Elections
I will vote for whoever is nominated Democrat in this election, because the fascists are too much of a risk to permit.
And I will make mental note of every senior Democrat whose name I can find who argued for subverting the will of the electorate, who pushed this into a situation where we are getting a nominee who was chosen not by the people, but by the party elites. And I will donate to their primary challengers come the next election. I will write postcards. I may even unbend enough to make calls. (I hate making calls.)
Because removing American democracy cannot be allowed to stand. From either party.
(Once upon a time I had a lot of respect for Nancy Pelosi. Now? Now she needs to be out, if she was the ringleader on this. Not this election, but in the next primary. I am a single-issue voter on the subject of "democracy continues to exist," and the Dems pulling a nicer, politer version of it doesn't mean that's not what they did here. This is Democrats taking a page out of the fascist playbook and in the primaries when it's safe to do so they need to be scathingly electorally rebuked for it.)

I'm feeling surprisingly okay, seeing everyone rally behind Harris, but if it had been literally anyone else I would definitely have Questions.
