Lets hope that voters aren't that incredibly stupid. If they are the USA is officially over.

I have a hard time understanding how someone’s conscience could allow them to permit Trump to win this election.

The only people saying this are those with the privilege to throw away their vote and won’t be affected by the consequences. If they are, I’m sure mommy and daddy will be there to rescue them. I am voting for my daughter’s rights to be protected and to protect the most vulnerable in this country like my elderly parents and POC like me. Our choices will shape the Supreme Court and therefore generations to come.

You can be critical of the situation now and still vote for him. In all honesty, there is no good decision here and he will get skewered either way. Bottom line is if you are critical of Bidens handling, Trump will let Netanyahu do what ever he wants.

People think they are punishing Biden by not voting for him. It's called cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.✂️👃💡 SMH

Yeah, because Trump has such a great track record to care about people like us peasants. 🤬 Good Lawd, I am just shaking my head and want to scream. When is this frigging nightmare going to be over and done?

People need to stop thinking this is a regular run of the mill election and realize it isn’t about loving your candidate, it’s about saving this country and democracy as we will not have freedom for decades if Trump wins

So much of what we face as a nation moving forward is simply hate based. Decades were spent putting that genie back into the bottle only to have Trump come along and make that hate okay again. America has been fleeced by this guy. Bamboozled and conned. And half of America is okay with it. Even if Trump loses the upcoming election, he's already primed his half to deny a loss by his party. So it isn't enough that he and he alone lose the election, but all those that are up for election in Congress, the Senate, state governors, legislators, even down to council persons, mayors and school boards need to be voted out of incumbencies and voted against in challenges and elections. Trump isn't doing this alone. He has a huge following in every channel of government and if all.we do is just the kingpin, there'll always be an underlying to pick up where he left off. We simply need to crush the right and crush the hate from the top, all the way to the bottom.

I’m worried by the amount of people who say they are “both the same.” Did we not all live through the same pandemic? Where Trump’s actions and rhetoric cost, by the most conservative estimates, an additional 100,000 people their lives? Do those people just not matter? And do the people of Palestine not actually matter? Because Trump will do even less than Biden on that front.
I get hating this 2 party system. But the way to dismantling it is through local elections first. Throwing away your vote during a presidential election makes no sense and is counter productive to any progress we’ve been able to make pulling the current Democratic Party further left. Lotta good it will do when the far right is running the country.

The only thing scarier than Trump as president is all those Heritage Foundation goons in positions of power. They seriously want to destroy democracy in this country because they know they aren't the majority, and want to ensure their remaining in power regardless of the majority's will. They would be in position to do incalculable damage to the United States, and must be kept out of power at all costs. Everybody needs to put aside their butthurt about Biden's Middle East policy, inflation, age, etc., and remember that this could be the last free election this country ever has.

Not only gonna get worse for women it’s gonna get worse for working class people because they’re trying to get away from unions and things they get benefits for working class. People had it so same people vote to make their problems worse when you vote for a party that keeps giving billionaires tax breaks when billionaires say they don’t pay enough taxes it’s only gonna get worse, and they’re trying to get rid of any workers workers rights laws, for some reason the conservatives like to cater to the billionaires

It will be sheer hell for anyone who is NOT RICH and WHITE. Personally, I will not be affected except for my heart and soul dying from watching cruelty and misery inflicted on people I love and care about.

Yeah, it's gonna get worse for women. That is half the population. It's also gonna get worse for everybody else. That's the other half. Nobody is gonna be untouched, nobody is gonna be safe, nobody is not gonna suffer. But yeah, it'll be worse for women, as usual.

It is far too early to pay any attention to polls — and in any case, democrats have been significantly over performing polls in elections since 2020 anyway.
Biden is doing an amazing job and will easily win reelection once voters start giving him credit for his impressive record. All the talk of Trump being reelected because Biden is blowing it is playing into Trump’s and Putin’s hands, and according to their plans.
The media apparently learned nothing drom the disaster of their coverage in 2016 and refuse to give Biden positive press while covering every move Trump makes.

And while Trump is destroying our rights and status as human beings, he'll encourage Netanyahu to kill as many Palestinians as possible.

I think it's a better strategy to reach out to uncomfortable with Trump Republicans, moderate Republicans, fiscal Republicans than it is to try to convince anyone who's using the term _genocide? Joe"
