Why? I love it! He's taking ass-whooping after ass-whooping for the most part. Saddle up, it's election season and democracy is literally on the line. If there's one year to stay in tune, it's now.
Fair if one isn't American, though this clearly has global implications and we could use all the help we can get to push back against bots.
That's true. I'm just on the verge of losing all hope in humanity. The fact that Trump still appears to be a suitable presidential candidate to many Americans is a major contributing factor.
Yeah... I hear you. Unfortunately ignorance and echo-chambers abound and low-educated uninformed voters are exploited by massive right-wing megaphones.
If it makes you feel better, Trump never once won the popular vote and the polls the last 2 election cycles have skewed toward Trump because Millennials and Gen Z are underrepresented. Moreover there really isn't any sign that Trump is magically garnering more Trump supporters who weren't already. To the contrary, 4 years have passed with his most ardent base of boomers dying off while a massive number of new young adults have since entered the fold. (here's hoping Taylor Swift keeps pushing Voter registration). Trump has no incumbent advantage. The economy (by Republican standards) is doing great. Everyone is on to the maga attempt to steal elections and that has for the most part been dismantled.
So assuming high turnout, the fascists will be routed once again.
Thank you for the good news. It's refreshing to hear something positive for a change. I hope the situation develops similarly here in Germany. It's great to see hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to rally against the resurgence of right-wing populism and fascism in our country. So apparently not all hope is lost yet. Let's hope for the best.
Hear, hear. Good luck, my friend.
I'm not American so I'm just grabbing a chair, popcorn and watch your country's best clowns run their circus.
I'm rooting for these particular clowns to continue to fall on their faces so that hopefully the lesser evil clown wins.
Yes it does, but none of us out here get a vote on the issue.
We have to trust the American electorate to do the right thing (as scary as that sounds...)
