Is This the Best We Can Do

in a country of 335 million people one of the richest more educated places on the entire planet the largest economy, the best military still for now a democratic country is this the best we can do choose between three old white men as our next leader and the leader of the world ? a clearly delusional NYC ex reality TV star president still talking about draining the swamp and fighting the evil deep state destroying the government in the process as he and his cronies loot the country a gadfly Senator ex Brooklyn Jew from small town Vermont formenting radial revolution yet failing to excite anyone but the young and those falling behind and a professional politician who has been around for decades calling to restore the old failed status quo saying that he can restore competence to the government hoping that the third time is the famous charm dear God if you exist is this the best we can do? nothing but silence as God does not answer my plea
