This is more than the most important election in our lifetime; it’s the most important election in American history. We’re deciding again whether American democracy “shall not perish from the earth.”

Your participation to help split the vote and keep Bernie Sanders off the November ballot is part of why our democracy is a sham.

regardless of who win, it's going down bad for the working class and poor, unless there is a fight back. "Biden won, my work is done, off to brunch for me", is NOT a fight back.

Then we had better be looking at the systems that allowed this to be our situation at least as much as the individual who is taking advantage of it.

You know Trump is not unique, right? Wait until you see the superfascist the GOP runs next time. We avoided fascism in the 1930s by electing someone bold enough to propose the New Deal. Obama's neoliberal failure gave us Trump. Biden's failure will give us God knows what.

I hate to tell you this, but I have heard that exact same argument when both Reagan and W ran for reelection. And each time the Dems ran a crappy neoliberal candidate vs the greatest threat to American democracy and lost.

I see what you're saying. I don't see much of a chance despite the results though, Marianne. Nobody's accepting the results of this election. I think we should just organize for when that happens, and organize to preserve what systems will stand amidst the rubble.
