An election supposed to be quite exciting was made incredibly boring after Republicans nominated a business bereft of any ideological distinction from the incumbent.

FDR, since he's more isolationist, or at least has the neo-con silliness down a notch

Regrettable that Borah isn't trying again.

FDR literally ran on a 'We're going to War' platform

He was kinda two-faced about it and did throw the isolationists a bone here and there, Wilkie was unambiguously warmongering.

When it came to the 1940 campaign, Willkie was not unambiguous about anything.

A little less than genuine, to be sure, but hardly a campaign promise to enter World War II.

Why do you oppose fighting the Nazis?

WWII is an obvious exception, but a vote for either of them will be a vote for Cold War stupidity afterwards. And then there's the atomic bomb.
