    He’s not too popular. He’s running unopposed. There’s a difference. No other remotely serious candidate has made a campaign against him, no one has offered a contrasting vision.

    He’s either neck and neck or losing among independent voters, depending on the poll you look at.

    I’ll be honest with you. I’m going to vote for Biden. I also think he’s going to lose this election because he’s a horrible candidate. If that happens, I’m going to put in for an international transfer within my company and then look for permanent visa status in a European golden visa program. It’s now just a matter of figuring out the finances. I live in one of the most wealthy and most liberal areas in the US, so I think we have a little more lead time than some others, but when the federal government falls - and they’ve literally written down and distributed their plans for doing exactly that - it’s not an island that’s going to last for long.

    I don’t know if it’s too late to replace Biden yet. It might be. But I as someone who deals with probability theory and human behavior for a living am feeling 2016, not 2020.

    The US - or enough of it to matter - is simply done with democracy. It’ll be studied for several centuries, if anything is.
