There’s our two Nominees and it’s not even mid-march. 26 states still haven’t had primaries yet. This is also the first time in 68 years that we have two presidents running for the Oval Office.

Is WSB the home of election denial now?

  Don’t be in denial about the historical significance of this Election, WestSeattleBadTakes. Most of us have never seen (or will never see again) an incumbent President and a preceding President from the previous term in a re-match. Both are beyond elderly, hated by the opposing Parties, vetted more thoroughly than any other candidates, and both are up to their necks in controversy. Good stuff!

    Let’s be real and not lie about false equivalency. If Trump is up to his neck in controversy, then Biden might be up to his toenails.
