This isn’t like other elections in the past. But at the same time there is no clear full proof solution for another person to take the wheels. They should do whatever it takes to make sure Trump and Trumpism is defeated long term.
Trump is only a symptom of a dysfunctional system. Whether it goes by the name of trump or it goes by the name of something completely different, there will always be a boogeyman to scare voters for them to remain in power. Democrats will provide a boogeyman for their supporters and Republicans will provide a boogeyman for their supporters. All in an effort for the duopoly to stay in power, and keep any outside threads at bay
This is another “both sides are bad” argument; while partially true, the Republicans clearly are much worse.
Aaaaaand you get downvoted.
People don’t actually realize why there’s so much support for Trump. A lot of the public is tired of the gasligjting, bullshit, and lies that establishment politics has brought them for the last ~70 years.

Yes and Trump would (and already has) brought far more of that than we’ve ever had to stomach before. Your point is straight out of 2016, wake the fuck up.
In this thread: people who don’t know how poorly this went every other time they switched.
do they know we automatically lose Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin if we lose Biden/Harris?
I can’t fathom the circular firing squad mentality at work here.
Correlation isn’t causation, the switches happened because they were doing poorly
One time the switch happened because the popular candidate was assassinated.
One time it was partially because of, and partially the cause of the Civil War. (Contest only resolved after Southern delegates walked out)
One time it was because neither candidate could get the support of the KKK. No that’s not a joke.
And another time it was because of the civil rights act. The guy who ended up causing the contest really, really hated it.
In every single case, the party that had a contested convention lost the election. Generally by a pretty wide margin.
Wow. Blue maga is real, and just as militant culty as Red maga. It’s gross. I almost wish I could unsee. Almost.
Blue maga?
Why are so many self claimed leftists on here using a Steve Bannon coined term?
It was a dumb epithet. Until Biden supporters started attacking the fake news media, pushing misinformation, and attacking true blue Democrats for speaking out against the dear leader. Then it became uncomfortably descriptive. When you’re attacking Pod Save America for not being good Democrats you’ve lost the plot completely.
In a nation where 50% of voters are democrats and maybe 200,000 people listen to Pod Save America, the majority of them probably themselves in the media, how many people does the term blue maga apply to here?
Blue maga seems like such a hard sell. Like, I get regular maga, Trump is an asshole, but he’s got personality, he’s entertaining, he’s got all the things you’d need to be a cult leader effectively. Whereas Biden is basically the opposite of Trump personality wise.
There go the Democrats, shooting themselves in the foot again.
Mr.Biden could be heard mumbling to himself “I’m not dogmatic, only I can save America!” While standing in a corner facing a mannequin trying to shake its hand.
No he didn’t.
“No, no he didnt… but you can imagine what it’d be like if he did!”
By acknowledging that Biden has absolutely no chance and needs to get the fuck over himself? If he actually cared about the country then he wouldn’t be so dogmatic. It is not solid fact that he can win or that it needs to be him. There are other people who can do the job.
