Peter Frampton is "totally supporting " Harris & all Dems, but says "I needed time to just not see Mr. Orange on my TV". [View all]

A feeling a lot of DUers can identify with.

New, lengthy interview in the Daily Beast, which I'll also be posting about in Music Appreciation, but I thought this belonged in GD:

Well, obviously, I hope that Kamala Harris is voted in. I’m a Democrat. I endorse her. But it’s a bizarre time right now, with Biden dropping out, the attempted assassination, and all that. It’s like a movie—a bad movie, actually. I have nearly always been up to the minute with everything, but when everything happened over the last few months, I didn’t drop out, but I needed time to just not see Mr. Orange on my TV. I needed a break from it, because if he’s not getting attention, he’s p--sed off. So I pulled back, just a little bit. But now I’m really energized. I am totally supporting Kamala Harris and all the down ballot Democrats—all the locals—and doing my bit to help. And I’m hoping for the best, because my belief is, if [Trump] gets in again, he’ll never leave. People say, “Well, we’ve got Congress, and he has to go through them.” But the man has just been given a free hand to commit any crime and get away with it, if he’s elected. So, tell me how that’s not going to help him stay in office? They almost did it before, and if it weren’t for his vice president, they would have. And now those fake electors are the electors. It’s scary, because I do believe our democracy is on the table. So, I’m doing everything I can to support Kamala Harris, and all the Democrats.
