I remember telling people to stop with the nice uncle Joe memes when he was vp. The dude is a huge proponent of the racist, murderous drug war. He’s pushed legislations on that front that have caused mass incarnations and deaths, all because Joe is scared of drugs. His war also paved the way for police mineralization, civil asset forfeiture, and this view police have that they’re an occupying army and we’re all potential dangers.
He is not a good example of a left politician. But when I would say this, I would be downvoted, cause you’re not allowed to criticize your own side I guess.
Agreed, I personally voted for Kamala Harris (early voting)
It’s a shit situation to have the candidates we do, but unironically, thank you for making the choice that makes it less likely that millions will suffer needlessly. I’ll be limping my ass down on election day to cast that same vote.
If Kamala wins I hope Liberals can use the next four years to actually do something (unlike Biden), hopefully ranked choice voting will be in and the electoral college will be out
Wouldn’t hold my breath on the electoral college. The process for a constitutional amendment is unlikely. Ranked choice and the NPVIC are both doable, in more states, at least, if not all, I think, if we put our efforts forward, especially with the momentum gained on the former and the VP speaking out against the electoral college on the latter.

From left to right - Student loans forgiven ($175 Billion)
Student loans that would have been forgiven without R fuckery ($430 Billion)
Total federal student loan debt ($1.6 Trillion)

Agreed. The Equal Rights Amendment was super popular with both Democrats and Republicans and they still couldn’t get enough states to ratify it.
