Biden must have received some sign from the Lord. I am confident he would have made for a great 2nd term, but I would also feel bad for his final legacy to be that he handed the election to Trump despite his 1st term successes.

This is your moment, America. It's in your hands now to see it through in November, kick Trump out no matter who the Democratic nominee will be.

I'll be keeping an eye on those particular accounts on Lemmy that were constantly calling for resignation, whether anyone as presidential nominee will satisfy them.

ITT: even more division toward any semblance of unity. So instead... let's just slow-walk ourselves into the same bullshit (that we've been doing), because the circus and bread done got us too fucked up; seeing only 'left' or 'right'. Rather than how to help our brethren—we fight how to make our "best opinions" best

Don't agree with his endorsement for Kamala but thank god finally.

Now throw in some fresh candidates and provable promises, and I'm completely on board.

Goddammit.

I’m just going to say it. They can’t put Harris up. Not because she’s lacking in any political skills, she isn’t, but there are far too many swing voters that will sit on their hands or vote for trump if the Dems try to put up a woman who also happens to be African American as the nominee. There’s still too much prejudice and misogyny that wants an old white man over anyone else. She’s been far too quiet as VP to build any sort of following. The press will pull a Hillary on her, the clueless SJW in the Dems will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory because they’d rather have a woman run than win an election. I’ll vote for anyone they put up, but I sure as hell hope they can put someone up that the swing voters will show up for too.
