I'm voting for Joe Biden in November and intend to continue donating to help him get reelected because: (1) the U.S. is in much better shape now than it was under the former president; and (2) many of the things that could be better (e.g., the makeup of the Supreme Court) are a direct result of the last president being in office.
No caveats.
No "even though..."
The rest of you can vote however you like, but my mind is made up.
What the fuck have Americans got to “make up their minds” about?
It’s democracy or dictatorship.
CHOOSE ONE.
It’s not that hard…. SMH #vote#votebluehttps://vote.org
“Our report concludes that the rapid growth in solar and wind has brought the world to a crucial turning point – likely this year – where fossil generation starts to decline at a global level.”
In April 2024, the EU’s electricity generation from fossil fuels fell to a record low of 23%. Fossil generation fell sharply compared to April 2023, even as electricity demand increased. This led to a 22% year-on-year fall in power sector emissions.
#POTUS#Biden & #Trump agreed Wed to a June 27 debate on @CNN, hours after Biden announced he would bypass the decades-old tradition of 3 fall meetings organized by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates (Trump stipulation, bc CPD has guidelines)
After Biden publicly embraced a #CNN proposal on social media, a Trump adviser,…said the presumptive #Republican nominee would accept that event. (We’ll see)
“I am Ready & Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June & September,” #Trump wrote earlier Wed on Truth Social. “I would strongly recommend more than two debates &, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds.”
(🤦🏼♀️This effing guy)
“Just tell me when, I’ll be there,” he continued, before referencing a tag line from professional boxing. “'Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!”
Of course the people that profit from the cheap Chinese solar panels are opposed to the new tariffs whereas the companies trying to build solar panels in the U.S. have a different attitude about them.
At this point in the election, I'd just suggest that everyone that wants for the USA to transition away from fossil fuels should restrain from criticizing Joe Biden because there are already of plenty of people attacking Joe Biden and Democrats.
Another day, another effort by #Republicans to cast themselves as the ultimate #victims. Nothing matters to these people but their own sense of #entitlement.
May 14, 2020 – Perchlorate, a toxic chemical compound used in rocket fuel, has been found to contaminate water, causing fetal and infant brain damage.

Exodus 32:7-8
7. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
8. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’
People in Trump's trial testified they expected the Access Hollywood tape to be a disaster. But "family values" conservatives shrugged it off. Just as the "lock her up" crowd shrugged off Trump's mishandling of secret documents. And the "lower the deficit" people shrugged off Trump's massive increase in the deficit. And the "all lives matter" people shrugged off Trump dismissing COVID risks and costing lives. And the "support the blue" folks shrugged off attacks on Capitol officers. #VoteBlue
…This is a good time to remind everyone you know that fascists are typically elected by the democracies they destroy. If 2024 goes sideways, this could be the last time any of us vote in a real election. If you think that’s hyperbole, you haven’t been paying attention.
May 12, 2020 – During a pandemic that had killed tens of thousands of Americans, Trump took the time to promote a conspiracy theory that suggested that Joe Scarborough of MSNBC committed murder. “When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Did he get away with murder? Some people think so.”

There’s absolutely zero chance that the next president will be anyone other than Biden or Trump. If you care about LGBTQ people, women’s rights, healthcare, and climate change, you need to get over your feelings and vote for Biden. Sitting out the election or voting third party won’t accomplish anything.
