This is so true.

I got into it with my husband the other night. He will vote for Joe, that is for sure. But he was bagging on Democrats for trying to be all things to all people. He was like pick a position and stick to it.

I said wait a minute. The Democrats are having to shoulder the burden for both parties, Democratic and Republican. What looks like shifting positions is Dems acting like be the adults in the room. It used to be that political conflict was centered around which side had the better ideas on common issues in order to move the country forward. The common sense Republicans are backing Biden and I suspect there are a lot more of them than even we know.

And excuse the fuck out of us for feeling empathy for others, for having feelings and emotions, for shedding tears.

Needless to say he didn't say much after that.
