Hey, Biden-people:
Don& #39;t condescendingly demand that anyone upset about him being the nominee now pretend like Biden is perfect.
I think it& #39;s vital that we vote to remove the current guy. I& #39;m half-Hispanic, and I am well aware of the campaign of ethnic cleansing he& #39;s on.

Biden was nowhere near my first choice, but the idea of anyone not voting, or voting third party, horrifies me and leaves me feeling incredibly alone in all of this.
I know many people have utterly BS reasons for hating Biden, and are just speaking from privilege.

But there are also a lot of good people with valid complaints about him, and there are lot for whom voting for yet another alleged sexual abuser - and someone we& #39;ve all seen, on-film, violate the bodily autonomy of women and girls - is a deeply painful experience.
So respect that. We don& #39;t get to talk down to those people. We get to listen.
Understand their perspectives, and learn to see the real-world damage that is caused when we, as a society, excuse those behaviours in men.

Next time, make sure the guy who doesn& #39;t understand any of that, doesn& #39;t get the nod to run for President of the United States. We deserve better.
That& #39;s how you prevent people from having a hard time voting against a fascist. Not by berating their real and entirely valid pain.

Do better. Listen. Understand. Start to *fight* that problem, and not imagine it& #39;s a political attack.
If you want them to be your ally: Be theirs.
