    This is exactly what all of us should be thinking. Regardless of what you thought of Biden’s earlier prospects, it’s clear that Harris is far stronger. We needed to vote Democrat to stop fascism. Having a stronger candidate now is fantastic.

    You noted something interesting and concerning earlier – Harris has at least one vote now that she didn’t before, but the reception to that has been icy. People should be happy about this, not pissed. I don’t agree with them not voting for Biden, but I’m thrilled they want to vote for Harris and join the coalition.

    A lot of these people here remind me of performative leftists, but this time, as moderates. They should be happy that Democrats have another vote. Instead they’re annoyed and bringing up grievances. It’s performative, because they’d clearly rather get one up over Biden detractors than actually get more votes and see their supposed ideals achieved.

    Anyway. I also wanted to say that I appreciate you. You’ve always been very clear that while you had misgivings with Biden, you were still going to vote for him because the stakes are high. I’m sorry you’re getting dragged by idiots, and I hope you don’t let it bother you. It’s clear to me that you want Democrats to win so fascism doesn’t take over, and so that we can actually pass some left wing policies. Thank you for that.
