The Dems are going to lose not once but twice to this guy that anyone even a little progressive could have handedly beat.

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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Pff policy aside, the guy is a man-child and somehow that appeals to people

Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.
It's been in hospice since 2000.

And this fucker is about to win... I can't believe this.... And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won't even vote for their own best interests
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don't understand how it's so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it's because of the major cities.
Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we're just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.

Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?

And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a "temporary" financial crisis. The thing is, "temporary" can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don't last for a week or two.

Not many, for people of color
And women, and poor people, and journalists
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
masochists eat it up
Leopards Eating Faces party straight up tells voters that they're going to eat their faces... and they still vote for them.
Says the war dodging, low IQ (the true low IQ individual), balding denier, sexual assaulting, multi-time felon.
Trump is like 1985’s alternate timeline Biff Tannen only worse because he’s real.

Plenty of them already died, by eating horsepaste during a respiratory virus pandemic. The survivors didn't care.

This monster has to go. Not only should he lose but he should never be allowed in this country again.
We should bring back exile just for him. Send him to Antarctica or some shit.
Russia, since he loves Putin so much.
He should have been convicted at the second impeachment trial, but McConnell made up another rule that never existed before.
You guys can keep him. Just put him in an orange jumpsuit and throw him into one of your egregiously inhumane jails.
Oh, but our worst jails are outside America.
He doesn't deserve to live. The penalty for sedition and treason is death.
One of the side effects of the past 8 years or so, that I really do not like, is that this piece of absolute garbage has made me earnestly wish for someone else to die. I don't want to be that person, but here we are...
he should never be allowed in this country again.
I'd appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else's doorstep, thank you very much.
Into space is fine then, right?
Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.
Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won't be the ones suffering, it'll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.
They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.
If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.
As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that's not enough.
It's important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.

Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.
Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in "religious centers," and we've gotta start calling things what they are.
Just frame it as “Muslim” and the right will get it done for you. They do love voting against their own interests.
It is far more than okay with them when the right people are suffering hardships. They would elect the most overtly corrupt person to ever exist and destroy the country just to make sure the right people get hurt.

They don't understand that rooting for them, doesn't make them part of the team.
They don't understand that Donald Trump loathes them
"The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."
