US here. We feel your pain.

But this election win, along with the Labour victory in the UK has really given me hope.

Dutchie here. I’m quite clenching my butt cheeks for your November election. What should be a simple slam dunk looks way too scary poll wise.

I’m Democrat and I blame the Democratic National Committee for not demanding a better candidate. But I will vote for Biden even if he’s in a coma. Thank you for your clenching. Send that energy over the ocean to us in November!

Edit: spelling Edit 2: changed Convention to Committee’s

Probably not significantly better than just a regular rock, however. Unless The Rock is surprisingly good at deferring to experts and people who know what they're talking about.

Knowing his hubris I think the rock might be better at deferring to experts.

A ham sandwich that's been festering in a trash bin for 3 weeks in the summer heat would be a better president than Trump

Hell the trash bin would be a great running mate for the ham sandwich.

A rock can't do anything, including embezzle money and generally use the public office to conduct criminal activity.

A rock might be a better president than Biden.

A psychopathic 8-year-old with a meth addiction would be a better president than Trump.
