Performance Issues

At the Lancaster, PA rally, Trump got on the subject of being interviewed for his mental fitness, and stated “I have no cognitive. She may have a cognitive problem, but there’s no cognitive problem… Got no cognitive.” 

I have been impressed with Harris’s campaign, and I marvel at her ability to remain so energetic and composed throughout it all. The fact that the contest is so close given Trump’s history of embracing violent extremism, his affection for Putin, and his obvious unfitness for office is not only unfair, but a damning indictment of our entire political system. This isn’t a “polarization” crisis, but an epistemological crisis. I just hope there’s enough reality left to save us.
