So, my thought here is that I really feel like this should be leading the effort to get Joe Biden returned to office in 2025. This shit really does scare me – how efficiently the GOP has planned to do this shit, and how abjectly bad the Democrats are at bringing this up. Maybe it’s because I’m not a political campaign runner and there’s something I’m missing, but man, it feels like this would be IMPORTANT to get in front of the voters? What are your guyses’ thoughts on this topic?

    Well, have you seen the rabid, anti-lgbt, evangelical, maga, trumpets… because they sure as shit are all going to vote…

    So, if you stay home you are losing your opportunity to cancel out one of their votes by using yours and voting Biden.

    I totally get he is not your first or even second choice… but he is the one you have.

    If you find the risk of another Trump term less than voting Biden will make you feel icky… I hope to God not many American left feel the same as you.

    The rest of the world also kinda depends on Trump losing the upcoming election.

      Then it’s not a choice, is it?

      I don’t. Unless Biden finds new and interesting ways to shit the bed… and prove he’s as bad as trump… (that’s gonna be hard to do…) I will be voting for Biden.

      But I will be doing so, in full knowledge that I’m voting for an asshat that things it’s okay to support Genocide. there will be hell to pay for that. and I have zero expectation that he’s going to do much more than delay the inevitable. if he’s even able to do that. one term or two, doesn’t change much. I hope I’m wrong. I don’t want to be right.

      that said, “trump bad” is not going to win voters. This is the exact same playbook as 2016, when Hillary lost. in fact Biden’s footing is even worse than Hillary’s.

        I get this is a disappointing event and I hope you get more opportunities to change the US for the better. Make sure you also keep your local politicians honest they are closer and Can more easily be held to account at elections…
