the meme that you should vote third party or stay home because the Democrat isn't liberal enough for them.

You understand Russia well enough, but if you think the left is upset at a Democrat for not being liberal enough, you really don't understand left politics. Liberalism is fundamentally a conservative ideology. It was liberals that made the Democrats into weak and ineffective corporate bureaucrats, thus setting the stage for the latest rise of fascism. (That's how fascism always takes root BTW.)

You are also buying into the establishment bullshit argument that the left doesn't show up for elections. Left leaning voters are the most reliable voting demographic in the country, in spite of the Democratic establishment blaming them for all their failures.

If just half the energy wasted lecturing the left were put to good use, we wouldn't have Trump in the first place.

Anybody that the Republicans put in charge of any federal agency is there for the purpose of destroying that agency. I used to think defense was an exception but, given Republican's new found love for Russia, I don't think that can be assumed any longer.

Trump's way ahead of you there.

Everything but Biden.

How about you go do that fuck off thing yourself. These movements need a failing political system in which to pedal their bullshit and the world's neoliberals have been more than happy to provide it for them.

An event that would only be watched by voters who already support Harris.

If humanity were proactive enough to do this, then we wouldn't need to do it at all.

The pandemic is over. Now it's endemic, significantly less lethal, and our own immune systems are better prepared. That doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously, but it's not the same situation we faced in 2020.

COVID now isn't what COVID was during the initial outbreak. Current mutations are significantly less lethal. Between the vaccines and the fact that almost everyone has had it at least once by now, we are far more prepared to handle it. It's still something that should be taken seriously, but it's also well into the endemic phase. This is the steady state where humanity will have to coexist with COVID indefinitely, not the pandemic where talking about "super spreader events" is reasonable.

He was arguably a worse president than even Trump. Which of them is a worse human being is a different question.

After End Game they stopped being Marvel movies and started being Disney movies.
