      There’s an election in November, so, no.

      If Trump gets what Project 2025 wants him to have, SCOTUS will repeal term limits, and he’ll challenge the results of the next election using his party-loyal Article F State Department.

      He’ll be “President” the same way Putin is “President.”

        What do you mean “there’s an election in November?”

        The results of that contest have been written on the wall at least as far back as 2015 when the DNC put us on this course.

        The incumbent won’t step down, so the choice is between Trump or the guy that is expected to lose, which isn’t a choice at all.

            I support a wide range of resistance tactics and I’m not about to tell people to give up, but I will say don’t organize online. Do it in person and leave your phone in another room…

              I love getting downvoted for telling people to organize and not to let the FBI listen in. /s

              This country is so doomed.

            Literally everything the Left predicted in 2016 is happening right now and you are making fun of it as if it’s not that big of a deal.

            Cope.

          Trump was “expected to lose” the 2016 election. Far more than Biden currently is

            The 2016 election fell within the margin of error of the polls. Don’t act like Hillary was a shoe-in, nobody who was paying attention was surprised after the shit she and the DNC got up to in the primary.

      You do not get to insist that everything be the way you want it to be.

      Grow up and use the power you actually have rather than spamming your discontent everywhere.

      Work for what you want to happen. Or just roll over and invite the fascists in. Those are your two choices, and you’re saying the first one isn’t a choice.

      That says A WHOLE LOT about you.

        It’s a free country. I can insist on whatever I want, just like you are free to ignore me.

        Grow up and use the power you actually have rather than spamming your discontent everywhere.

        I’m almost 40 and I’ve been banging on this drum since Bush v. Gore. If you don’t like having a political conversation with someone who demands better from the Democrats and our government then you’re going to want to stop engaging with politics entirely.

        Work for what you want to happen.

        I’m trying, but people like you keep telling me to resign myself to Biden’s inevitable loss because we can’t do any better.

        Or just roll over and invite the fascists in. Those are your two choices, and you’re saying the first one isn’t a choice.

        Of course there isn’t a choice, we either vote for Biden or we get Trump. That’s not a choice, that’s a hostage situation.

        That says A WHOLE LOT about you.

        Precisely.
