Never mind that Biden will destroy democracy in other countries, probably just as much as Trump does. If not more.

When levers of power are not controlled by the people, it is not called a democracy.

The Democrats are kicking 3rd parties off the ballot. We don't live in a democracy.

Voting for Biden isn’t about voting *for* Biden, it’s about voting *against* Trump and everything he represents.

I'd prefer the @DNC actually taking action to restore Democracy. Like listening to a majority of the country in favor of #GreenNewDeal and #MedicareForAll. What good is voting for a candidate that refuses to put out the fire, no matter how bad the arsonist is? @AOC

She says this as the Democrats lobby to pull the Green Party off the ballot, no irony lost!

If *as a party* Democrats understood those stakes, we would never have been in this situation.

I'm not so sure I'd say we ever had a real democracy. I'm more inclined to say we're continuing to struggle to make the US a democracy. Trump would snuff out that dream like Pinochet in Chile.
