      So did I, but I have to say he’s done better than I expected. I almost think because he’s another Old White Man he can slip stuff through that would have gotten shot down by the rest of the Old White Men if Obama had tried it, or a woman, or even a progressive OWM. Maybe it’s because they know he’s not going to press for more progressive goals so they don’t see it as a slippery slope and dig in their heels. At least in his geezerly way he seems to have the best long-term interests of the people at heart.

    Hmmm, a center-right candidate who seems to believe in the political process to achieve what he thinks is best for the country, even if I don’t agree with much of it, versus a demagogue cult leader grifter whose followers want full-on authoritarianism? Tough choice, tough choice.

    Yes, I have warned for years that the Democrats’ triangulation and lesser-evilism would get us here, but here we are, and democracy is awful hard to regain once it’s gone, so there it is.

    I’d vote for a bag of Biden’s toenail clippings if the other option is Trump (or one of the neonazis that have surfaced in Trump’s wake).

    It’s like asking if you’d rather eat a plate of raw spinach; or be shot in the mouth with a 10 gauge. Whether or not I like spinach is moot: gimme that fucking plate!

    4 more years of Trump seemed just a little less appetizing than 4 years of a geriatric capitalist lame duck.

    As much as I hate liberals they’re still meaningfully better than fascists, and nobody I agree with had a meaningful chance of even being noticed.

    I voted for no one. Because both sides suck. Pick your flavor of shit, blueberry or cherry.
