2020 is going to be a resounding victory for the Democratic establishment.
Donald Trump would lose to a rusty trash can, but when Biden wins, Dem leaders will claim that shunning the left and embracing Bush-era war criminals is what did it.
THE ESTABLISHMENT WINS
Under the "existential threat" umbrella, Dems convinced high-profile leaders on the left to get in line.
And egregiously, they did that while Pelosi and crew funded Trump's abuses and refused to exercise an iota of power to hold his thugs accountable.
THE ESTABLISHMENT WINS
The result will be a Dem leadership that treats GOP operatives like heroes and leftists like dirt.
And Trump will have locked in the judiciary for a generation, with the help of Dems who folded like a house of cards, most recently on #AmyConeyBarrett.
THE ESTABLISHMENT WINS
I will happily watch Trump lose next week. And in a just world, people like Stephen Miller would face charges for kidnapping migrant children. (Not that I expect him to face any consequences).
These GOP racists & criminals deserve humiliation and defeat.
THE ESTABLISHMENT WINS
My focus in 2021 will be helping to build and grow another party. I'm looking most closely at the @GreenPartyUS.
I want a GOOD world, not just a marginally less awful one.
End of rant.

I'm furious that raging white supremacists occupy the highest offices in our country.
Furious that we're living in a police state where Black people are lynched at will by police, and protestors brutalized and carted off in unmarked vans.
It means you're an adult with the capacity to exercise an informed judgment and make an ethical, carefully considered choice for president. It means you value your vote and understand the stakes in the election.
"VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE"
To vote your conscience is to analyze complex factors, to weigh the outcomes, to be guided by your moral compass, to assess the impact of your choice on others, and to be true to your values and principles.
EVERY vote should be a vote of conscience.
"VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE"
For leftists, progressives, and millions of non-voters who find the extremist GOP abhorrent and the Democratic Party complicit in perpetuating a corrupt, immoral, oppressive system, 2020 is hardly the easy choice it's made out to be.
For nearly 4 years, they've enabled, accommodated, and empowered Trump. Funded his worst policies. (They did the same with Bush, then embraced him and absolved him of war crimes.)
Now, come election time: "VOTE BLUE OR THE WORLD WILL END!!!"
If he was such an existential threat, then why pass his bills, confirm his judges, give his cronies a free pass? Why punt every time you could use your power, lull people with theatrics like tearing speeches, then put the ENTIRE ONUS on voters when the shit hits the fan????
And establishment trolls have the nerve to yell at leftists "you're helping Trump!" while fawning over politicians like Pelosi WHO ACTUALLY HELP TRUMP.
I want all of you to understand what Trump is to politicians like Nancy Pelosi: A cash cow. A fundraising bonanza.
So much for the 2018 blue wave that gave Democrats the House. The Dem leadership has ONE solution for everything: Put the onus on voters and just clap sideways.
A relatively small minority of Americans on the left believe the entire system is corrupt to the core and that the ONLY principled position is to tear it down and not to keep enabling the #duopoly. They see establishment Dems as faux-opposition...
STOP SHAMING THE LEFT (cont.)
Just as you may believe they are responsible for electing Trump, they think YOU are, by upholding a system that put Trump in power.
Just as you may believe they are "purist spoilers," they think you are unprincipled sellouts to the oligarchy...
STOP SHAMING THE LEFT (cont.)
Just as you may think they are helping Trump, they know that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Dem leaders have enabled and empowered Trump, funded his most egregious policies, and fast-tracked his judges. All while raking in "resistance" money...
If you believe multiple accusations of sexual misconduct are disqualifying, then NEITHER #Trump nor #Biden should be running.
#MeToo is not partisan. And PLEASE don't come at me with the "lesser of two sexual assaulters" argument.
If you believe it's worth overlooking Biden's behavior in order to remove rapist, racist Trump, that's your prerogative. But don't denigrate the numerous women who have come forward against Biden.
For anyone giving me crap about this or questioning the facts, more than a half dozen women have come forward to accuse Biden of unwanted touching and/or verbal harassment.
