Until Biden is sworn in on January 20, 2021, I don't have any political issues. None.
When Biden won the nomination, I was asked what I thought about it. I said "Yes!, Biden is our nominee!" Not, "He wasn't my first choice, but . . . "
When Biden picked Harris as his running mate, I was was asked what I thought about Harris. I said "Yes!, Biden picked Harris, and she's gonna be our next V.P.!" Not, "Well, she wasn't my first choice, but . . ."
It isn't that I don't care about freedom of choice, separation of church and state, the environment, criminal justice reform and a whole host of other political issues that are important to me, it's that GETTING BIDEN/HARRIS ELECTED IS THE PRIME OBJECTIVE. Majorities in Congress go hand-in-hand with that objective, but any issue, and I do mean ANY issue, outside of that objective, is a non-starter.

(15,210 posts)Even the "realness" of this election has gotten shaky enough that we're scared that only a landslide will keep us safe.
No other issues matter more than this at the moment. Even the few non-brainwashed Republicans who remain, like the Lincoln Project, understand this.
We all fight for Biden/Harris today so if there are any other issues that are important to us, we'll at least have a chance to fight over those issues on another day.

(53,410 posts)The entire primaries, all the way up to the Democratic nomination are of no real interest to me. This time the candidates were all good. All of them. I was going to be happy with whoever was nominated. I did hope for a woman as VP, and I thought a Black woman would be just perfect. Crash those damn glass ceilings ladies!
So Im quite happy with Biden and Harris!
