It was noted that the Black vote heavily helped get Biden elected in the first place. Maybe listen to the various marginalized groups who are litterally fighting to make sure that one of the most evil guys around doesn't get a second chance to try & wipe us out.
Biden sucks. Trump's evil.
Trump/Republicans: We're going to harm or kill every single one of you that we can, just because we can and we're evil.
Media/Dems/Pundits/Etc.: Maybe it's best if Democrats lose and rally back in 2028.
It sucks, but harmful people suck more. Be kind to those who were hurt, and be kind to yourself
Trying to make your process public here will harm you and harm others. It is not worth it.
If you are not ready to give up the work of someone who did bad things
You can enjoy it without talking about it
You know that right
Just keep it to yourself and stop seeking validation for it
Right now, depeneding on which media outlet or political "experts" you come across, both Biden & Trump are poised to win spectacularly but also lose spectacularly. Biden both is wanted out by a majority of voters or still supported by a majority.
Political polls & predictions run amok. Per usual.
Across media and sites everyone sharing various poles that all claim contradictary things all based off conjecture and polling (that could be minimal or biased in nature) as if the foregone truth.
Big time reminded of 2016.
Of course Trump and company are backtrack lying, turns out that if you loudly announce a multi-point plan for how fascist authoratarian you are about to go, even the people on your side start to bristle and go "Wait...."
System: "Gosh, we don't understand why so many never/rarely bother to use/seek out health help when needed. It's so bizarre. Oh well, back to divising a myriad of ways to punish everyone for even thinking about seeking any helath aid."
I don't work a job to find friends. I work a job because it's the bare minimum way to even get a bit of money to survive in this hellscape we call a world.
Republicans out here boldly laying out every plan they have to round up, deport, strip rights from, or kill everyone they want and still folks are like "Maybe Democrats and us will have a better shot in 2028...."
“softened language” = we started to realize this shit was polling badly so we are going to return to doing it quietly instead of loudly in the hopes that you forget
Suddenly having three kids (8-11) living here (during a massive prolonged heatwave) took all sense of peace and quiet and shoved it out the window.
Love my nieces and nephew, but they can sure be a lot.
I just want you all to think about who gets to be bodiless, to have their work float in a neutral space untouched by the actions or body of its creator
When someone talks about whether you can separate someone from their work, I know the someone they’re talking about is a white man.
Marginalized creators (including young women who are that man’s victims) are never allowed to have their work considered apart from their marginalization.
The NYT is an absolute trash rag at this point. This is what happened when journalism fully became another thing for billionaires to buy up and fuck around with.
"If Biden/Replacement loses in 2024, it'll be a clean slate for Democrats to work on 2028."
Bold wild fucking "optimism" to assume that there will be future elections or that any/all of us will still be around if Trump is re-elected.
Why even bother? It's gross how much of the focus is becoming a push to just plow through creative endeavors like eating flavorless slop rather than actaully engaging in a well-crafted meal you might actually enjoy.
Finally got up and did it.
Also, lost 3 lbs from last week (somehow) putting me at my lowest weight I've been other than the brief pre start of the pandemic first on Keto Era (where pounds flew off, till they didn't and came back).
Democrats keep ending up with the ball/puck/etc. with an uncontested route to score a decisive win, yet somehow keep tripping over their own foot so spectaccularly they end up in a cartoonish sequence of misfortunes ending with them face down in a pile of shit, after dragging us down too.
Sadly, as others have pointed out, we all know the bigotry and hatred in the Republicans 2025 plan won't mean much to the center or suburban whites, but the recreational sex ban will spark a revolution.
Political parties are absolute trash, but there is not a single doubt in the world that Republicans are just pure absolute fucking evil. Ghouls, every single one of them. There are no "good Republicans."
Because if there were, they wouldn't be Republicans any more with shit like this.
We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.
Just a taste of what they'll pull out if Harris was actaully even considered as a replacement. The Right and media have their bombardment for every contingency from Biden on down ready to pour out as they try to make sure Trump slides right back into office.
*Democrats get Biden out, end up scattered over who to nominate with no campain funds or momentum, Trump glides into re-election*
Media: "At least we got Biden out."
Media:
Every time I see a "How about Kamela Harris and (Insert Shitty Middle Bread Republican) for a ticket" the sigh that emerges could probably be heart around the world.
The bullshit media and Republican disinformation campaign writes itself before this even happens.
Tons of us did not survive four years of Trump and the rest of us abso fucking lutely will not survive the next four plus years if that man gets into office again.
Biden fucking sucks, there is no doubt of that, but the alternative is so much fucking worse it's not even close.
Only had my license for just over a week, and haven't driven for two days and my brain is like "Huh I haven't driven anywhere...I miss driving."
Never thought that would ever be the case.
One "political" side is bold face telling us they're going to kill each and every one of us while stripping every single right away so that we suffer (and possibly die) while they get around to us.
This is the shit we're in.
It's ridiculous to see takes online that think somehow Harris would have an easier path, as if the right would not suddenly turn their attacks from old age to racism & sexism and as if the suburban whites wouldn't panic and vote Trump because "Ahhhh woman, woman of color!"
