Wow he looks bad. Did he lose a bunch of weight? He looks frail. And a lot older.

I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying

I was about to say "Vance is such a weak personality he could never be elected" and then i remembered how useless the Dems are so who fucking knows.

He's guaranteed because the Republican-led states will make sure he gets their EC votes regardless of how the populace actually votes. There will be nothing to stop them any more.

I think the country is fucked as well, but I don't think the gop can deliver the cuop de grace to democracy in the US in a single presidential term.

Personally I think it's a matter of time before there is an uprising from the citizens, it won't matter who runs the government when capitalism finally catches up to the majority of the population, you can't believe in bootstraps when every person you know is living paycheck to paycheck.

Vance doesn't have any charisma, though.
