    Drag didn’t care how bad Biden is as long as he’s not Trump. Drag is glad Kamala is running instead, because she’s better than him. But drag would have been happy to elect Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man as president.

      You’re alright Drag. :-). And thank you for letting me vent so excessively and not calling me on it. I needed that. I’m a lifelong Dem straight ticket voter who cant stand Biden. Or Harris.

      And I hate how we are trapped in both parties fielding bad candidates with no end in site anytime soon. Harris will try to run twice and after that they are queuing up bloody-hands mealy-mouthed Blinken.

        Drag is trying to avoid venting about Harris until after the election. Preventing the fourth reich is more important than all of drag’s concerns about the Harris campaign. Drag doesn’t like it, but drag doesn’t like protesting under the hot sun or arguing with transphobes either, and drag does those. This is one more sacrifice for the cause.

        Drag thinks if Trump loses badly enough, the GOP could collapse. It could schism and maybe neither side will be able to stand up to the Democrats. When the GOP isn’t a threat anymore, we can either vote Greens or split the Democrats in two to make a left party. We can pass electoral college reform and ranked choice voting. We can make a democracy. And we can gather weapons and organise all the while and try to achieve a revolution. But all of that requires Trump to be gone.

        We need to help Harris so we can move beyond her. She’s a stepping stone on the path to the future. We’re gonna stomp on her head and get one step closer to having someone like AOC in the white house.
