Using the word "push" acknowledges that Biden will lean right when left to his own devices. Once he's in power there is no leverage to push him left with. It's illogical manipulation.

I think this critique tracks. But you kinda leave on a nothing track, besides saying no one should have said anything because attempting to opt out of bs is a reasonable response. That said, this feels a little disrespectful of subjective contingency, not saying that kinda deterministic thinking should rule you. It’s super important, but not the nadir of importance.

In Alabama I voted dem. In ny I vote to expand the field. They’re my votes and the points to try to do a thing and do other things.

My annoyance is far more with the only vote ppl as if literally only ballot day matters, not the material run up. Which is why I still snoop on your content. And the lib asking people to pls shut up there’s baddies reminds me of a boss who threatened to shoot the staff if they didn’t “row the boat together”
