She's a DA.  And there's a lot of bastards I want to see go to prison right now.

Reasons to vote for biden: if he dies in office we get a decent vp as pres.

I accepted ages ago that I'm not going to get a good candidate.

I am okay with electing "less shitty than Trump".  This is fucking AMERICA.  Everyone who isn't a complete dickbag gets shot.

And most of THEM were dickbags.

As a teacher, I'm not sure I can forgive her for the truancy law (if a kid misses too much school, they parents can end up in jail) and frankly a fair bit of her other shit, but Kopmala or not I have a slightly smaller list of reservations about a Biden administration. He's clearly losing his fucking marbles and she's sharp as a tack.

Okay. I hate him. Frankly I hope he dies shortly after he takes office bc Kopmala is at least all there, though I don't trust her further than I do him on a fair number of policy issues.

I think this is a good strategic choice. Biden has nothing to gain from the left and this will be a helluva thing to attack from the right given her record as I understand it.

Also... Seeing Trump beset by an investigative task force that she will almost certainly be heading up makes up for nothing, but would be fun to watch.

Mostly it's because the progressives went from "resting position" to "I'M NOT VOTING" in 2 hours.

Fuck the progressives, and fuck the rest of us for letting the Goddamn progressives in the party.

If they flake out, AND THEY WILL, motherfuckers are on their own.  I am utterly uninterested in what happens to them during the upcoming nightmare Trump second term. 

A fucking plague on them.

Like another kind of plague or just more of this horrible mutagenic corona-chimera covid dealy?

For my part I have been presuming a Trump "victory" phyrrhic or otherwise since Feburary, but it IS disappointing to see more or less the exact same shit play out twice. To me that's less about a Trump win and more about the viability of the nation in the first place. We are a spoiled idiot child guzzling antifreeze just because we had a taste once and it was sweet and we cannot differentiate causation from correlation on why we get so sick... Or something. It's late and I can't seem to sleep.

Good goddess giddyup! I feel it

I think maybe the people we're pissed at aren't exactly progressives though

progressives aren't wrong for wanting criminal justice reform, universal health care, etc--and don't deserve any flack for that. We need that.

99% of my progressive friends are voting Biden even if he shoots a woman on 5th avenue, using his penis


I'm pissed at the people who lose focus too easily -- the perfect purity party -- the people who would rather Trump get reelected than us put forward an imperfect challenger. Those people are not progressive.

It's crazy.  They asked that the platform move left.  The platform moved left.  Biden promised a woman of color as a VP. They demanded that he keep that promise.  He kept that promise.

"OH GOD WE CAN'T VOTE FOR THIS!"

Fuck 'em.  They're basically parasites, and now we're looking at another 4 years of Trump because, you know, we gave them what they asked for.

I will trot my ass out to vote against Trump, and when he wins anyway, because these fucking woobies couldn't sully themselves, people are on their own.  I plan to fade into the background and take care of myself.

And I don't want to hear any bullshit from accelerationists, because if they couldn't be arsed to vote, they won't revolt either.

The left is fucking pathetic.  Worse than useless.

When given a choice between two unpalatable alternatives, it is one's moral duty to address a hearty "FUCK YOU" to the entity which presented you with those alternatives. However, this does not preclude picking one of the alternatives.  It's possible to vote for Biden, and rip the Democratic party a fresh asshole.

But I'm preaching to the choir.

Part of me is hoping that sending a senile geriatric out to do battle with another senile geriatric is just crazy enough to work.

By the way, if Trump gets a second season, I'm holding all Americans responsible.  All of them.  I don't care who you voted for.  If you let this happen, you're going to take responsibility, dammit.
