Responding to Molly -

Hi Max et al,
In terms of how things look from here, Biden as a candidate cuts a
distinctly unimpressive figure. Not only is he the ultimate compromise
candidate (a political 'weather vane' as Brian Holmes put it) but also

Thanks, Molly, for a relatively cheering summing up. However, I’m not quite
ready to cheer until the election results are in and more or less accepted.
US election laws still favor just two parties, and left ideas are just
beginning to take a very partial hold among Dems nationally.. It’s a

Hi hallo privyet.
Ok let’s go at it.
Premark: this is a central-eastern-european perspective.
I am not betting a single penny on Trump being hurt by his Coronastunt - I call

Hello, my two cents from Canada and with an eye on my old country Italy.
While I share some of Brian's and Molly's hopes about the fall of the

Now that DT has Covid-19, it is as if some kind of sense has descended upon
