    isn’t it wild that two chemically necromanced relics are the only allowed presidential options?

      Hasn’t agism been a problem in the US regarding federal level politicians? My first problem regarding Kamela Harris as a great replacement (which she is) was that she might be “too young” for the electoral collages taste, which is also an institution of old white dudes. So… we know what must be done.

      Abolish the electoral collage.

      Amen. It feels like the gun control debate after a mass shooting: “Too soon to talk about it. We’re all in mourning.”

      We NEED to talk about this. We can STILL VOTE FOR BIDEN and call out the fucking failures in our system.

      Unfortunately, nuance and discourse don’t exist in the minds of most people. So, fucking whatever.

        Nuance and discourse were brutally slaughtered in front of all of us in 2016.

        Yeah, we’re a little touchy about it.
