are making judgments about a pandemic they’re not themselves involved in.

the visibility of moron Trump on TV coupled with COVID increasing in hick states gives non-US countries the cyclical opportunity to feel like they are 'better than the U.S.' again because they have to live in the U.S.'s shadow

would like to remind that Barack Obama was only 3.5 years ago and regardless of whatever trash is available for consumption on the internet there will be inspirational U.S. presidents again and the entirety of the U.S. has not devolved into the widespread abyss of chaos that the selection-bias-ridden media companies distribute on a daily basis to click-addicted non-US news consumers

now let's all just go back to rounding up aborigines in cages and sucking mining company dick and call it even

this is what I say too. -- really? This is all we can come up with?

Could you summarize for me the platform of a candidate who would, without solid advertising or a sufficiently scary alternative, rise above this feeling?

The worst thing that could happen would be for you to plan more rallies, and have them turn out like this one.

They’ve been saying “wait until we get the rallies going” for months. Now they must be scared to schedule more.
New Hampshire demonstrated the precariousness of this situation in real time this week.

When your hold over the party is based mostly on the party’s fear of your control of the base, this is very, very bad for you.
