The last election where I thought that the people had a choice between two competent leaders with different visions was 1980’s Carter vs Reagan (Both had proven themselves as governors, were men of personal integrity and differed on their vision of what needed to be done to fix what was wrong). Since then, we have largely had elections of “hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil” that leaves one wondering if these are really the two best candidates in a country of over 300 million people.Maybe, but free elections may be a thing of the past by then.
I think it almost unimaginable that Joe Biden would seek another 4 years. I doubt his health would support it and leading an organization as diverse as the Democratic Party must be like “herding cats across a river” … something that no one would want to do twice.Hopefully.

Oh yes. That's true, but it is nowhere near as significant as what's happened recently. As other commentators have noted, now we have rigged elections, candidates ruled off the ballot as a way of defeating that other party, efforts to rescind the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, do away with the Electoral College, pack the Supreme Court, and simply flood the mails with absentee ballots whether or not anyone requested one or needed one or the addressee even lives at that address. We have never seen these developments before in our history.The last election where I thought that the people had a choice between two competent leaders with different visions was 1980’s Carter vs Reagan (Both had proven themselves as governors, were men of personal integrity and differed on their vision of what needed to be done to fix what was wrong).

No, I think there is good reason not to throw in the towel by saying that "they're all crooks, so what difference does it make." Freedom is always important and we once had it, even with some dubious characters holding public office.What real difference which “inmate” is running the asylum … the point is that THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM!

They.
Maybe, but free elections may be a thing of the past by then.
There have been a number of election irregularities documented and people convicted of election fraud since the 2020 election. Remember how, a year or so ago, the standard reply to the suggestion that there had been some election fraud in 2020 was almost always that there was "none, period. "Yep. I read the other day about a former congressman pleading guilty to ballot stuffing (not in the last election though?). So we know it happens even though the media says it doesn't.

I don't put my faith in a political party or man. But we should not be surprised that this is the case we are living in the end times and the devil is running out of time to cause chaos before the Lord returns.
The one thing there about which I am most certain is that Harris will not be the Dem nominee in 2024. Doing that would be to guarantee defeat.I think it almost unimaginable that Joe Biden would seek another 4 years. I doubt his health would support it and leading an organization as diverse as the Democratic Party must be like “herding cats across a river” … something that no one would want to do twice.
Let us just hope that the primaries can yield something better than Harris vs Trump … sadly, that is EXACTLY my prediction. Biden will not seek re-election for health reasons. VP Harris will be the logical Democratic candidate. Trump supporters will carry him through the primaries as the Republican candidate.

2012History question:
When was the last time the VP was not the candidate in the next election?

Carter - Mondale
Reagan - Bush
Bush - Quayle
Clinton - Gore
Bush - Cheney (did not seek election)
Obama - Biden
Biden - Harris
