I am honestly scared and I don't think society (not just the US) would really survive if this turd becomes reelected a second time.

Can we all agree to say Trump has dementia, and constantly hound him, his supporters and gop about this, beating the drum non stop, instead of just pointing out his wild statements when they come up, we need to question his sanity constantly like they do about Biden senility. If rather have a forgetful old man, than a bonafide lunatic
The good news is that Biden isn't even a forgetful old man. The media just takes every normal slip up he makes and runs it non-stop.
He's in pretty good shape for his age, both mentally and physically. I'd still rather have somebody younger. On the other hand, I genuinely cannot think of anyone less qualified than the Orange Baboon.
I would rather have an actual orange baboon as president than Donald Trump.

Suggesting at a rally in South Carolina that he would "encourage" aggressors (for example Russia) "to do whatever the hell they want" with Nato countries that fail to pay their dues
I would "encourage" people to piss on Trump's grave when he's dead.
I would encourage America to piss on his grave while he's still alive.
According to the dossier, he might like that.

"Appalling and unhinged" describes the vast majority of things Trump has said in the last decade or 2.
But here's the cool thing: it's somehow going to get worse!
I hope this time around he won't be able to hide behind "he doesn't mean it, he'd never actually do that"
I don't think anything Donnie says correlates with reality. Does that mean we shouldn't worry? Fuck no! He's a disaster.
But we are going to elect him anyway, because the other guy forgot a thing once. Just like we elected him 8 years ago, because the other one ran her own email server.
Not if we beat the drum about him being insane, instead of letting him get away with it as just another wacky thing
We’re going to get Trump again (barf) because the DNC insists on running shit candidates and refuses to acknowledge that they are bad, instead insisting that the voters are just too ignorant to understand how good their candidates really are.
Hillary Clinton was a horrible candidate: immensely unpopular even with the Democrat base, running on a status quo platform right in the wake of disappointment with Obama’s failure to deliver on “hope and change”, and acting as if she was somehow entitled to the position.
Biden is not as bad as Clinton in most ways, but is utterly lackluster and feels more like a moderate Republican. His unwavering support for Israel during their campaign of atrocities is despicable and shameful. The fact that he’s totally ancient and losing his mind isn’t helpful in the least. Why can’t we have a more compelling candidate from the DNC?!
This post will get modded down and ignored, as will the incredibly common and widespread sentiment that it expresses, and we will get Trump again as the nation and the DNC acts shocked yet again. It’s so predictable and infuriating.
Yeah, who is the candidate that has beaten Trunp before anyway?
His unwavering support for Israel during their campaign of atrocities is despicable and shameful.
If we're going to get Trump again it's in part because of the absolutely all-or-nothing brook-no-compromise attitude of voters. Like this, for example. Biden's support has not been unwavering, he's criticized Israel's actions. But not enough for you, and so he gets no credit whatsoever for any moderation he might have. And that's why you say he "feels like a Republican" to you, because someone can only be 100% totally on your side or they must be on the other side.
I'd love for there to be a viable fully-progressive candidate who happened to agree with everything I believe in. I'd also love to have a pet unicorn. When elections actually roll around in reality, though, none of the candidates are going to be perfect. And unfortunately in many first-past-the-post electorates the system is set up in such a way that there are only two viable candidates. So pick the one that's closest to your views. Push for better candidates in the primary, of course, but accept that you won't always get everything you want.
Get out of reddit and take your reasonable pragmatic opinion with you.
Thats what i did. Day one, and im already banned from world news on Lemmy as well now. For calling out russian talking points when they came up.
Then you're doing it right my friend. Hexbear and lemmy.world are overrun by Putin sympathizers who want nothing more than chaos and the continued decline of western democracy.

Before New Hampshire's primary I thought Biden was fucked.
I'm still worried now, but I'm no longer sure we're doomed.
What happened at the new Hampshire primary? Im ootl
