Honestly the whole "do you vote for Biden or don't you" discourse is garbage, none of us make up the majority of the electorate and our opinions don't matter that much, at this point it's just flexing your ethical integrity.

Thankfully, I don't even have to pretend I matter in the whole "do I vote for someone who'd handle coronavirus SLIGHTLY better but will continue to push austerity measures" question because I live in a blue state so I don't have to think about it.

Do I hope Biden wins? I guess. But literally the only reason is fewer people would hopefully die from coronavirus. I don't expect him to meaningfully upend what Trump did or push for vital legislation we need now. If Obama couldn't do it he sure as hell won't.

In the meantime, trying to understand the catch 22 of needing to organize outside electoralism where on the one hand the left wing is more present and normalized than it's ever been but it's also still so splintered and disorganized than I'm not sure how much faith I have.

In hindsight, I understand why I was a shitlib for so long, because it's just so much easier to believe incremental change works because the moment you realize everything is a fucked murder machine you also have to really work at seeing roads to better possibilities.

Anyway if you're reading this thread, my only question is why?
