I hate Biden, too. But the republicans are working hard to sabotage climate action and to keep big money in politics. I'm not American, but I'd really love it if you all would vote Trump out then argue this with Non-Trump when he's in office.

Republicans are still massive misogynists too....the religious right wants to force little girls who were raped to risk their lives giving birth, Mike Huckabee style. They want to defund public schools to shove their religious views on everyone using tax dollars. Bible thumpers want women out of the boardroom and back into the kitchen and “submissive.” They believe women aren’t fit for leadership or even a career. Every social ill is blamed on “feminism” or “working women.”

I live in the south and Republican males and their pick-me supporters despise women and infuse every level of politics with their religious views. They can fake concern for women for awhile over the trans thing, but then they’ll go after gay people, ALL women, and non-white people. They don’t give a shit about domestic violence victims and they believe MRA bullshit about “divorce rape” and boys being oppressed by “the system.” Trump dog whistling about Andrew Jackson every 5 minutes has them horny for him too.

Right? Can't fight the TRAs if you died from heatstroke, or during your forced childbirth, or starved because "handouts are evil you lazy [swearword]", or shot by the police, or deported, or ...

Your opinion, cool.

However, my blood went cold to read how quickly this issue will be addressed by the Dems. Working and advocating has better outcomes when there is TIME to do so. Rolling back bad policy, regaining protections that are lost, requires efforts and commitments I fear we will never see/achieve again in this country. Especially, when our words and self-definitions have been appropriated. So, Dems best be screaming NOW, not wait til after the election, to protect women's rights!!! (My opinion) Edit: to add thought

As a non-American who can't go to any homeless shelters in my country without men in them, I honestly hope Trump wins so that America can be the leading example in holding up sex-based rights. Maybe my country will follow in a few years.

I doubt the climate will collapse in 4 years and, if anything, capitalism will make certain things cheaper and more available (e.g. solar power, electric cars), and more things being made in the US (i.e. less cross-ocean cargo ships and more state-specific factory regulations). I honestly don't know what Obama/Biden did to help the environment in their 8 years.

He can make changes--like voter suppression and stocking the high court with judges--that will last longer than four years, though.

No. I am not voting for this girl-sniffing, AGP-pandering POS.
