15. It's still going to take me a long time

to forgive how quickly Dems pissed down their leg after one fucking debate and decided to backstab him with 100 days to go. Maybe they panicked... Maybe they had legitimate concerns about his age... Maybe they were playing the long game in thinking if we forced Biden out, the Republicans would feel a duty to do the same to Donnie after unbearable media pressure...

(Just a daily reminder: Don't ever count on the GOP to do the right thing in ANY situation... This is a party that actively sees out the worst possible option just to fuck with us...)

But as I predicted on Twitter, instead of the media turning their focus to Donnie's age and cognitive decline, his slurring of words, his long rambling diatribes that went nowhere and the fact that he not only performed way worse than Biden in the second debate but then chickened out of a third debate, they just dropped the issue entirely...

And now we are all living in the worst possible timeline...

(Also, a special FU to the Dem voters who loved Biden and loved Biden's domestic accomplishments, yet couldn't bring themselves to vote for his veep because she's a black woman...)
