Greetings members of Debatepolitics.com,
My name is Kyle. I am a resident of the U.K. and take an interest in U.S. politics. I am currently a member of reddit and have been participating on ModelUSGov as a simulation of the U.S. government since last year.
I'm going to turn 31 later this year but I've been on the far left of the political spectrum since I was about age 14. I have therefore chosen "communist" as my political leanings, although it doesn't capture the nuances, eccentricities and doubts that have developed over such a long period of time, particularly as I have read more widely and engaged with more people with a greater range of political views.
As far as the 2020 U.S. election goes, I'm more concerned about whether a peaceful transition of power is possible and if the election result will be treated as legitimate than who actually wins. I prefer Biden over Trump, but if Republicans pulled a "Bush vs. Gore" and handed the election result to the Supreme Court, Biden doesn't strike me as the kind of man willing to use the U.S. military to actually depose the Trump administration by force. Regardless as to whether it is Biden or Trump, it seems very likely that instability we've experienced in the past few years is going to be the "new normal" for some time to come.
I'm not looking forward to a second term of Trump if only because of what it means for environmental issues, such as climate change, and it's impact on America and the world at large. However, I hope that some of the people here can give me reason for optimism and restore some of my faith in humanity even during these dark and troubled times. There is a great deal going on and even more to process honestly so I hope being here can help me with that.
Needless to say, I hope you are well keeping yourselves safe during the Coronavirus and I look forward to getting to know you all better as time goes on.
Best Wishes,
Kyle.
