    A Biden presidency isn’t moderately safe. Internationally, we’re supporting a genocide and a dozen other horrible things. Domestically, there has been no notable federal action on women’s right and LGBT rights, less than nothing is being done to address our increasingly (under Biden) overfunded and overmilitarized police, Biden put down an imminent strike, we’re going backwards on the environment, and a dozen other horrible things. Jesus Christ, Dems are talking about violating international law and denying asylum requests at the southern border, in addition to doing nothing about nutjobs like Greg Abbot trying to close the border unilaterally.

    You have to let go of the idea that “oh we can’t risk Republicans getting power,” because Dems are doing so much of what Republicans said they’d do just a few years ago. Democrats are a speed bump at best; the ride is unsafe whether that speed bump is there or not.

      I was more referring to the amount of damage an unchecked trump presidency could do. Biden is bad, but trumps been pretty clear he wants to be worse. As I said, I think your approach of not Biden for president and Dems for congress might be reasonable providing there are enough anti-trump numbers in both houses to prevent the worst that trump tries to do.
