I have been thinking about this very thing. I also think that bots and trolls have invaded us.
It's embarrassing to see so many people who have so little internal fortitude who claim to be leaders.
It's if we were practicing the mythical practice of carrying grandma to leave her high up on the mountain to die because she's outlived her usefulness.
Except instead of going home without her we stay on the mountain and ourselves risk dying in the snow.
We can't leave our President Biden on the mountain. We certainly shouldn't convince ourselves that there's nothing else useful we can do and leave ourselves and each other out in the cold to die.
Thanks for this, Ocelot II. ❤️

"You 'all in for Biden at any cost' folks"? Excuse me? That's not what this is about.
