this shit gets me angry. both parties suck, biden sucks, yeah yeah yeah. he isn't in support of actively ripping rights away from millions of people, and he isn't on board with genociding trans people. i swear, you have either be super out of touch with the people actively under threat by republicans or putting your principles over the lives of actual people to even begin equating the two parties. work on utopian political projects every other day of the year, build movements to affect broader social change, but i swear if you end up not voting blue during one of the most precarious moments of this shithole's democracy what comes next is worse for all of us.
and to be clear, biden sucks and i hate him. but genuinely i don't want to get genocided, and the blue guy is a lot less likely to try that shit on me or the people i love.
People like them is why Trump won.
No, Hillary is why Trump won.
Just on my tiny street in America, three families lost their homes to Obama's foreclosure crisis. Multiply that by every street in this country and you have a lot of people who won't see the appeal of Hillary being a continuation of Obama's policies.
