    My neck is one of the first on the chopping block. Yes.

    You acknowledge your life will be in danger if Trump wins, but yet double down on stupidity. I have a hard time believing you.

      Because it’s not just about my self interest alone.

      This is what you need to grasp; you live in a fucking bubble.

      You think the house across the street is on fire, but your house is burning down, people are getting burnt alive right now in your house, it just hasn’t reached the room you happen to be in so you keep trying to tell everyone that you’re ok so they need to stop their hysterical screaming and, not to worry, we all just need to band together and bail water from your bathroom sink to stop the fire. “Don’t call the fire department, they’ll get my room all wet!”

      The lesser of two evils strategy is deluded, it’s completely disconnected from reality. Biden democrats are the bathroom sink here. We need the fire department, and that won’t happen until you acknowledge that the sink not only won’t cut it, but is a counter-productive waste of time.
