Most things escape Boiler, which is why his posts make no sense

I actually used to think there must be more to it than that - but ...

The article quotes a business owner, a progressive woman of color. She didn’t vote in 2016, and won’t vote in 2020, because she doesn’t like the choices.

What - she’s not going to vote for her house representative, senator maybe, state and local races, just because she’s not interested in the presidential choices?

Sadly, the 'down ticket' effect seems alive and well.

This election is going to come down to 'just how much do you despise Trump?'. I happen to despise him so much that I'll vote but I can't say I'm excited about Biden!

Why do you think it is good?

Because what she's saying is true. It's all water under the bridge, there's no point in discussing it now, but she's explaining how, instead of what could and should have been, many people, like her, are having to hold their noses and vote for Biden.

While thankfully, having a more moderate candidate like Biden will hopefully pull millions of votes away from Trump. Sounds like a win-win to me.

That is a major drawback of a two party system. I would like to use a comparison with swimming. Voting for Biden is like treading water, while voting for Trump (or not voting at all) is like voting for keeping a boot on your head. Nobody can tread water forever and will eventually drown unless rescued, however if you don't get that boot off your head pretty sharpish you can guarantee drowning sooner rather than later.

I will enthusiastically vote for Biden/Harris because they are not Trump/Pence, This the most pressing election in my memory, because it is to get Trump out of there.
He is already laying the ground work for not accepting the results, which is troubling.

We wont go under with Biden, but will definitely need resuscitating after another four years of Trump.

One woman's opinion a good article?
Not anymore valid then anyone's opinion posting here. Probable only reinforces what you believe yourself.

I see the Republican Convention is turning into Boiler's wet dream:

I wonder if they'll have the Grand Dragon that walked the streets at Charlottesville there too?

If this does not get the voters off their chairs what will?A 25-year-old man was identified Tuesday as a suspect in the vicious beating of a pickup truck driver in Portland over the weekend.

Police allege Marquise Love assaulted the victim — identified by family as Adam Haner — following a crash on Sunday night.

Disturbing footage showed a group of Black Lives Matter protesters appearing to force Haner to crash before pulling him out of his vehicle.

A police spokesman said Love was identified by multiple sources, including the video.

Haner has been released from the hospital and is recovering, cops said.

One witness told Fox News Haner had been defending a transgender woman from being mugged when the mob turned on him.

I see a single person assault him, and he has already been identified.

Criminals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Oh and how does someone protect someone from a mugger from inside their car? If he got out, he wasn't pulled out, right?

Just like you Trump idiots like to say, there are 'really fine people' on both sides.
