The press must get across to American citizens the crucial importance of this election and the dangers of a Trump win. They don’t need to surrender their journalistic independence to do so or be “in the tank” for Biden or anyone else.
It’s now clearer than ever that Trump, if elected, will use the federal government to go after his political rivals and critics, even deploying the military toward that end. His allies are hatching plans to invoke the Insurrection Act on day one.
WAIT NO. This meatballs running again???!
Yes. It’s now a race between convicting and imprisoning him, and him winning the election and pardoning himself. And then using being president to both dodge punishment and likely issue in a fascist autocracy via Project 2025.
And don’t forget, there is no constitutional law that forbids a president from being in prison.
Honestly, I think Trumps gonna win.
Slowest pitch in history, and at the nth hour Biden outs himself as a genocidal fascist.
What a fucking moron.
Republicans will dutifully vote red and Democrats will refuse to support genocide.
Because of Israel? Trump would be so much worse. He already tried to expel Muslims.
Is he funding genocide anywhere else that I haven’t heard of?
Trump being worse is a given, but that doesn’t do anything for me.
I am done voting for horrible people because the other guy is more horrible.
Democrats want more votes than Trump? Get Biden off the ballot. Start actually listening to their constituents. Stop licking wall street and Republican taints for money, and start serving the people.
I recommend putting Bernie, or Katie Porter on the ballot. Oh hey, or AOC. She’s going to be 35 by the next general election.
Again, I will not vote for a man who has sent tens of billions of dollars to continue an active genocide, and is pushing for the ability to do it more behind closed doors into a black box.
That’s not how party politics works. If you abstain from voting or throw your vote away by voting third party, you may as well just vote for your least favorite candidate because you’re robbing the least worst of a vote.
Grow up.
Party politics don’t work for anyone but billionaires, politicians, and military contractors.
Grow up, stop believing in Santa Clause, and stop enabling a broken system.
That’s a default vote for Trump then.
Stupid, dumb ass logic.
Like a 4 year old going “I’m rubber, you’re glue.”
You are voting for evil. I am not voting for evil.
That simple.
Jesus Christ this is stupid.
If purity-test people like you would actually fucking vote for change, we could actually enact meaningful change.
Instead, we will never have enough left-leaning politicians to enact any sort of progressive agenda because of braindead voters like you who refuse to vote because the lesser of two evils isn’t perfect. And we get stuck in this 51/49 deadlock where nothing good ever happens.
Imagine being so stupid that you’d support the greater of two evils simply because you weren’t a fan of the lesser of two evils. Imagine this: You have to eat either a pile of dogshit with a small piece of corn in it, or a pile of corn with a small piece of shit in it. But you get to choose. And you say “ehhhh I don’t like corn so I won’t choose.” How stupid can one be???
I don’t care how badly you or I want Bernie, or AOC, or whoever to be the next president. IT ISN’T HAPPENING. So do everybody a favor and fucking vote for the candidate who is BETTER.
If there are two evils to choose from, and you get a choice, CHOOSE THE FUCKING LESSER EVIL.
Write Santa longer love letters.
You’re fucking evil and Santa isn’t ever going to give you what you asked him for.
Stop helping the broken system do what it does.
All I see is a person who sees two possibilities, recognizes that one is worse than the other, and then actively works to make the worse one happen. You have no grounding upon which to call anybody else evil.
I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump’s authoritarian state. The question is the timing.
I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean…think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we’re justifying Biden/Harris again because they’re not Trump.
