Biden is the best the system can do. Because it's a shitty system. In a just world we'd have had President Nader, then President Sanders, and then President West.

But we exist in post-modern technocratic capitalist society governed by a system that's older than the telegraph and was the best thing we could think of to replace the Divine Right of Kings and hasn't been dramatically updated since we gave women the vote and decided to not be overtly hostile to minorities.

It's a shitty, broken, fucked up system that won't give you what you want, but you can at least steer it towards a smaller cluster of orphans by voting for Biden.

And then learn to grow food and can because it's a long, long way down.

What crops would you recommend? 🙈

Pumpkins and potatoes to start with. They’re prolific and store well without refrigeration while providing a lot of essential nutrients.

Past that, tomatoes for flavor and vitamin c as they’re acidic and can well.

This hits me close as someone who has voted for green party in the past and gotten extremely castigated for it. You're not wrong, but I still don't like it.

Here's to plants 🌿
