    True I suppose… I’d much rather be door knocking and voting for someone in the squad. But what candidate / party wants to repeal voting rights, which candidate is middle-out versus golden shower trickle down, what VP forced Obama to support LGBTQ in the military, which candidate is for reproductive freedom, which one is for student loan forgiveness, which one got infrastructure done and the CHIPS act pushed through, and which one not only accepts global warming and vaccine science but got the strongest climate protection on the planet passed. It’s not the lesser of two evils, it’s a half-progresive / half-neoliberal with many questionable policies… against a narcissistic christo-nationalist fascist alleged billionaire who tried to undermine the Constitution and who would simply love it if the youth, the minorities, the socialists would sit this election out.

      I can understand voting as damage reduction but actually canvassing? For someone who isn’t damage reduction and so doesn’t deserve a vote under that catchphrase, either?

      How have student loan forgiveness and reproductive freedom gone under the blue team?

      Minorities? What about Muslims and/or Palestinians.

      The constitution? Is that what they’re building in Cop City?

      Watching the US decline is going to be entertaining. All Biden had to do was be less horrific than Trump. Apparently neither he nor his advisors could figure out how to make that work.
