Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Dems should have rammed through making voting a paid national holiday, ranked choice and compulsory. After that, they should have expanded the Supreme Court, abolished the electoral college, and on and on. The problem is Dems never think Republicans could "be that bad". Look at Roe v Wade...

Are you truly prepared to "keep him out of the white house" for eternity? Every election year, doing more of the same because the system is broken, and those you vote for taking your vote as validation to keep the broken system. Does this feel viable?

I don’t know how to tell people that Joe Biden stone cold dead in a coffin is a better choice than Trump. At least his pallbearers will care a bit about democracy. Trump is a disaster which will be recounted 2000 years from now.

Well, you certainly need a president who won't take up SCOTUS's offer and start breaking laws to impose his own will. One of the problems needing fixing is SCOTUS, that's for damn sure.

I agree completely. So much Democrats need to do better and change. But the heritage foundation is threatening bloodshed and Trump wants to round people up and neither is playing. Maybe we focus on keeping Trump out of office no matter what for now.

Trump must be defeated. But if he wins, it isn't the end of America. We survived the JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations in one decade; Nixon/Watergate; 8 years of Reagan (where the MAGA shit started); a Bush the Elder term; Bill and Monica; 9/11 & Iraq war under G.W. Bush; and an insane Trump term.

It's simple. Even if you assume Trump's ascension will be followed by free and fair elections, every Republican president drags the country's *baseline* to the right, and downwards, making any future action harder, and more futile. Without exception. Every time. It just gets harder, never easier.

I can envision some travelers passing by our planet and wondering if they should stop to visit or keep going. We are not thinking about 'the planet' as a whole system. Nor are we paying much attention to what we're doing to it. We should. Too many of us aren't encouraged to think that way.
