Agreed.
I don't care if its Biden, Harris, or anyone else you put up. But yall need to pick fucking somebody and stick with the pick.
I'm sticking with Biden and Harris in that order until someone gives me a better option. And after weeks following the last debate, no one has given me a seriously better option.
This choice is a problem. You have become a single issue voter. For, or against Trump. That's it. The whole system is awful but the fact they won't put anyone up who's better than Biden is disgusting
And no blame to Republicans who elected Trump?
Its fine. I'm Republican and am pissed at my own party (voted for Nikki). Its a two party system. If you don't like Trump the one to blame is the party who is putting Trump in power, sorry to say. Self flagellating over Biden is counter-productive.
If you don't demonstrate loyalty to your party, then you can't obtain political power. Its just a basic rule of politics.
Oh no, there's blame there. But you can't punish them for it. We can and should make it known to democratic leadership how impotent they've been and how badly they've been doing their jobs.
That's part of the democratic process. An important one too.
In any other situation, Id understand. Maybe not agree, but understand. But right now, and so long as Project 2025 remains a threat, the stakes are simply too high. Some of us have our lives riding on this. Im trans, Ill be dead or a homeless illegal in the event we lose.
The political system right now is simply good cop and bad cop.
Bad cop(republicans): i'll shoot you.
Good cop(Democrats): vote for me, I'm your only choice to stop him from shooting you (but it's in my best interests to let him threaten you forever, so you'll vote for me)
Both will forever suck. Both are fascists. We need better options
