I wouldn’t go so far as to say “endorse”, and I don’t have a vote, but in a Biden/Trump contest, yes, of course, Biden is the less bad option. Still dreadfully inadequate but the lesser of two weevils, as Jack Aubrey would say.

The Trump affair is a weird one isn't it? All reporting, if honest, shows him to be a thoroughly hideous individual and yet millions will still vote for him knowing that. I'm a bit worried about Americans who do vote for him. The future is a worry.

Eliot, given what you say about Trump, intellectual honesty should lead you to the logical next step of endorsing the only candidate capable of beating Trump, Joe Biden.
