    The message I’ve been trying to convey in all of these posts is that if Trump wins we may not get a chance to vote someone better next time.

    I don’t agree with Harris’ stance on Israel, I don’t agree with lots of things going on.

    I just want to have the chance to change it eventually, especially as the Boomer generation dies out from old age.

      “Look I don’t agree with Hitler on the whole Final Solution thing either but we may not have a Germany to reform if we don’t support him right now.”

      I can’t express enough that you will never convince us of the importance of voting to continue the genocide, or how much hatred I personally have for you at this point.

      if america is so fragile that a 78 year old wet sack of shit can completely conquer it and declare himself king for eternity, then it was never a democracy or whatever in the first place. it’s a farcical joke of a country that should have collapsed ages ago. If Trump is the boogeyman that turns America into Gilead, then what good was America anyway? The second dumbest man on Earth (first is Elon) rose to ultimate authority and is going to press the fascism button? He’s gonna suspend all elections?

      if it was always this easy, then America’s been a ghost for decades and I don’t know why you can’t see that. If this whole goofy constitution beating, spirit of America, our democracy stuff you’re talking about, if all of that somehow hinges on one specific guy not getting elected into office

      then what exactly do you have

      what rights did you possess in the first place, and how flimsy was this stupid country to begin with? jesus christ just listen to what you’re saying. “vote for someone better next time” fam I don’t know if you know this but when candidates lose it’s not like they poof into the shadow realm and take all their support with them. They’re part of the American sausage factory for life. The donors that fund both candidates don’t go anywhere. The wealthiest of Americans continue to exert power no matter who tf it is. do you really expect Trump to suddenly flip the board over, when the wealthy are mostly content with how things are going?

      ask yourself this. Why isn’t Trump arrested right now? Why didn’t the CIA just shoot him with a polonium dart gun? If he’s supposedly this level of a threat, that he’ll flip over the whole state apparatus, that’d be a bad time for the bourgeois class, right? I can’t imagine the wealthy want to stir the pot, when…they’re literal ghouls who control the whole world. Why upset a good thing they got going? Look inside yourself and you’ll see the answer: the wealthy don’t give a shit if it’s Trump or anyone else. He’s the same type of American politician you always get, and he’s already proven that in the 4 years we had him

      Jesus christ I hate talking to libs, you always bring out the worst in me and make me type paragraphs just to content with your mindless pablum. fuck.

      You’re not getting a chance to vote for someone better either way. The Democratic Party keeps moving right towards Fascism because people aren’t willing to stop voting for them.

      You MUST show that they can’t take your vote for granted or they will never listen to you!

      Imagine the results come in on 11/5, Trump wins a close race by winning Michigan by 10k votes. What’s that? Jill Stein got 12k voted and PSL got 3k votes? Democrats will hate us but also might try pandering to US for a change instead of Dick fucking Cheney!

        It’s really more of a return to tradition. For most of American history, the Democrats were the haven for bigots, warmongers, and other such scum. The Dixiecrats are a far more recent phenomenon than most people think. Joe Biden himself got his political career started under their wing.

      Feels like your election system is completely broken and it’s only a matter of time before the Republicans get it and dismantle it or whatever you reckon Will happen

      Let me tell you something I’d bet my life savings on: Trump isn’t going to dismantle democracy and be a super pooper dictator scooper. Can you really not cast your mind 8 years back to when people said exactly the same thing, and he won, and nothing changed? He’ll just be the same decline that the Dems would have been.

      Last time Trump was in office the entire country rioted. Under Biden you’ve seen brutal crackdowns on students protesters and the rest of the country applauded like seals.
      Kamala has said she will work closely with the GOP, so which is it? Are they threat to democracy or someone to work with?
      The Dems are doing everything they can to crush any political movement, yet they’re somehow not a threat to democracy? Tim Walz had the army attack BLM protesters in 2020. Somehow he’s the good guy?
      In a sane country you’d be in a mental institution.
