okay, so, I'm gonna try and be less political the rest of the year because I know shit is real and we need a break
but please vote for Biden even if you don't like him :/ I KNOW it sucks having to choose the lesser of two evils but Orange will utterly destroy the country.

we're all fucked, yes. I agree. but Biden is the ONLY chance we've got to get the cheeto out. The status quo sucks, and I know Biden's centrism is no comfort to most of us.
But the status quo is still better than whatever the fuck Orange is going to do if it gets 4 more years.

I don't want Biden either, but I'd rather have him than more Orange shit. Be upset that Bernie dropped. Please do. But don't be a sore loser come November. Now we need to focus on kicking the maggot out of the WH. That's the best we can do with the executive branch.
A lot of us are scared of not surviving a Biden term, but MORE of us will not survive if Orange gets 4 more years. PLEASE don't sabotage us because you're upset about Bernie. Please, I'm seriously begging, because many of us won't last 4 more orange years.
More of us can get by if the orange beast is out.
And please remember, the exec branch is important but it's not the only part. Vote local, vote state, vote Congress. Vote blue all the way. Put progressives in power at all levels. THAT is how we shift priorities.

It's important to be concerned about the prez, but it's just as important to push for smaller branches to become more progressive. I think the current crisis is showing just how much power state and local govs can exercise when needed.
Vote blue for House and Senate. These bodies make laws and push them forward, and if they're blue enough, then they can even override executive veto. Even with a gross centrist in the WH, there's still a lot that can be done to protect & support us.
Arguably it will probably be easier to get more progressive bills through the WH with Biden. If Orange is there, it's only happening with veto overrides, and that won't happen unless both bodies are blue.
Anyway, I know a lot of ppl are upset about Bernie and that's understandable. I am too. I wanted him or Warren badly. But in Nov, please don't be a sore loser, don't be stubborn, don't cut off the nose to spite the face. Biden's our only real shot and we need you for that.
Also I'm gonna pre-emptively mute this thread now because yesterday sucked for me in lots of ways and I don't want today to suck too because trolls ended up finding this thread and engaging.
