True. Changing that would benefit an average citizen, but the people in power would lose their money/influence...

An Ineffectual Biden Presidency Is Better For The Left Than An Actively Authoritarian Trump Presidency ❧ Current Affairs

 

My man is psychotic

 

Imagine your sibling, and supposed best friend, dying and all you can say about them is how much they loved you.

 

The bolded is pretty much why as of now, I’m not voting for them in the future. They can’t be trusted at all to do the right thing until they absolutely have to, and even when they do, it is half-assed. When they move to the left, it is like, a centimeter lol

edit: I agree on the lesser of two evils, but the fact that their entire gameplan is “we are the least bad”, gives me pause when it comes to future elections. Especially if we can get a liberal SC appointee or two.

 

i dont think any real leftist progress will come from a biden administration, to be sure, but with trump's overt fascist response to the ongoing protests i dont see any other option come november.

 

eh, i dont have to be his biggest ally, i can just shut my mouth and not vocalize all the reasons i think he's fucking garbage. that's enough.

 

As a PA resident with no intention of moving any time soon, I’ve just kinda accepted at this point that I’ll be stuck, registered as a democrat, voting for a decent candidate in the primaries & a blue piece of trash (against the latest model of GOP evil) in the general... for a very long time.

 

Let's go #TeamPA - this is our reality! I, for one, am stoked.

 

Wow, my sister goes back to teaching on Thursday, still has no idea if they're meeting in person or virtual, and has heard from multiple people that the school thinks they'll shut back down in October. Like .. why the hell are they bothering?

 

Anyone have it in them to watch the Biden and Cardi B interview? Will it make my brain melt?

Always good to be reminded that this global health crisis is just a trial run ahead of the global climate crisis.

And as for Biden vs Trump, I guess its better to vote for the guy who at least ostensibly gives a shit rather than the overt, anti-science fascist.

 

I believe it. I can't remember the last time we've had such a long summer of 90+ degree temps and humidity in the northeast. The last two days were surprisingly cool for the first time in what feels like months haha

 

Why is there a republican at a DNC event anyways? Why John Kasich?

 

What the fuck haha

 

The entire Biden campaign is focused on stealing the Mitt Romney's of the world. They desperately want to get my Dad who's a registered Republican, but has felt abandoned by the party for the last 20 years. I actually asked him last week why he didn't just register independent and he said so he can vote in the primaries and state elections and keep the wingbats at bay

 

Congress Sends Unemployed Americans 40 Million Boxes Of Saltwater Taffy From Vacation

 

This is great from an objective standpoint but I worry that attacking the Kennedys this directly will hurt him in MA rather than help.
