    We see Trump as an existential threat to democracy. In nearly any other time wasting your vote really doesn't matter.

    That's it? What about these guys?

    NSFW... in most places, anyhow



    Now, the language may seem a bit upsetting (or it may not), but the basic idea --freedom to segregate-- isn't as offensive as it ought to be with these people.

    No you don’t.

    If you did, your party would do something other than bitch and complain.

    Maybe instead of blaming third party voters you should direct your anger at your party leadership.

    Your party leadership is more interested in maintaining status quo.

    If I actually had the power you seem convinced I have, I wouldn't be arguing with you ********s.

    There is plenty of anger to go around.

    Republicans for nominating voting for Trump.
    Democrats for not voting in large enough numbers.
    3rd party vote wasters who tipped the scales for Trump a few key districts.

    Democratic leadership for not yet holding Trump's and Republicans' feet to the fire.

    Republican leadership for, well, being obstinate pricks.

    What do you think we have been discussing for the past 2 years and 10 months?

    OK, so if impeachment starts you will be happy and back the party that can defeat Trump. Glad to have you on the right side of history, Stanger.

    Every 3rd party candidate is better than Trump. If one of them ends up as the leading opponent (unlikely of course) I will vote that way.

    You seem to be under some sort of impression that I am trying desperately to get you to say a particular thing, just like you are with stanger.

    You guys project a lot.

    I never voted Trump so I was never in danger of being on the wrong side of history.

    If Democrats want to win my vote they have to do better than Biden, Warren, Sanders.

    Like what ... hold hearings that the GOP ignores? Pass House measures that the Senate won't bring to the floor? You tell me what you would do as a leader of the Democratic party.

    Alright. See ya in 2024, Stang. Something tells me the Dem opponent of Don Jr. will be lacking in your eyes too.

    Each of those three is 10x better than Trump.

    Of course. He dislikes Trump but has a purity test for his Dem opponent. Therefore he's really not that uncomfortable with Trump or the mess he's made.

    More to the point, any of them is 10x better than Governor No.

    Some of us out here have lived through a couple of Johnson administrations, and it was excruciating...

    I don’t know if either party will be able to get me to vote for them ever again, regardless of how much the partisans claim the sky is falling.

    And the sky may really be falling this time.

    No doubt.

    Doesn’t mean they should be voted for. There are other choices in the ballot in Ohio.

    So the strategy is to simply throw their hands up and not make an effort. That is an awful lot of faith to heap on this group of candidates.

    It is. He's been emboldened after the Mueller report & testimony.

    Maybe, but he’s still a moron.

    If he was actually smart I would be worried.

    Don’t you have 2 children with pre-existing conditions, who will become uninsurable if Trump and the Republicans aren’t stopped?

    He certainly is a moron. But still a dangerous one. He's tapped into white grievance so well and learned from Roy Cohn how to make his weakness his enemy's weakness. He just did it with Hunter Biden and some media outlets bit.

    I will keep saying that every time..... White privilege is a powerful drug.
    To write that statement above when we are all witnessing & living every day the damages of a Trump presidency on peoples life, particularly minorities is simply unconscionable and callous.
    People like you and you acolytes here are objectively a danger to the very existence of people like me.

    Trump and the republicans are proposing removing the reinstatement of the pre-existing conditions rule?

    You are going to have to show your work here, none of the SN groups I am a part of has said anything about that.

    Scaremongering?
