You literally said you got PTSD from Trump winning in 2016 lol. Not only is that hella insulting to people with actual PTSD but it makes you seem like you care more about winning anything else.

Ya that was definitely an eye roll worthy comment.

No you didn’t get PTSD you might have been depressed but you didn’t have PTSD because someone won

Don't remember that at all. But then you all kind of fade into an amorphous blob for me anyway.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

So, I think this is a good move for moderates, but I can't imagine the progressive wing liking it.

Do you want to cling onto the false hope that he will save America from it's fast approaching destruction? Then yes.

If you want to actually save America, well... I don't know if that's possible. Better to think about what to build from the ashes.

Thats; not going to happen.

Pennsylvania's going to go back and forth a low double digit number of times as recounts, mail in ballots getting thrown out and reinstated, etc runs through the month of november.

Biden is by far the better option plus I think its likely he doesnt run for a second term and defers to Harris to be his successor.
