    I also have felt unburdened by what has been, as if a spell was cast on me. I had no doubt though that replacing Joe Biden with literally anyone, including his son or dog, would increase democrats chance of winning. I think in my case it was more of letting go of pent up anger towards the rotting carcass of the current president and all those who campaigned for his reelection. Including the lovely folk of lemmy, for whom I still might hold some animosity. To those that rode hard for Biden, a sincere fuck you.

      Thank God Dems got their act together. Thank God Biden stepped aside. This is a much better timeline now.

      Biden was still the right choice if the Dems were never going to run someone else. Full stop. Trump literally just told Christian voters they’ll never have to vote again if they vote for him this time.

      But I never “rode hard for Biden” in the sense that I felt he should’ve been the choice for the Dems. My argument has always been whoever the Dems pick is necessary to save the democratic process in this country (among many other things).
