Don't you think it's democratic that he should be allowed to run again, given his approval ratings are so low?

Should you not be in the streets, fightng for democracy?

    More than a heart the deciding factor is still their material conditions.

      Combination of both, I think. I like to think of it in terms of probability: A rich, white liberal probably has a 0.5% chance of realizing things while a poor, non-white liberal living in a poor neighborhood has a 95%+ chance

      I'm not voting for Biden, but will say loud and proud that I look down on anybody not voting in local elections. Material conditions definitely lean towards Biden. Trump policy-wise really wasn't THAT bad, it's more about what he awoke in the American right that's so worrisome. Local elections post-Trump are a night and day difference. It's like how we're seeing those bills from Oklahoma trying to declare hispanic people terrorists. These people's bigotry is emboldened by Trump. Maybe believing the dems make it better is just delaying the inevitable, but I will keep voting locally until there's no point.

      Local (school board up to state) elections are starting to become the hypotheticals we've talked about for years. Openly genocidal people vs normal politicians. Pre-Trump, the dems would still win if the republican candidate was just too crazy. There was a certain candidate in my state that made national news with a shitty comment and lost to a dem solely because of how bad that single sentence was. If that same guy ran here today, he would have won.
