Five months from a crucial presidential election, the usual political debates, campaign events and policy fights have faded into the background for voters battered by a public health crisis, struggling through an economic recession and boiling over with fury over racial inequities.

With tens of millions unemployed, more than 110,000 killed by the coronavirus and thousands of people protesting in the streets, Americans see their personal concerns and political choices through a strikingly existential lens — mourning the past, worried about the present and fearful of the future.

And we have an impeached President leading the nation.

It doesn't look bright now but I think we can turn the country around.

We've got a lot of good people in the USA. More than the bad. It's just that the bad ones are so bad.

The good outnumber the bad. There is no more mystery about DT. We all know him quite well now that he has forced his way into our daily lives for 4 years.

Nobody is under any illusion as to what you get with DT. It's just a matter of if they think that is right for America.

One thing his presidency has done.

It has given us a good idea of just how bad racism is, and how many racists we have in the country.

We've got a lot of work to do but we are America. We can rise to the challenge.

We are going to rise above this low point in our history.

What a pessimistic view. This country has endured much worse and has always come back better.
