Just a thought: How about we stop treating Trump like a former President and instead treat him as the enormous threat to our national security and democracy that he truly is? — And most importantly, under no damn circumstances should we “soften our tone” toward this traitor!

@Strandjunker

I have a solution. It's called the Electoral College.

#PackSwingStates or democracy dies.

@BlueWall
Uh, the stupid electoral college is why he was forced on us in the first place after Hillary beat him by 3 million votes...

@BluesHarp

And it might happen again. The only State Electors in play are in Pennsylvania Wisconsin Michigan Arizona

Move to one and help out

@BlueWall
LOL. I like it here in Colorado. I'm not going to pack up and move to some useless red state simply to further the interests of a system of voting that came about because of slavery. It's time to rid ourselves of the EC. Way past time actually. We are not a democracy at all.

@BluesHarp

I see you have zero understanding of how the EC works. The Electoral College is a fact until a constitutional amendment is passed getting rid of it. I'll let you research how that happens but I'll give you a hint: it won't.

First of all Colorado is one of the only states that migration has turned Blue therefore demonstrating the power that migration can produce in Swing States if, as our plan explains, Democratic Party voters LEAVE Red States and move to them.

@BlueWall
I perfectly understand how the EC works. I also perfectly understand its history and you should do some research if you don't understand that. It came from slavery. Plain and simple. I don't vote in presidential elections because my vote has not mattered once in the past 20 years.

Do you even understand that there would be no "swing states" if it were not for the EC. The EC divides us into this state against state mentality. So stupid!

@BluesHarp

omigod

See folks? I can't even propose this powerful strategy to young folks because all they want to do is stamp their feet about reality.

Hey bud just keep voting in Colorado!

@BlueWall
Hey bud, maybe you shouldn't tell other people how to live their lives. And BTW, I am 63 years old.

Do you not understand that the EC discriminates against urban minorities in favor of rural whites? Look up the statistics. Almsot 90% of the people who voted for Donnie Numbnuts in 2016 were white. I can back that up with proof if you need it.

Slavery no longer exists. Why do we still use a system of voting for president that came from those days?

@BluesHarp

The Electoral College is a fact. And any attempt to circumvent it will be unanimously shot down by SCOTUS.

The undemocratic nature of not only the EC, but also the Senate, lifetime judicial appointments, presidential pardons, limiting the House to 435 members, etc, is IRRELEVANT regarding the way power is attained right now!

If you think things are undemocratic now, just wait until Trump expands SCOTUS in his next term.

I post for people who don't want that to happen!

@BlueWall
I don't want that to happen but there isn't much that I can do. If Donnie Numbnuts "wins" again, it will most likely not be because he got a majority of votes. And yes, our political system is very corrupt, top to bottom. I have pretty much given up at this point in time because unless people are really going to go out and try to change the system, we will continue to get poor candidates like the old man vs. the con man.

We all need to protest for change!

@BluesHarp

The best way to protest is for all those currently marching around Milwaukee to get apartments together and register to vote in the powerful Swing State of Wisconsin

@BlueWall
Do you honestly believe that people are just going to abandon their lives so that they can move to swing states? Do you know how expensive moving is? Not only that it would require quitting jobs and finding a new place to live. That is just not feasible at all.

@BluesHarp

With remote working technologies and cars and freeways it's pretty easy, compared to the millions of poor black folks who moved with none of those things and no money in the early 20th century, voted and gave us all the civil rights era. Have you thanked them?

28 million households move every year, 5-6 million across state lines. Quite a few people are taking advantage of these modern abilities to simply move out of expensive regions.

Conservatives are largely moving South

@BluesHarp

Grumpy old bastards moving South, leaves the Great Lakes region, home to three powerful Swing States, and climate change resilience, affordable costs of living,and ample supplies of water, a no brainier way to protect liberal democracy.

These states in this region also have critical Senate races. How lucky is that?

@BlueWall
The Supreme Court should be presented with a case that says that the EC violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution, because that is true. Unfortunately the existence of the EC also comes from the Constitution so there is an internal conflict (inconsistency) in the Constitution. Something that just does not smell right at all.

@BluesHarp

And there's nothing to be done until they die off and we can get some constitutional amendments going.

The real reason we have an Electoral College: to protect slave states

“In a direct election system, the South would have lost every time.”

Vox

@BluesHarp

Dude, every flaw in our Constitution is the result of appeasing the slave owners!

Otherwise they wouldn't sign! And we'd be owned by Britain right now, like Canada, which in hindsight would be preferable.

@BlueWall
I have definitely thought about moving to Canada!

@BluesHarp

Again, Colorado is a model of how migration flipped a state, unlike all the states around you which have gotten more Red, also through the migration of freedom loving anti society morons.

Colorado had a crunchy Boulder scene around which to build a Democratic Party stronghold.

Stay there. This is mostly for young folks voting Blue in Red States, in futility.

@Strandjunker

The SCOTUS gave the president immunity. There's no reason Biden can't have his AG arrest the motherfucker and throw him in GITMO as the threat to America that he is. After all, a president conferring with his AG is all part of his official duties.

@Strandjunker
💯

Trump is old, weak, uninformed, criminal and a nepobaby. There is nothing inevitable or invincible about him. He has ONE strength, which is his conman skill to command a cult following.

We unify behind the candidate we've got - or we will lose. Not because he's stronger. But because we're divided.

Focus on his weaknesses. Unify. Win!

@TCatInReality @Strandjunker

I would never not vote for Biden. If the Dems nominate a goat, I’d vote for it.
But it doesn’t mean I’m happy about it, especially against a fascist like Trump.

Because of Trump’s criminal activities, he never should’ve been eligible to run in the first place.

It doesn’t make any sense & it pisses me off. Unfortunately I don’t see Biden as the strongest possible candidate. I don’t think he’s well and it shows. But here we are.

@Aleggra @Strandjunker
Exactly right!

France defeated the right by unifying - even through it wasn't the ideal coalition.

Same here. If you can vote, you're old enough to #VoteBiden because it's the right choice - even if he's not your preferred candidate.

@TCatInReality @Strandjunker

Of course I’m voting for Biden. That’s not my point. If I had a crystal ball & knew that Biden without a doubt will win, I wouldn’t care if Joe forgot his name & can barely count to 10 because I’d know that other Dems including Harris can step in & keep our democracy intact. But I don’t have a crystal ball. None of us do. And my fear that trump will completely destroy our democracy becomes overwhelming terrifying.

@Aleggra @Strandjunker
I'm agreeing

We support Biden because he's the candidate we've got and we can only win by unifying.

@Strandjunker
Dems just do not seem to get it. Biden cancels ads. Dem Gov praises trump supporter killed by repub as a hero. Trump CAUSED ALL of this shit. He raises his tiny fist pump, screaming Fight! Fight! Where are our dem voices screaming HE CAUSED IT! Come on guys, President Biden. Speak some truth to the repub lies/spin. Do it.

@JudyOlo @Strandjunker

They won't because they are fascists too. They're in on it, and their response to the Trump assassination attempt is proof. Enabling Trump to legitimize fascism under the guise of compassion shows that Democrats are fundamentally evil, fascistic, and to some extent allied with Trump.

@Strandjunker Yes! But also, how about we also start impeaching his judicial appointments when they're bad.
@Strandjunker
Keep pointing out that his wingman used to be Jeffrey Epstein.
@Strandjunker
Media treats him this way. But those outside of the maga circle treat him as a criminal.
@joelpomales

@Strandjunker

A drone strike on Mara Lago?
I don't know. We're acting like this is new. This is America. It's always been like this. The American dream is only believable if you are asleep. We'll survive it.

@Strandjunker Is there any way to stop him from getting national security briefings now?

They just made it legal for him to keep our nuclear secrets in his bathroom and sell them to anyone he wants

@Strandjunker FELON45 is a criminal. He was a criminal when he played president. He is a treasonous criminal now. He is aided by a corrupt SCROTUS.

@Strandjunker Lets just say the appropriate reaction in that case is criminalized at best...

If you don't mind, I'd like to quietly fill in the blank before his name with a few words: rapist, fraudster, Epstein Pedophile Air Passenger (frequent flier).

Didn't we try that last Saturday?
