    The Biden Administration

    You’re right, not every problem has been solved. But the alternative is a fascist asshole.

    I am absolutely in favor of more progressive reforms. I voted for Bernie in the primaries. But I won’t split the vote and act as a spoiler. I won’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

    We cannot afford this. The next vote needs to very clearly show that anything is better, because it is. As others have said, voting is not about picking who you approve of, but who you’d rather negotiate with. Trump and those like him cannot be negotiated with.

      Sorry, I’m 45 and I have been promised WMDs and everything else. We keep voting as the “other side” will start wars, kill abortion, not fix immigration, and here we are. I’m done voting for maybe. Actually do something or I’m voting Cornell West. 30 years of Lucy pulling the football and I actually want some results. Stop saying if you don’t, and start actually doing something.

          I would say democracy would be for voting and being represented by those with similar values not two slightly different neocon options. Is wanting more diplomacy and less war first mentality anti-democratic now.
