This awful Biden situation could’ve been avoided if the US had simply stayed under British rule and gradually transitioned to being an independent parliamentary democracy like Canada

Finally finished “We Are Lady Parts” season 2. I purposely spaced out watching it because there are only six episodes, and I wanted to enjoy it as much as I could. I just smile and laugh the while time it's on. Such a fucking delightful show.

If Biden stays in, I'll vote for him. If he bows out of the race and lets Harris run, I'll vote for her. But over the past week, I've moved from “Wow, that was a shit performance but he can still run” to “It's time, let someone else take over”
