FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE?

On one side – you have a woman of color, a daughter of immigrants, with a lifetime of work experience in state, congressional and federal government. An intelligent, thoughtful person who actually wants to protect individual rights and freedoms – like reproductive rights and abortion access, gender and LGBTQIA+ equity, our public education system, our planet – while keeping our justice system fair, fighting for common sense gun reform, and figuring out a pathway to financial stability for those less fortunate/marginalized/of lower socioeconomic status. She values science, makes decisions based on facts, and wants to tax billionaires a little more. On the other side – you have a twice-impeached convicted felon with more lawsuits in process, who idolizes dictators of past & present; is a misogynist with a verified history of sexual harassment and assault spanning 5+ decades; denigrates veterans and their families; is transphobic to the point of running a national ad campaign specifically against them; has stripped pregnant humans of body autonomy and personal health decisions; curries favor with white christian nationalists and racists in his disturbing rhetoric, public policies, and immigration stances; and is a corrupt, failed businessman who only cares about enriching big corporations and billionaires (while removing environmental and consumer protections), along with himself (while avoiding inevitable jail time and million dollar fines). THIS GUY IS OLD, DEMENTED, CANNOT COMPLETE A FULL SENTENCE, LIES THROUGH HIS TEETH, AND TRIED TO STAGE A FUCKING COUP WHEN HE LOST THE LAST ELECTION.

Every rational human with even the smallest moral compass knows that this election shouldn’t be this close. But here we are, releasing a new beer with 3 reasonable parties (oh one can dream!) of hops – Citra, Idaho 7, Ekuanot – over a clean malt bill, so that we can stress drink ALL WEEK LONG while we contemplate the future of democracy as we know it. -Cloudburst Ver menos
