2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.

    I realize you said this, but I still have to clarify what a dumpster fire that whole field is on that side.

    I still wouldn’t vote for them, but they would be better than the others if the Republicans somehow win.

    Christie is as petty as trump, he held up ambulances and shit to get back at someone. He also let his employees take the blame for him for that. He shut down a beach and decided it was a good idea to take himself and his family to his own private beach. The only reason he stands up to trump is because he wasn’t picked as trump’s vp. He’s a POS, imo.

    Haley seems to still have ties to russia: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/haley-us-forces-align-countries-including-russia-campaign-99816163 I knew she did, but she still does too. Plus, she’s a woman, there’s no way in hell she’ll get enough votes.

    I don’t know anything about Blinken, I’ll look into it.

      He may be as petty as Trump, but at least he has never planned a coup to overthrow the freaking government. A Republican willing to call out Trump for his bullshit is better than those that continue to lick his asshole imo. Sure it’s a low bar to meet and Christie has a whole other bag of problems, but sadly most don’t seem to get to that bar.

        Christie only did that because there’s literally no other way to make himself stand out from other Republicans.
