Oh no, far from that. Vote Biden all the way (I’m not voting cause I am not an American and not in the US).

But I think that higher levels of political participation would have prevented this in the first place, as it would probably mean that waaaaay better candidates would come out of both parties (and eventually new ones)

I used to think people who voted party above politics were the worst kinds of people. Then Trump won a term and I realized that while party politics were extremely stupid, we have a responsibility to do damage control. Failing to do damage control will result in someone with the IQ of a candy bracelet becoming leader of the free world and doing exactly what you think he'd do with that power.

I love this metaphor - after taking a moment to consider whether it's unfair to candy bracelets...
