ahoy all!
after giving it a bit more thought, i'm hoping candidate Joe Biden thumps his rivals and takes the prize ("the prize" being the Democratic party's nomination to take on President Trump). i am abandoning Mrs. Warren.
i don't believe any of the major policies that Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Warren have proposed have any chance of surviving Senate or House votes (though, generally speaking, i love most of their policy positions), so what's the point? is the point to rally the far left of the electorate only to get crucified in the general?
Mr. Biden will seek to build on the Affordable Care Act, he may even introduce some version of a public option. he supports "free college" at community colleges (so, 2 years of college courtesy of the taxpayers).
i'd like to think the environment is an important issue - but i don't think it is, really - and by the time the shit really hits the fan, just about everyone posting here will be dead and buried, so, who cares?
President Biden will issue some executive orders, and he'll probably undo most of the carnage that Mr. Trump has done to the EPA.
he voted to authorize the 2003 invasion in Iraq, a major, horrific blunder...but eh, nobody is perfect.
in the end, this election is mostly about stopping the cascade of GOP appointments to the SCOTUS and lower courts along with a return to something resembling normalcy.
so...go Joe BIden.
i apologize in advance to Anung Un Rama and VivaRevolution, because i know they are going to be horrified, but i want to win.
