I’m so frustrated and saddened by this whole Biden situation. I was supposed to phone bank for Biden this weekend but I’m feeling sickened by the prospect of telling people to vote for someone who may have committed sexual assault. I know I’m going to have to campaign for Biden eventually, I’m part of a number of orgs who will be organizing for the Democratic nominee come fall.
I’m terrified of what four more years of Trump would do to this country and (although there’s no equivalency between Hillary Clinton and a man who committed assault) I remember “the vote for the lesser of two evils” rhetoric that people used in 2016 and I think that lack of enthusiasm was really harmful. I already know too many progressives who are saying they won’t vote in 2020 because “Biden is just as bad as Trump”. And on the one hand! Yes, we do deserve so much better, but there is no comparison to be made between Biden and Trump’s competence, and, perhaps more importantly, the competence of the people staffing their administrations. Trump has already done so much harm to so many Americans and I don’t even want to imagine how bad another term could be.
I will definitely focus on local politics but I don’t think I can avoid the presidential race in good conscience. It’s just such an infuriating situation and I feel so gross.
I love this!! I have been SO FRUSTRATED. Wish we could choose a woman.

These 2 can not be the best America has to offer.
What would it take to restart your primary? Can Biden withdraw and endorse Warren? America and the rest of the world, needS a Woman as president!
