Two things:

1)This essay gives me hope that we may prevail in November.

2) Shawn Fain is a rock star.

While I am hopeful because I know Joe Biden has the numbers, I am concerned about him not being on the ballot in Alabama and Ohio. While Alabama is red, red, red, Ohio is a purple state and could go for Biden. I hope that there can be a successful write in campaign if he is not.

Ohio here. THE most corrupt state in America. Been writing almost daily to the thugs in charge, demanding they check past presidential elections, and when the conventions fell. They KNOW this is BS, but donтАЩt care, and DARE anyone to do something to stop them. Problem is, theyтАЩve destroyed the public schools already, and people here donтАЩt even bother to vote. ItтАЩs pitiful.

I hope there is something that can be done. Somehow, Biden should be declared earlier if need be for all states to include him in. This is BS and we all know it, but the Republicans are past even the pretense of following the law, so it is best to have a plan B.

Oh, something WILL be done! The outrage here is palpable, and getting louder, by those of us here WITH a brain. The criminals who run this state forgot that there are still a few of us alive, and we're coming for them!

Not on the ballot, have I been sleeping?

Both states have deadlines for parties to name their candidates that fall before the dates of the Democratic Convention.

Those тАЬdeadlinesтАЭ have been ignored in every presidential election in my 68 years, until now. Need any more proof of the corruption in Ohio? IтАЩve got lotтАЩs more!

Missed that. Was it a deliberate ploy to exclude Dem candidate? At least Dems can see this one coming...

Can't they just move up the convention date? The Democrats.

Lord, I hope

No idea if it was deliberate. I think the DNC may have just missed it.

They can't afford to miss much. The cretins have been busy. Chump and his minions are truly the "energizer bunnies of evil."

I think I read that exceptions have been made before when this happened. In this political climate, who knows!

I must have been sleeping too.

And so are you for choosing these two fine things and expressing them so economically and so well! Thank you.

We need to remain hopeful that enough people recognize evil and vote their conscience. The fly in the ointment is the wackadoo JFKjr. The money thinks he hurts Biden, I could argue the opposite.
