[ExI] Who has a vote that counts?

[Dylan Distasio]

Just hazarding a guess, but I don't think Rafal will be voting for Biden if
he deigns to vote.  The Marxist playbook of Biden's handlers is pretty
obvious.  If he goes with the establishment pick of Rice, you'll end up
with a voracious hawk instead.  Neither scenario has much appeal unless
you're in favor of redistribution/cultural annihilation or war.  I won't
say more as to avoid starting a political thread which is verboten.
