Three things that are true:
1) I did not support Biden in the 2020 primary
2) I thought Biden looked like a reanimated corpse at the debate
3) I have every confidence that he is fully capable of being President, and the New York Times and other outlets are fucking him to goose readership
I am just Some Guy but it definitely has compelled me to get way more vocally supportive of Biden in defense, just because of how obvious it is that this is ratfuckery from the bad guys and their painfully stupid patsies in the press
Who did I support in the 2020 primary, you ask? Although I was not excited about it, I was certain the eventual nominee would be Kirsten Gillibrand, because I am very dumb.
She's up for re-election this year! Gillibrand's problem is that she came up as Hillary Clinton's protegee, which gave her some big coattails, but when she decided to start going after high-profile Democrats for sexual harassment (Franken, Cuomo, Bill Clinton) she became a bit of a persona non grata
Which... isn't great! But right now she's just a Senator who'll always win re-election but will never be a party leader, which is... more than I've done with my life.
Yeah, she'll be one of those people who eventually you'll realize has been in the Senate for 40 years even though you can't name a signature issue that they've had any real impact on.
I’m a NYer. I don’t think Gillibrand went after Bill Clinton (she wasn’t a senator until 2009), & the entire state went after Cuomo. (Is he had little to do w/ his resignation.)
But though I will vote for her for senator. I’ll never completely support her unless she apologizes to Al Franken.
