@GlennMG Can American #democracy be saved just by voting against the convicted corrupt misogynistic serial-liar/rapist/thief #Trump?
Imho, even if this interim victory could miraculously come to pass, it will take more than exercising one's #electoral #rights to turn tis wretched #plutocracy back into an exemplary democracy - removing #moneypolitics is numero uno on the to-do list. #Diversity in political choices away fr tis #binarygame is another. I may not live long enough to see it achieved!😂
