In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future
Not American either, but the situation looking from the outside is pretty horrendous. The solution is not to vote for him, or to turn out in such numbers that it would be impossible for him to get in.
Here’s the rub, about fifty percent of your voters either want him, or don’t care enough either way.
So many millions of your people are toying with the idea of soaking yourselves in fuel and flicking a match.
You actually have the solution - get out and vote and get your families and friends out too, or suffer the consequences.
We’ll get as many as possible to vote. It almost seems unfair that others in the world don’t get a say in such an important election, since Biden winning could save the world from another world war. The stakes are once again, very high.
That is an interesting suggestion, and has been made many times before. Australia (for instance) is pretty much handcuffed to the US. Ever since WW2 we have been in lockstep with you guys. Every damn war and conflict. It would be nice to have a small say in who drags is into war that we never ask for.
But still, we do it to ourselves. Other countries don’t.
It’s less than 50%. The problem is there’s no stopping Trump supporters from voting in November.
Democrats historically only show up to vote in favor of a candidate, not in resistance to their opponent. It’s unbelievable how many people see voting as showing full support of a candidate’s policy, when it’s simply the most effective way for a citizen to strategically influence the nation.
“I can’t support anyone who supports genocide” is justification to stand aside and allow far more genocide of Ukrainians and Palestinians. The Palestinians’ options at the polls are currently bad or worse. Abstaining is allowing others to choose worse without your resistance.
Republicans are counting on the indifference of the left.
Inaction is action. Vote in November.
If elected, our problems are much bigger than one orange fascist traitor cunt.
Sorry, not American. Can an indicted person that have been plead guilty run for office there? It makes no sense to me.
Yes. Otherwise, a bad guy like Trump could push to have his political enemies convicted of random stuff just to put them in prison and keep them from running against him. Like Putin and Navalny, for example.
Of course the author of the law assumed that Americans would never be stupid enough to put an obvious, convicted felon and fraud into the presidency, but here we are.
