There’s been a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot, of pixels burned, ink spilt, clothing rent, and self-righteous smirks smirked over the “uncommitted” or “no preference” protest votes against Biden in the primary, especially in states with large Muslim populations.

That’s fine. Protest vote all you want. Be as much of a sanctimonious ass as you wanna be over it as long as you remember and understand these points:

  • We have a binary choice in Congressional and Presidential elections. It is either the Republican or Democratic candidate. There is no protest vote in the general election.
  • Do you prefer a Roe v. Wade America or a Dobbs America?
  • Do you prefer a 6-3 conservative majority SCOTUS or a 5-4 conservative majority? Or maybe, if we’re lucky, a 4-5 conservative minority SCOTUS?
  • Do you prefer Muslim ban America or real religious freedom America?
  • Do you prefer humane processing of asylum seekers or family-separation concentration camp final solution America?

The list of issues where there is a clear and stark difference between handing the reins of government to the Republicans or the Democrats is long and touches every aspect of all of our lives… an not in a fun way, in the show me on the doll where they hurt you way.

This list is why do we need to return Joe Biden to the White House, but we need to give him a 60 vote majority in the Senate and a majority in the House. We need a real life blue tsunami that will not only swamp the Republican Party but send it the way of the Whigs.

The slogan of the Biden campaign should be Remember 2016!

Anywho, this Claytoonz toon really says it all. It captures the zeitgeist of our times. Maybe even tattoo worthy. Give it a visit. Give it a like. Be sure to tell ’em that Ye Olde Blogge sent ya!
