a lot of people were, but its hard to be heard over all the right wing messaging

reading the insanely long and obsequious list of achievements and including wrestle mania appearances and mcdonalds commercials being somehow a defence… its absurd as it is scary

what?

wait, the article said it stopped working because “child damaged it” …what! How? And how crummily designed is this thing that a child could wreck it

Hopefully they have known about this for some time and are preparing

No, Democracy isn’t dead. Its wounded and limping, but its still alive enough at the moment. Otherwise why would the billionaires and other assholes be trying so hard to discourage voting? It does matter if you vote. Fashy types want people to think it doesnt matter and sit it out.

I disagree. Presidents dont usually need an office to see if their orders are legally sound, as other than Trump presidents don’t typically suggest doing illegal things. Making it easier for anyone in power to ram through illegal orders is a bad thing.

no?

Journalistic standards exist. But for those you need qualified human journalists to give a crap about that kind of thing.

are you kidding?

Yeah sorry, I got that now

Have you not heard Trump? He is literally keeps saying he wants violence and to end democracy. If anything Harris should be ramping it up, why would they not say hea a threat to democracy when he literally wants to be a dictator and arrest his opponents etc.

Also Trump and Vance have intensified the violence and extreme language against the democrats - claiming the same things that are supposedly endangering the GOP so its ridiculous to claim the democrats are at fault here.

edit: I missed that OP was being sarcastic since there many pundits actually saying this shit

Not sure how he could command the military out of office, he seems delusional enough to think this is possible… either way the intent is scary enough.

I hope everyone on the sane side of things are preparing for this kind of crap

no, they are trying to reinstate it. Its easy to find this information.

Also why blame the democrats for “not bringing back” things the GOP have taken away. Why not criticize Trump or discourage voting for the GOP who are explicitly been responsible for these things if you care so much?

yeah agreed on this point, I dont think most people do this (unless replaying for the nth time)

Your argument wont mean much if one side eliminates elections and deports/arrests leftist dissenters (as they have promised). If you care about change its irresponsible to not vote against the dictator this time around. Harris wont outlaw protests, criticism and elections, for example. Trump and Vance will.

I definitely think some of this is the case here with these stories. But the main takeaway should be how important it is to keep Trump the hell out of office again.

Sorry, but why is the GOP donating huge amounts to Stein and helping keep her on the ballot if she isn’t running as a spoiler? Im sure theyre just concerned about democracy as they are in other parts of the country.

This being said, I wish the green party really was a viable option at the moment, but not with Stein in charge. Shes been helped by the GOP and Russia for a long time:
