Re: Trump got shot?

[philstar22]

Losing the election will at least prove that his ideas aren't wanted by the majority of this country. Then maybe the Republican party will start backing away from supporting him.

DA

Here's to hoping that pans out.

I think it was unlikely that he’d lose election and now I’m certain he’s going to win. I’m so damn disappointed in the DNC. They should have run someone else four years ago.

Yeah, well, a lot of people should've also voted against Reagan in the 80s. Er, I mean against Trump in 2016 so that things wouldn't be this bad. They also should've not let perfect be the enemy of the good and shown up at every election to keep the worst candidates out. But now we're here. And the only way out is to show up in numbers too big to ignore or dispute. And keep showing up at those elections, even the ones you don't think are important.

Because the alternative is Project 2025 (or project 2029, 2034, 2037 or whatever year the Nazis try to claim if we let our guards down).

(Obviously, if you are not an eligible US voter, then this isn't directed at you. And if you are in a stupidly gerrymandered area or someplace subjected to great voter suppression, I sympathize but I hope you will find a way to vote anyway.)

There were plenty of younger candidates who ran 4 years ago. People didn't vote for them, or at least, didn't vote in large enough numbers for them. Biden got the nomination because he had the ability to rally not just Democrats, but also independendts and any Republicans who looked at the Trump-ification of their party and noped the fuck out. That's a major reason why he won, because he had a broad enough support base. Maybe some of those other candidates would've done that, too, who knows - Biden was not my first choice, either, I went for a younger candidate.

But that didn't happen, and I sure as fuck didn't want a second term of Trump, so I got the hell out there and voted in November of that year. If we do lose this year, it's not going to be because of Trump and his supporters, it's going to be because of the indredibly defeatist, short-sighted attitude of the Democrats and voters who care more about finding that "perfect candidate" than they do looking at the bigger picture. Yes, Biden's running, but he's not the only one on the ballot, and our conversation should be focusing more on what a second temr of his administration can do in terms of addressing the issues with the Supreme Court, and what other efforts we can take to ensure things like LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights and so on are protected at all costs, and things of that sort.

To say nothing of how, if Biden wins, since he won't have to worry about running again, he and his administration might be able to be a little bolder in ways they weren't able to be the first time around. Use that Supreme Court "immunity" ruling to his advantage, for all I care.

But no, apparently we don't need to have that conversation. Totally better for people to just throw up their hands, say, "Well, that's that, then" and continue with this stupid age discourse.

(I do think there is a valid conversation to be had about age limits for politicians, mind, but the way it's being done here now is not it. And it's far too late, too, in this case, so it's just irrelevant side tracks that do nothing to address the actual issues we're facing.)
