How much lifting is "bothers" doing in this poll? I'm an old white male, and it bothers me that Biden is an even older white male.
Of course, it bothers me more that Donald Trump is the sitting President. Now which "bother" is going to affect my vote in November?
It even "bothers" me that this is what the electoral system produces for choices. Then again, I got to vote, but my choice dropped out by the time I'd cast my ballot in early voting. That "bothered" me, too.
Is every use of the word "bother" in the preceding the very same use?
The biggest bother of it to me is a. he dies before the election, b. he says something loopy before the election (guaranteed to happen, it happens to everyone but it only gets held against Democrats) c. he doesn't appoint an excellent, vote-getting VP who will be ready to take over if he kicks the bucket or has to resign. Other than that, anyone but any Republican.
