The election is a sorry excuse for politics, let alone democracy. There is no Left candidate. Biden is a human placeholder for the washed up hollow promises of neoliberal “normalcy”, and Trump is the cartoon version of a rich person with equally cartoonish ideas around governance (which isn’t to belittle the vast and very concrete destructiveness he has/is enacting).
There is very little room in “the election” and mainstream discourse to attend to the pressing issues bearing down on everyday life.
