I'm not American, and it seems like both parties are shit choices. Repubs because of Trump's absolute incompetency and narrcissism, and the Dems because of identity politics, which the trans stuff falls under.

But... America has had over 100,000 deaths due to covid! That is insane. Especially for a country you'd think would be a leader in the developed world. I mean there is an endless list of things wrong with Trump (the way he allies himself with America's enemies for another), but the covid deaths just take the cake. He won't even wear a mask in a hospital.

the US COVID deaths per pop are middle of the road compared to European countries, it's just a big country. Maybe because you are not American, you don't realize they have like 10x the population of larger European countries or Canada, etc.

They also counted literally every death of someone with a positive COVID test, even if they died of being shot with a gun, as a COVID-19 death, so there's that.
