PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

It's not just having elections. It's having enough breathing room to enact fundamental change at all. We need to unionize every workplace, and start insisting that politicians of any party work for us. The path forward will be hard enough under Biden, but basically impossible under Trump. Voting is not sufficient by itself.

Something INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that no one talks about is how when real pressure is laid on the table, Biden almost always bends. Having him stay in office, while not the best possible scenario, is also not the worst IF we all continue to pressure him. Granted, it would have to be done in different and more nuanced ways as he is then again the sitting President. However, I feel with the right people at the forefront and the correct pressure, we can enact change through him more significant than anything he has done these last four years.

And make no mistake my dear dissidents, he HAS done a lot of good.

Lobbying is the cancer eating at the system.

If biden wins you get none of those things and another „last chance” election in 4 years. Nobody wants to fix anything anymore. There are only people who want to destroy what remains for even more power.

I'd much rather have "another last chance election" in four years than a sham election in four years.

Every election is going to be a "last chance" election until there's another GOP win. Then either they were right, the Dems will learn and pivot to another tactic or they'll lose several more times because losing the last chance and still having another "last chance" right on schedule makes you look especially dishonest.
