Told BIL not to call

My husband has a heart condition and needs to stay calm. Hi younger brother calls and they discuss the election. His brother refuses to vote for Biden because Biden isn't far enough left or"pure" enough. When my husband started yelling I asked for the phone and explained again that my husband, his older brother shouldn't be stressed because of his heart. BIL said "I don't care.". I said "FU, Dave, don't call again" and hung up. I guess to whole family knows I said and did that by now.
I feel bad but I am really tired of people who don't realize we are fighting for our very lives in this election
Thanks for reading, I needed to vent

I mean, after losing both Merick Garland and RBG's SC seats. How can any left leaning person not see that we need to win in November?

We could have gotten a 5-4 left leaning court but rather, we got a 6-3 conservative court. Do they want to lose more SC seats?

He brought it on himself. What a stupid thing to say!

I notice I am a lot more blunt and even nasty with people who pose a threat to our Biden presidency. They don't realize how important this is.

None of us have any choice in who our family is, but we do choose who we will share our lives with. That is the bond that is critical.

You have ZERO to feel bad about.
