I keep getting texts from Democrats to vote for Biden and apparently the great state of Texas is a battleground state or something. Should I vote PSL or will fascists kick in my door a couple years from now? Howie Hawkins seems good, can the Greens hit 5% and does that actually matter?

I haven't followed any of this since Bernie lost on Super Tuesday.

      That's far too pessimistic. Skateboard O'Rourke lost 50.9% to 48.3% in 2018, and that was in a midterm where lower turnout favors Republicans. It'd definitely be a contest if, say, the nominee had strong support among immigrants and potentially could bring in new voters.

      As it is, Biden will probably lose, but him winning is still within the "who the fuck knows anything about anything anymore" days we live in.
