A lot of people thought she was going to go all the way to the RNC, but I didn’t think she would last that long.

Now the question is what they’ll do if Trump gets convicted. Not every trial will be delayed until after the election.

      Watch Parts Unknown when he went to West Virginia. Heart of Trump country. For good and bad it helps explain why he is the pick again.

      Eh, don’t believe the polls saying hes in the lead. Everything I’ve read said that there was significant methodology concerns with that poll and it should never been harped on by the media like it has been.

      but the media wants controversy, so they glomp onto bad data because it gives them what they want… something to drive eyes to them.

        The fact that 30% of the U.S. population thinks this dementia suffering racist idiot is their messiah and will save America from downfall should scare the shit out of you.

        Even if he doesn’t win, there’s a non-zero chance there will be violence and attempts AGAIN to overturn the results of the election.

        Don’t expect a smooth transition of power just bcz you want there to be.

          23%. In 2020, it was 74,223,975.

          74,223,975 / 330,000,000 ≈ 23%.

          So our country could end up being led by only 23% of the population.

          theres a different between not taking the polls seriously, and blindly believing a poll that experts say is severely methodologically flawed.

        That crossed my mind to, but the way Republicans are gerrymandering districts and obstructing voting has me really worried.

      If we elect him, then we deserve all the shit that will happen to our country and world. There is no better example of a “never” candidate than Donald Jackass Trump.

        We aren’t electing him.

        23% of the population is electing him. (Not voting age, the total US population). 74,223,975 / 330,000,000. And Trump has always lost the popular vote

        It’s very much minority rule here.

          Nah.

          Jackasses who don’t vote don’t count.

          It’s the percentage of people that voted that matter, that’s it.

        The rest of the Western world is watching thinking “please don’t be dumb because we don’t deserve the foreign policy consequences”…

      Are you living in an even crazier town knowing that he will probably become the next president? That’s horrifying to think about lol

      edit: Downvoting me doesn’t mean it won’t happen, look at the current chances, he’s leading, unfortunately.
