Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Don't you know? It's all the White Supremacist Internet Gamers' fault. Nothing to do with Biden!

A lot of it involved strange animation, actually. Even for someone who isn't an animation buff, the extent that some of the animators went to during the reign of the Soviets to keep their cartoons flying off the presses is genuinely impressive. Stuff like Nu Pogodi (Basically the Russian equivalent to Bugs Bunny) even carried on all the way up until just last year and is still wildly popular in Eastern Europe, but because the Soviets didn't really have any criteria for their animation teams other than "just keep producing animation to prove our country can be just as good as America" it let the animation teams crank out some really wild, creative shit, because they never really had to worry about funding.
As long as they were producing any form of creative animation for the sake of propaganda, that's all the Soviets cared about, and we got wild shit as a result of it. There weren't really the same standards or motives to Russian animation the same way that the West adhered to, because the end goal wasn't really profit, so you never knew what the Hell you were going to get. You might get weird stop-motion shit like Hedgehog in the Fog, you might get whatever the fuck FRU-89 was supposed to be, you might get the acid-trip that was Interplanetary Revolution, or Russia's own attempt to retell Treasure Island, which inexplicably starts with 5 minutes of live-action Russians shooting cartoon bullets at each other, shirtless, shot in Earnest P. Worrell-style close-ups.
It definitely wasn't as lame as this, but goddamn if it didn't get incredibly confusing from time-to-time. Unshackling the animation industry from profit meant that you never had any fucking idea what was going to come out of the studios. One of my favorite ones was some kind of drug-fueled stop-motion animation routine but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, and so much weird crap came out of that era of animation that unless you speak the language, good luck even finding it by accident.

You actually still see a good amount of that in hobbyist/passion project circles in the West. It was very obvious when it came to furries in the late 80s/early 90s, for example. Since they weren't really thinking about any kind of profit, and most projects were one-man (one-dog?) operations that were then sent out to zines and published, there was some tremendously weird shit going on there. Most of it got buried since (I imagine some of it by the authors themselves since a lot of that shit would count as "old shame"), but there's still a good amount of it accessible with a Google search.
The Soviet shit certainly had much higher budgets (and they were group efforts), but yeah: artists go fucking weird when they don't have to make money off their work.

Oh yeah, look at this. This is exactly what I needed... so sleepy. I'm just going to lay down here. No worries anymore. Only sleep.

The Soviet animations are weird, but they were generally considered to be a fringe art form. The Soviets made a lot of good cinema, but a lot of it was crap, and they also imported a decent amount of Bollywood films. In any case, if you're interested in Soviet animation, they also made their own version of Winnie the Pooh, which I personally still love, and Laughter and Grief by the White Sea is pretty interesting.

Holy shit, they elected Spoony.
YMMV, but it depends on what you mean by 'sensitive.' My husband cried when his grandmother died, and I never thought poorly of him for it.

And with this the media will celebrate Biden as the greatest thing to ever happen to animals while suburban moms will grit their teeth and begrudgingly admit that yes, "Donald Trump DID make animal abuse a felony but fuck him because he's awful."

Have people called Joe Biden "The Last of Us Part II of Presidents" yet, like how some people called The Last of Us Part II the "Joe Biden of video games"?

Given the experiences detailed not long ago regarding the failure of some women to not be completely lost in comforting their SO, what one means by "sensitive" is surprisingly irrelevant. The bottom line, in your case, is that you didn't ask your husband for that (really, who does, it's part and parcel of an intimate relationship), and at best you're in a minority of women who could actually handle such occasions positively.
...and I can't even blame the sexual revolution for this one-- at the risk of mythologizing, I suspect this has never been taught to women because in the crystallization of the traditional roles, it was expected that the man not expose his vulnerabilities to his wife and children since it was necessary for him to be a solid wall of protection for them; it just got worse afterwards because women lost touch with what they actually wanted (the aforementioned) but there was no compensation for the consequences of asking men to emasculate themselves because it wasn't what they actually wanted.
What the fuck is this?
Never mind that both these people have voted in favor of pro-abortion legislature, one of them was raised in a household where one parent was a monotheist and the other was a polytheist, and there's nonzero chance they both worship Moloch-- they stuck the ostensibly Roman Catholic Biden's head on an Eastern Orthodox icon of a bishop. And then they shopped his head onto Jesus' body for the last one. Either someone's taking the piss or this country's sicker than I thought.
There are people who really thought that Trump was a messianic figure during his term, but that's at least at the fringes of reason. But it might hold true that the average conservative is just a liberal going the speed limit-- in 2008, there were Democrats were painting Obama as a messianic figure, and now in 2021, they're this close to divinizing Joe Biden-- oh wait, no they're already starting.
