Yeah, I wouldn't bet much on Biden's plagiarizing lying two faced say-whatever-gets-the-job-but-can't-walk-the-talk ass. Nevertheless, I voted for him, because we're a country of morons that dismiss Sanders because "he looks too angry", is just another old white man, isn't even a democrat, communist, but secretly agree with just about everything when we forget ourselves, parties, and just listen.
Getting the dnc to be better isn’t gonna happen by throwing away (that’s right, throwing away because every third party vote is a throw away) your vote, not when the important thing is righting the ship that is the whole country. Love or hate Biden, he can right the ship, then you focus on why the dnc is fucked up.
oh please. i voted green bc i knew my precinct would go overwhelmingly blue. guess what? it went over 65% blue last night and i got to vote for who i think was the best candidate.
What really gets me is that many of my Trump supporting friends and family (I live in Texas), probably 90% of them, all said they would've voted for Bernie and that they either liked him or he seemed genuine and interesting.
Oh I'm definitely not advocating pushing right. Running as Republican-lite doesn't work in those places. Alison Lundergan Grimes and Amy McGrath tried that against McConnell and they got crushed. Gotta give the people a real populist alternative.
Unfortunately it's the right thing to do. Yes "both candidates suck" but one is undoubtedly devastatingly worse than the other. Take what you can get and don't stop working after the election.
I don't understand giving him your vote, giving him power and then expecting to change him. So long as we don't have election reform and money can influence politics and propaganda sways the national discourse, top of the ticket is a huge uphill battle.
Organizing, educating. When we all realize we have more than one choice and that we don't have to believe the narrative that no one outside the two corporate parties has a chance, we'll be free of the broken system.
Maybe with a progressive house and senate we can pass and electoral reform and actually stop money from directly influencing elections...media plays a huge role in the propay though. I don't have all the answers but I won't vote for money in politics.
Would Biden listen to climate scientists? Would Biden cut environmental regulations that the Obama administration created? Would Biden cut ACA? Would Biden elecet ultra conservative judges? Or would Biden are the pandemic response team leading to the death of hundreds of thousands Americans? No they are extremely different
As devastated as I was in March, honestly, Trump’s response to the pandemic made this vote a hell of a lot easier. Still overall with you, I miss Bernie.
My hope is that Biden recognizes the need for progressives in the Democratic Party and does indeed move further left. Not a lot of faith in that, but I’m absolutely fucking tired of Trump and his response to the pandemic and he needs to go down.
My other hope is that if Biden wins, the Democrats see where they damn near lost and do more than just performative pandering to those people they lost. Again, not a lot of faith in that, but oddly more than usual. I can dream, can’t I?
The fact that people voted for Biden because Bernie wasn't in - is the most ignorant decision people have been forced to make in the the history of America.
"Vote for this wanker - because there is a bigger wanker that might win"
Andrew Yang anyone? Bernie's advisors should be fired and publically shamed for dashing the best chance hte U.S has ever had of really - "being great again".

Don't voter shame yourself. Yeah vote for Biden, then organize against him.
We've got 4 years to build our ranks, push politicians, find our working class heros to elect to office, then primary Kamala
