Truth is, I'm likely going to end up voting for Biden in the fall, because for all his faults, he is infinitely better than Trump. But I want him to fucking sweat in the meantime. Because if he sweats, if he realizes he can't simply take the votes from the left for granted even as he gives nothing to us, maybe he'll fucking start giving something to us.
I have no illusions that he'll do the right thing out of the goodness of his heart, but perhaps he'll do the right thing out of fear of losing.
It's just a shame we can't make him sweat without making the millions who'll be totally fucked if he loses sweat too.
God I wish there was room for an actual threat from the left instead of "well I guess we'll make everyone who isn't wearing a maga hat worry about whether they'll be up against a wall by 2028"
I wish the party would quit taking advantage of the looming threat of fascism in order to be unresponsive to the concerns of its base.
