    But I’ve been told Biden is old therefore we must allow a fascist dictatorship! What do?!

        I’ve got 91 felonies but my age ain’t one…

        Yeah, the choice is pretty clear and Biden, while definitely too old, seems to be more with it than Trump. Maybe eating buckets of KFC in your 70s isn’t the best idea.

      Here’s the thing tho: it’s been “vote blue to save democracy” but the DNC is just as fucked up just without the outwardly fascist leanings. No one wants to vote for Biden, they just want to vote against Trump. It’s lose/lose and the most marginalized of us are going to get savagely fucked or slightly less fucked depending who’s voted in.

      There’s no viable candidate who doesn’t want to give Isreal carte blanche to commit genocide with US backing, no one wants to address money in politics… the fucking economy is a mess for the rank and file, non owning class majority of us. If these very real issues are mentioned, suddenly it’s progressives’ fault the Trump with be president. Fuck all that. Explain why I’m supposed to be enthusiastic?

      I get voting for harm reduction and by virtue of the electoral college, my presidential vote won’t matter in my state (my state has been “safe democratic” for the last half century) but when I cast my vote I will be holding my nose

        Question for you: has any candidate for president, or even someone running in a party’s primary, ever been perfectly aligned with your beliefs on all things?
