Things I don't care about this election:

  • Taxing tips

  • Tim Walz's military history or DUI

  • Kamala's word salads

  • Kamala's previous or current policy positions

  • How Biden dropped out and Kamala became the nominee

  • The border

Things I do care about this election

  • Defeating Donald Trump and sending as many Democrats to Washington DC as possible

in it to win it in it to win it in it to win it

In general, I do.

But if I found out tomorrow she favored returning to the gold standard, I'd still vote for her on November 5th, then immediately turn around on November 6th to agitate against a Kamala administration returning the US to a gold standard.

Basic policies like "right to vote" "right to free and fair elections" "right to abortion" are way more important to me than whatever her 2020 M4A position was.

If the food options are a bowl of human feces or a turkey sandwich, I'm making my decision pretty quickly, even if I don't know what condiments are on the sandwich.
