I certainly wouldn't be trying to convince other people not to vote Democrat. man it's a good thing I have never done that, I haven't even convinced myself of that yet! I also like how you remember the two times I have expressed displeasure with the Dems, and not the active anti-trans stuff being advanced by the Republicans, which I talk about a lot more but get responded to a lot less. Sarcasm (and, to the extent possible, anger) aside, my stance has been and continues to be that both third party and Biden are pretty crummy choices. I can't super fault anybody for choosing one or the other, but you'd better vote, and it'd better not be R. I don't know why that's not coming across, I've said both times that I might myself wind up voting Biden. We have covered that the Republicans are pretty pure evil. For about 9 years now. The horse is ~~chunky salsa.~~ I'm extremely frustrated that the best they're willing to give us as an alternative is a guy with softer versions of the same policies and more professional demeanor. I'm doubly frustrated that I can't express that frustration without being called a GOP psyop. Four years ago I shared your optimism, and your faith in the Dems, and your willingness to settle. I have, since then, seen a Biden administration. I've seen all the stuff he ran against happen anyway, without much effort to change it. It's better than the alternative. It's not nearly good enough. You're talking about "perfect as the enemy of good" but from where I'm standing, I'm begging this country to give me "halfway decent" and not seeing any signs of getting it. I'm trying to figure out how to flee the country and you're telling me to vote harder. I'm watching states get ticked off the list of "can I travel through here without getting shot or charged with sex crimes" and you're telling me (factually) "well it could be worse!" I'm watching my country gleefully chip in on ethnic cleansing and I'm told I'm not having a good enough attitude about it. anyway I'll try to be a bit more pleasant in the future about the utter despair I feel about this country and the terror I feel about the next ten years, gotta send them positive thoughts and prayers to the NICE ethnic cleansing guy! he's gonna actually do something about fascism any day now --- New name, new gender, same great Bolo flavor!
