One candidate was a normal functioning human being with policy positions other normal functioning humans can agree or disagree with. A better analogy would be a choice between blue cheese and poison.
As a moderate who voted for KH, the biggest problem with the DNC candidates in recent decades is that they do not, in fact, appear to be real human beings, but instead curated facades composed of politically desirable traits.
I can see your point in the presidential race. For down ballot candidates though, I'd say exactly the opposite. So many GOP politicians who sing praise of Trump publicly have been caught calling him a moron privately. Or in the case of his VP, calling him Hitler publicly. The scent of insincerity is just rampant through the GOP.

I agree, however, most people separate one from the other sparingly.
Totally agree. Thankfully, democracy ensured that Poison lost.
Tell me then, what are Trump's policy positions aside from keeping himself out of jail? Do you think he is actually going to impose across-the-board 20% tariffs? His big donors and the market don't because that would result in other countries imposing 20% tariffs on all US exports and trading with each other instead. That was just a story to tell his poor uneducated voters so they wouldn't think he would raise their taxes, reduce their benefits, or explode the deficit. There's no more build a wall rhetoric after he failed to do so in his first term and then blocked a border control bill. What he will support is cryptocurrency speculation, which he has personally profited from and his Silicon Valley donors hope to continue to profit from.

Calling the "blue cheese" a "normal functioning human being with policy positions other normal functioning humans can agree or disagree with" tells me that you've been eating rotten cheese all along.
are you saying the orange (70 something years old iirc?) was better?
take the politics back to reddit!
The "orange cheese" has a brain and can talk without the need of a teleprompter. And more importantly, it wasn't a warmonger that put the lives of Euro cheese in danger.
