No shit dude. You need to focus on the present first, though, so that we can continue to work towards that future you speak of. Because right now, the authoritarians threatening to make that future inaccessible are more relevant.
We've been told that since Hillary was running. How long are you all going to keep beating that drum?
I didn't like Hillary one bit. I don't like Biden much more. But if folks had voted for Hillary, we'd not be in this mess and having this debate right now.
So yeah, maybe this time would be a good time to decide that lesser of two evils is a better choice than greater of two evils.
I hope they swap out Biden so people such as yourself might feel mollified enough not to help Trump get in again. The only thing "better" about Kamala Harris will be that people can STFU about age, but hey, I'll take what I can get. She'll pull us further right than Biden would though, mark my word.
Harris would also be the first female president and also the first woman of color to be president so we can check that box and stop worrying about it. Hillary's hubris with wanting to be the first female president blinded her.
Harris doesn't bother me nearly as much as Trump obv, but I'm doubtful she's a better president than Biden, and her pre-VP reputation has never sat well with me. Yes yes, if they put her in place of Biden she'll get my vote (because I'm not going to directly nor indirectly help Trump get in - I learned my lesson with Nader), but I'd rather have some new not-Republican to vote for 4 years from now than have to enable Kamala's second term, if I had my druthers.
