    Honestly yes, not that the hard right will see that, but yes she has the huge opportunity to say something like “it’s time we put power in the hands of people who will see the effects of it” so to speak. If she used rhetoric similar to that it could be impactful for getting young people to actually vote like they did for Obama

      Biden has an opportunity to make speech saying something like, “I’ve decided I am too old for the job, as anybody over 70 should be. It is time for the oldest generation to step aside for their children and grandchildren. It is they who know what the world needs, because they are the ones who will live in that world. The younger generations should no longer elect anyone who is out of touch with their needs.”

        That’s what he should do, now let’s get back to reality, that’s never going to happen. That would require the geriatric fucks who put us into this godforsaken mess in the first place to admit that they just might have been, wrong and to give up their power to someone new. They’d rather die and leave the country in turmoil than do what’s right. And it’s across all three branches of government, it’s not anything exclusive to the Congress critters. Just look at how we got our current Republican controlled SCOTUS. These fuckers aren’t going to leave on their own, they need to be forced out.

          Regime is gonna regime this

          There is practical way to affect any of this. We can chose trump or Harris and neither of then is going to be anything of sorts.

          Can’t even get annual or maternity leave. Shit ain’t even on the agenda lol
