Mmmm, vegetables are good for you. Voting for Biden is not a total catastrophe, but he’s not a strong leader or a great influence on the world. He’s a functioning adult, and we badly need him to win, but let’s not pretend that the progressives who don’t love the guy are wishing we had cake and ice cream for dinner.
If you refuse to vote or vote “none of the above”, that’s just not eating dinner. That’s not an option that’s going to work.
People are still yelling about Bernie because there hasn’t been a good progressive candidate for president in 8 years.
I have a challenge for everyone who says “our leaders are too old”: what new leaders are you looking for? Who are you finding?
I don’t mean the narcissists the media is pushing (Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, Andrew Yang, etc.). Who are you finding in your local area? Yes, we have to do the work.

I agree with you that we need a new class of better leaders, and I agree we all need to vote for Biden in the general election. Then again, I have zero interest in running for anything.
But it remains his job to win votes, and he’s failing. He’s failing all of us. He has a responsibility to the American people to win this election, and he’s fucking it up the same exact way Hillary did in 2016, only he won’t have Bernie to blame this time around.
Tammy Duckworth. If we make it, I hope I live to see that woman become president in 2028 or beyond.
