  • The government is not one person. Are there members of congress, state and local government with whom you align? Do you think they will be more able to have a positive impact under Trump or under Biden? I’m all for criticizing Biden and the Democratic party. I recognize the cynicism of the “lesser evils” cycle we are stuck with when it comes to presidential candidates. I recognize the unfairness of the “if you don’t eat the Dems bullshit and vote blue you will be complicit in creating a fascist state where women don’t have bodily autonomy.” It feels like we are being forced into accepting the Democratic party based on a threat. I won’t be threatened. But I will also not make things worse for people out of personal frustration and discomfort. So Biden is another neo-centrist. We know this. And I’ll vote for him again because the politics I actually support will have a better chance of doing some good than if I don’t vote for him. You can say I’m giving in to the Dems threats but I don’t give a shit. Our country has failed to deliver good candidates but I’m not gonna take my ball and go home.


  • Thats well said. In a climate where we not only get our information dramatized we also get our reactions performed to us from media outlets as well. And it did feel good to think about the downfall. But that is because of my opinion of Linus. I learned that I just don’t like his personality. That is separate from the accusations against his company and even after the dust settles and no wrongdoing was found, I still think the guy is a dick. And that is ok, but worth recognizing and separating fact from my own opinion.
