(11,322 posts)Trump wins a second term and the SCOTUS is 7-2 Conservative for the next 50 years.
RvW is dead.
O-care is dead.
Medicaid and Medicare are gutted.
SS is privatized and all but gone in 20 years.
Now, if you believe that a purity test of how Democratic someone is remains important with all that is at stake, I don't know what to say to you to make you recognize this is NOT a normal primary or election and ideology is about 10th on the list of required qualifications in November...literally ONE thing is #1 through 9 - Can the nominee beat Trump and save the republic from swooning into totalitarianism completely.
Nothing else matters more right now. Nothing.
I don't care if the candidate is less than perfect, has skeletons in their closet or is out of the closet and has donors in their pockets. I care that the 46th president of the USA is selected and that the 45th is escorted out of the White House, into courthouses and eventually into prison for the rest of his miserable life. Period.
If I have to vote for fucking Satan himself to attain that end, then so be it.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
