The electorial college is a threat to democracy.

But neither political party wants to hand that control over to voters.

We need a critical mass of progressive politicians in office before we can fix the system, which is why they’re everyone else’s biggest political enemy

The funny thing is the electoral college was designed to counter exactly this event. In the case an absolute tyrant is going to get voted in, the electoral college is supposed to be the last chance to challenge it. But with the way the GOP is going, ain’t no one gonna challenge anything.

As they say, the devil will come bearing a cross wrapped in the American flag.

The GOP has shown, and proven, they will use any and all means necessary, including violence, to gain power. This isn’t theoretical anymore.

I’m so tired of my family members and other people that identify as “centralist” saying that both sides are bad.

No…only one side has used violence to overthrow an election. And that side’s political leadership said it was “normal political discourse”.

If both sides are the same, then you should be upset that “both sides” are violent.

Well, both sides are bad. Your argument is Trump is far worse. Which as an American you should feel that way. Because Trump would be fucking horrible for America. But if you were Palestinian, you’d definitely prefer Trump as he might pull support from Israel.

Thus, the problem today isn’t that there is a good guy, it’s choosing which genocide you support. Do you support the genocide of Palestinians or Ukrainians. Either way, you get to vote for genocide. Clearly the US is a shining example of democracy.

Half the GOP wants to turn Gaza to glass. You can’t seriously think Trump would be better for Palestinians.
