    Reality means holding your nose and picking the one that most aligns with you. Incremental progress or monumental regression. Your call

      I see no progress other than normal recession recovery stuff. I got to give him one thing, he said he’s the status quo guy and he delivered.

        I’m curious what your thoughts are on a 2nd term with Trump as President. Do you feel there will be significant progress towards achievable goals that support people?

            Oh, so you must want to support a candidate who has, at least, made and kept some promises?

              That’s pretty reductionist. I want to support a candidate who isn’t just the status quo or worse.

                It’s realistic in this situation. I do agree that much of the time we should focus in supporting good candidates, not just who others say we should. This time though there have been words said, and promises made, that threaten the lives of potentially millions of people. My goal is Biden first, better after. For this time only it is what we have to do. Afterwards let’s come together to make that positive change we all want happen.

                  I did that in 2020. He passed on the chance to reform the system and prevent this exact situation.

                Well by not supporting the status quo candidate you’re supporting worse.

                That’s how the math works out, literally that’s mathematically proven.
