While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
This is part of why I’m seriously considering just not voting for president this year. They talk about an existential threat but they’ve done nothing to stop it and they repeatedly get caught boosting trump allies so they can campaign against the bogeyman.
I recommend you still vote for the most progressive Congress people that you can. That could make a difference in a few election cycles… Hopefully.
Oh yeah, I’m voting in other races.
