WaPo: “Many voters express resignation, dismay, anger over being asked to choose between Biden and Trump again”

TOO FUCKING BAD.

If you can’t see what an existential threat a Trump presidency would do to America and THE REST OF THE WORLD, I pity you. But I promise, your world will be a LOT different if you don’t vote for Biden and not different in any good, measurable way.

Get over yourself and see beyond your own narrow interests. Voting isn’t marriage. You’re not going to find The One.

I'll try

I support the Israelis who demand a ceasefire, a two state solution and want Netnayahu to resign.

I support the Palestinians who demand a ceasefire, a two state solution and want a real, representative gov.

When I was a kid we were told the end times would be like this big event with like an obvious beginning. It kinda just feels like the end of the world is slow and boring. It just gets continuously more bleak but in super boring ways. Like the planet is dying and you will slowly lose your rights but you still have to go to work for now

"What does it say about the US that Trump has minions behind him ready to put the infrastructure of authoritarianism in place, and legions of average citizens eager to see him break the traditions and handrails that once made America a model of democracy?

Republicans force women and girls to give birth to babies from rapists and deny women desperately wanted babies by making IVF effectively impossible.

That’s what’s happening.

It’s not too late to elect a whole lot more Democrats before this gets worse while many will be fighting this in the meantime.

@RealJournalism @Snowshadow growing the economy is not necessary. Equitable distribution of assets is.

The San Francisco 49ers could still win the Super Bowl if Mike Pence does the right thing.

'Voluntary immigration' is a nice piece of Orwellian double speak
when you're bombing every piece of land Palestinians call home to smithereens
when you've destroyed cultural, educational, and humanitarian sites
when there's nowhere left to flee but the desert
when the infrastructure meant to sustain human life has been deliberately destroyed
when the land has been made ruthlessly and violently inhospitable

when the end result of all that is to render a region ethnically or religiously homogenous.

We know what that^^^ is, right?
