Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

More of a threat if he wins.
Threat to democracy? Good thing eliminating threats to democracy is an Official Act for the Executive Branch, of which President Biden is the head.

He should go after the ones bankrolling him and pushing hard wing ideologies to him. But yet again the same would have to apply to democrats financing billionaires. I guess let's shoot the messenger and hope no one smarter and more popular comes after him.
Definitely
No matter what happens, I'm worried. I'm not even American.
Resident Canadian here.... If Trump loses, we're possibly looking at another January 6th, and potentially it will be far far worse this time... If he wins, there may be a similar uprising for the same reason.
If he's elected and sworn in to office, there's a very real chance that he will be the last president, voted in to power by an election, and sworn in.
Every outcome is scary. Good luck you guys.
Everyone on every level is aware of these possibilities. We have a democratic president in power this time so things will go far differently if the 1/6 route is chosen. It will be a dark day for sure but at the end of it we won't have to worry about a lot of idiots anymore.

What the republican machine is setting up for this go around is at the local level. They are putting funding into "election monitoring" and there is also the risk that certain states or localities refuse to certify a Kamala win.

I'm not really worried about another January 6th if Trump loses. The reason why it was a threat was because Trump was still in power and he or his lackeys made sure there wasn't much security that day.

Sleepy DonOLD has a lot of foreign debts and a lot of shady foreign ties. He talks openly about being for sale to the likes of Elon Musk and other billionaires. He uses the levers of populism to scratch his narcissistic itches while simultaneously grifting those foolish enough to be the marks of his confidence schemes. He's a powerful tool under the influence of some of the American people's greatest enemies. Worst of all, he's a criminal using his position in the Republican Party to avoid going to jail and make himself into a king with enough power that he would be the envy of England's King Charles I or King John, who were forced to have to obey the rule of law. Joe Biden needs to work harder and faster to restore freedom to the US. People need to vote blue and, just as importantly, stand up to 34's sycophants and greedy lawyers.
Trump is less of a threat than the people who support him.
A lot of Senators, House members, SCOTUS Justices, and other officials in the states make 34's schemes possible. They're in an unhealthy codependent relationship because they've already said and done so much evil in support of DonOLD's operations that they risk losing face and power if they gave up helping the Weird Orange. They're worse cowards than Sleepy Don at this point: Mike Johnson, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, JD Vance and many many many more.
I think you mean 45? Or is that cuz of his charges or something
But yeah honestly the entire GOP apparatus is currently at the very least complicit if not actively belligerent in the attack on democracy.
