(or, “How I Learned to Stop Trumping and Make Politics Boring Again”)

LISTEN UP FUCKERS

Been hearing this SHIT a lot lately from disingenuous redhats and/or lazy fuckheads and I’m FUCKING tired of it.

So! You haven't looked at Biden's policy proposals? That's fine, we're all humans. Maybe you're tired of reading about politics. Maybe you just can't seem to break out of the the FUCKING Drumpf news SHITSTORM like the rest of this GODDAMN COUNTRY. Or maybe you just haven't made the time yet. Whatever, we're all human.

And I woulda let it go if it weren't for ONE TOO GODDAM MANY LOUDLY IGNORANT SHITHEADS WHINING LIKE THE TITLE so FUCK IT. I've gone through the platform outlined on the Biden-Harris campaign website and done my best to highlight the concrete, actionable proposals.

So everybody SHUT THE FUCK UP for a second and let's take a FUCKING LOOK at some MOTHERFUCKING POLICY PROPOSALS.

Highlights added by me, along with keywords for anyone who might want to grab these later. Everything here is pulled *directly* from https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/
