    Everyone shut the fuck up and vote Biden. We’ll figure everything else out later.

    The alternative is we do not get a later. Ever again.

      Apparently it’s never the time to actually improve things because there are elections every two years and anyone disrupting party unity (which insists on keeping the status quo) at any time is supposedly a risk.

        Just like school or mass shootings. Can’t do anything about it cause too fresh, then can’t do anything because another just happened so need to mourn for it and continue to not do anything

        So long as we’re stuck with a two party system, and money is wholly controlling the political process, your statement is true. Attempt to disrupt all you like, but vote like the person elected could ruin your life.

        At some point we have to amend the Constitution to remove money from the political process, then disruption happens easily. Until then, unless ranked choice voting has been implemented in your local elections, voting for somebody with zero likelihood of winning is logically voting for the eventual winner.

        I hope we someday have the reality of seeing more than two parties compete on a national level, but it’s not happening in 2024. The youth needs to be much more organized and have much higher voter turnout before that’s a possibility.
