"Donald Trump is going to win. And I'm OK with that." - Jared Golden, Democratic House Representative of Maine I really hoped it wouldn't be so, but anyone that's ever seen Kamala speak will find she is about as compelling as Joe Biden on a bad day. I believe this means China and Russia can prevail in the short term, unless he actually boosts Taiwan's defence meaningfully, which I doubt he will after the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan aid holdup fiasco. It is what it is. I wish the nominee was Gretchen Whitmer with anyone but Kamala. I wish Biden had not run for reelection. I wish he hadn't endorsed Kamala. I wish the Democrats and Obama had backed Sanders or Biden in 2016 when they were fit to serve. I wish Trump moderated himself after the attempt on his life instead of business as usual a week later. I hope I'm wrong about everything observably bad about Trump's first term and his decline since, because with another trifecta of loyalists, he's probably getting much more done this time.

Its really simple though. Do you want a dictator with near unlimited legal immunity in charge of the country? Thats what the November vote is for. Everything else is secondary.

  What? Presidents from now until forever have that near unlimited legal immunity, regardless of party. That's what the Supreme Court ruled. That question doesn't even make sense to a Democrat supporter, it's not that simple, because that's the same no matter who wins. And I want the non-Trump candidate to win, but the party has sabotaged their chances in a manner as to appear deliberate.

    Democrats have shown plenty of steps to rectify the supreme court ruling. If he have both executive and both houses control under Democratic rule, its very likely that they can clean out the Trump cronies from the Supreme Court.

  At what point is it no longer my fault for not voting democrat? Is the democratic party responsible at all for putting up an appealing candidate? How many times can they bully us with fearmongering into voting for someone we dislike? What's the end game here? we just keep voting blue no matter who as things get worse and worse forever?

        Just have to check these days, can't be sure. If you are a real human and not paid by Russia, I really shouldn't have to explain this. You are not voting just for the president. You are voting for things like Supreme Court, that party legislation not being vetoed, as well as people who staff agencies. At this point and time, the critical issue is the Supreme Court ruling of making a president a dictator. You have 2 parties - one party orchestrated this ruling through staffing cronies into the Supreme Court, with candidate representing extremist right wing views by Project 2025, which wants to use violence to subjugate people without giving a fuck about Constitution. The other party knows that it cannot use unlimited power to not lose trust of the people, and is actively working to negate that ruling. Without even touching policies (where again, Republicans lose out massively in both effectiveness and results), your vote is not for a person, your vote is for sanity vs insanity. None of this is up for debate. Everyone who doesn't vote or votes Republican in this election is supporting having US ran by a dictator. After this election, if we have actual sanity in place with due legal process that both sides respect, then we can talk about who to vote for.
