So, my candidate is officially out. I'm both sad and angry. But yes, I am still "Blue no matter who." I know many of my friends on here are not and will likely judge me for it. That's ok.

Yes, I understand that Biden is a centrist and that, because of that, his policies can be pretty abhorrent and near to the right.

I also believe that there is a pretty clear difference between this and 4 more years of Trump.

I know that none of us wants to vote for the lesser of two evils. And frankly, my life won't be as affected as others by any candidate. I am white, male, able bodied, and a home owner. I am queer, but that is easier to hide, if need be.

So, I will vote blue for people who are not me. Those that will be and have been unjustly targeted. Trump's rhetoric has both exposed and given more credence to the violent racism, misogyny, ableism, and homophobia in this country.

I am pretty god damn left. Left of Bernie's policies, actually. But I also deeply care for people. Any small thing I can do to protect those who will go through more hell in 8 years than I can ever imagine, I will do.

Your vote is your own. Mine is still blue.

oh one other note. You think Trump and co. have been bad so far? Wait until he doesn't have to worry about another election.
