    As I read this, I think of Biden encouraging voters to go out during the primaries without concern for COVID. I think of his promises of Medicare For All. I think of the way that he cut back on COVID protections, forcing people back to work once in office. I think of the ways he funded a genocide and broke bread with his war criminal peers.

    As I read this, I’m indifferent to his suffering.

        To be fair, it was a much more effective electoral strategy than the follow-up:

        we’re not going to do shit if you vote for us!

        actually, doing nothing would be way better than what we were planning, not to mention way harder to buck our lobbyists that want us to do the terrible things, so we’re going to fuck things up pretty bad if you vote for us. but the other guy might fuck things up slightly more, and it’s your fault either way! but we won’t do anything to stop it, because that’s too hard/we don’t care, good luck fuck you!"
