hey how is everyone… i got my very first animal crossing game and then it made me make THIS so how’s YOUR quarantine going?

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Yes, Biden and Harris are very flawed. They’ve both done a lot of bad in their history. No, they’re not the candidates any of us were hoping for. But they aren’t literal fascists who are actively trying to kill everyone but the 1% and they will likely actually work to get covid under control in the US when the virus is still raging. I know we were hoping for more progressive candidates but this is what we’ve got.

If you want to push the Democratic Party to be more progressive, find your local candidates to get excited about and VOTE THEM IN! There are so many people running for Congress and Senate that can do some actual good in the world if we get them elected. They can draft legislature that can actually get approved if we have a Democratic president and majority in both the House & Senate. Most importantly, they can work to keep Biden and Harris in check. That’s the point of the three branches: checks and balances. So find a local candidate to get excited about, donate to their campaign, tell people about them, and vote for them!

i have a very distinct memory, in my childhood, of the moment of my disillusionment.  i believed that grown-ups knew what they were doing, and that the things that seemed so obvious to me had to be obvious to them, too (things like DON’T GO TO WAR IN IRAQ, for example).  i believed that, and had that belief pulled out from under me, so my disillusionment comes with a sense of betrayal.
