I’m going to go full-on unfiltered bitch on everyone. My Warren sisters – we get one more day to grieve; my fellow Dems who are deeply unthrilled with the remaining choices – you get one more day to gripe.
Then we all pivot to VOCALLY/VISIBLY ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING THE FIELD AND THE EVENTUAL NOMINEE.
Why? Because we don’t save our country from Trump by “holding our noses and voting.” We save our country by inspiring the 91,739,344 people who didn’t vote last time to get their asses to the polls.
It’s true that of the 327,000,000 people in the U.S., neither Sanders nor Biden would have been my choice for president. (My choice would be Julie Gonzales, followed closely by Stacey Abrams and Elizabeth Warren.) But that’s not how it works.
You know how to do this. You’ve had dinner at a friend’s house and happily, enthusiastically, eaten and even praised food that — if you were being honest — would have skipped the dog’s dish and gone straight to the compost heap. But there was a higher value: your love for your friend.
That’s where we are now. For the love of our current and future fellow Americans, for the love of the people at the border and in camps, for the love of the law that Trump’s courts would destroy, for the love of the earth, for the love of the truth, we need to happily, enthusiastically eat the dish called Democratic Nominee.
Every time you say something enthusiastic about Biden or Sanders, you are saving the country. Your capes await you.

Amy:
Other than that she is a fellow DSA’er, can you please tell us more about Julie Gonsales?

Had people followed such wisdom in 2016, Clinton would have won the election, notwithstanding interference, Comey, voter suppression, or any other factor. It is far too late in the day to cast a vote for a third-party candidate as a mere symbolic gesture, or worse, refraining from voting because the perfect candidate is not on the ballot. Such self-indulgence will result in difficulties in the years to come that could require more than a decade to restore the status quo.
