    It’s the middle class who won’t be.
    It’s the working poor who won’t be.

    Why’d she say “working class” twice?

    Crazy how the choice is between “everything the same with mild change (maybe)” and “everything horrible with the world”.

      The choice is between having an opportunity to make a difference and being actively prevented from doing so.

          A Trump administration will jail opponents, accelerate oil and gas drilling, and help to destroy the world that much faster.

          We don’t have any chance to improve things if they win one more time.

          Want a better world? It might be possible to still build one. You can’t look at Joe Biden and say “Eh, not good enough.”

          If his plans aren’t enough for your tastes, organize and do better. Inspire others around you.

          It’s not gonna be easy, and it might not even be possible. But each person who just gives up makes it that much harder for everyone else.

          Me, I’m 50. I don’t have a ton of hope. But I’d like to still have a chance to leave a world to another generation that isn’t completely overrun by fascism.

          Brazil pushed back. So did France and the UK. We CANNOT just give up.

            Ah alright, for some reason when I read the comment I wasn’t sure who you meant represented which. I’m not American but I’m definitely with you.

          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.

    Vote for Biden, he is not Trump.

    Tell me how America is the greatest country in the world.

    Edit: I get the message, will tone down the snarkiness.

    I think the sentiment I should convey, is that democrats need to cut back the arrogance. The main reason they won the last election was that it was a vote against Trump.

    I’m going to vote but damn can we at least acknowledge how depressing it is to be stuck in this position to begin with? If 2016 wasn’t a wake up call I really don’t know how we can snap the Democratic Party out of this corporate controlled mediocrity.

      You can’t “snap the Democratic Party out of this corporate controlled mediocrity” because “corporate controlled mediocrity” is the point.

      What? You actually thought they “represented” you?

        This. This election is Fascist Capitalism versus Fascist-Lite Capitalism, and any attempt to point to some minimal gains made via executive action (when the SC just killed Chevron Deference) since we can’t get actual change through Congress is whitewashing.
