His Violence Against Women Act approach looks great, especially the attention it pays to supporting traditionally exploited and vulnerable Native women and LBTQ women.

Yeah, there are SOME reasons to vote for him than just not being the other guy... Still gritting my teeth while doing it.

Well it's hardly just Joe Biden people are hoping to toss out of office. Mitch "Putin's Bitch" McConnell and the whole Republican party can go rot and die in a dark corner for all I care about them. The Filibuster is dead? Fine, lets get 50 seats, the Presidency, and enact whatever the fuck we want to, and let them rot in their corner screaming.

See, the argument "well Republicans are going to try and shoot everything down so why bother to try" has a flip side. And that flip side is "the Republicans do not want to be part of a successful and stable government. They would rather have our country fail than see it succeed if they're not in charge. That makes them traitors to America, and the only thing to do is throw every single traitor out of office."

In other words, it's a damn good argument for a party vote. Which, for the first time ever in 2020, I'm strongly thinking of doing.

Well lets see, they literally shut down the government multiple times during Obama's last term in office (something that had some pretty devastating effects). They were obstructionist for the sake of being obstructionist. At one point they refused to seat the Supreme Court justice who they recommended out of sheer spite. For a year.

So yes, I will simply vote "the most likely candidate who is not Republican" until every current office holder and everyone who supports the current office holders is out of Politics. Because that is literally the game the Republican party has chosen to play.
