If I believed Biden would meaningfully stop the Republicans in any way, I would probably hold my nose and vote for him, but he won't. The Democrats are the party that keeps reminding us that we "need a strong Republican party." At that point, you have to admit that they're all on the same team

Trump 2 will be very bad but Biden 2 is just gonna set up the country for someone even worse in 2028 since that will be 8 straight years liberals completely ignored politics while conservatives will get more and more mad. IMO those conditions will prime the pump for a deeply reactionary with a bigger and more politicized base to accomplish their agenda. I'm also not sure the planet can take 4 more years of most people not caring about politics while the democrats open up every piece of federal land to oil drilling while pretending to believe in climate change.

I'm not gonna fault someone for voting for Biden but I really wish people would focus on other forms of political organizing bc that's where material change is gonna come from.
