I don't see any leader in Biden unless you are talking of the leading politician accepting Jewish lobby's bribes (over US$4'400.000 so far) and yes, "he professes to believe in the US Constitution and rule of law" just like any other politician, but he forgets that our laws prohibit to sell guns or give any help to terrorist's organizations like Israel. Would have been Humphrey better than Nixon? Has been Biden better than Trump? What I have observed is that our country has been in an increasing decline since the 1980 no matter which party has been in power because we all know we are under a corporate dictatorship. I got tired of this game and for a long time I have been voting only for third parties to protest the status quo.

I cannot say with any kind of certainty that Humphrey would have been better than Nixon, but my sense at the time based upon his support of civil rights was a large part of my reason to support him.

I do believe that Biden as you point out has many short-comings. But I do not believe another four years of his being president will usher in an authoritarian regime. I believe Trump's would.

Do I wish there were other alternatives for president that I considered viable -- read "electable"? Yes.

I have no illusions about what my approach will produce. At best, it is stop-gap. I appreciate your disgust with the continuing decay or our politics.

Something really different has to happen to give us a real choice. I wish I had something unique to offer, but I don't.

Best.

For my part I chose not to participate in the decay, and from my selfish point of view, to avoid being repented and ashamed to have casted my vote as I was in the past on several occasions.

Best.
