Actually, guys, now IS the time - as they formulate and fine tune the policy points they're going to run on - to talk ALL the ish about the candidates. Let them know why you're mad! Their people are listening and the chatter is important. #BidenHarris2020
We're stuck between voting for the actual Devil incarnate & his automaton sidekick, & 2 centrist, establishment minded underwhelming Democrats - and so HAVE to vote with the team NOT led by the evil baby..
- we should ABSOLUTELY be hammering home the issues we have with our candidates and the expectations we have for them in exchange for our vote.

Because, despite what the shut up and vote crowd will have you believe, IT IS STILL AN EXCHANGE.
Despite the popular talking point, it's MUCH harder to hold a politician accountable AFTER they're elected than it is to get them to commit to policy changes BEFORE they're elected. GET IN THEIR FACE NOW!
So moving past the "anyone but Trump" that placed the highest job app in the land in Biden's lap for no reason at all, and got us cheerleading Kamala today when, in the ghost of primaries past, we were enthusiastically cheerleading her exit from the race, WHAT ARE OUR DEMANDS?
Cause these two are gonna require A LOT of oversight to turn this entire sinking ship around, not just steer it back toward the middle. We don't have to be in love with them. They're our employees, not our homies.
And don't be under this post debating the candidates or you'll get deleted. The question is WHAT DO WE WANT IN RETURN FOR OUR VOTE? The "they're not even the best candidates" ship has sailed, my friend.
Let's let Joe and Kamala know that if our vote is expected, our demands are as well.
