Editors:

I am having a problem listening to what is called a debate. Trump is lying his ass off and while I support Biden I believe that at this turn in the world neither one of these individuals is up to the job. That Trump with his vulgarities and convictions is able to ask the American people for their trust and confidence shows just how pathetic our democracy has become. Watching television and listening to their positions isn't going to save the country. I'm just not sure at this point if anything can. I am hoping that we can count on younger generations to fix the situations that have brought us to the brink.

Oh, dear. While President Biden’s performance did not change my mind about who is a better person or a better president, nor even about who would be a better president starting next January, it did make me very pessimistic about who will be the next president if these two men are the nominees. Mr. President, I will still vote for you, make phone calls, put up signs. But I will be doing it through an internal mist of despair. Please, sir. Cap your life service to our country by withdrawing from the race.
