Ok, am I crazy, or is the US screwed?? I'm almost sure that Putin conducted a successful coup with Trump. Trump gave important secrets to Putin and shared the identities of several CIA spies working in Russia. He also appointed 3 Supreme Court justices that are loyal to him. Who knows what else Trump did that is not public knowledge. Biden was our last chance, but I don't think we're going to survive.
Vote and encourage others to do the same
US is only screwed if Trump gets back into power. The Supreme Court Justices can cause a lot of disruption but it's not enough by itself.
That's the thing. If the screwed is dependent on one person not becoming president, then the country is screwed already. It is not supposed to be like that. One person having the capacity to destroy a country is not okay. That is why it's so scary to me.
I wonder to what level agencies started to try and not share information with him or anyone else in their clan.
Wait til they hear about what the climate is up to LOL.
I kinda find it ridiculous that there's 300 million+ of you and you guys can't do better than senile old fart or orange senile Russian-ball-fondling old fart. Where are all the 30, 40, hell 50 year Olds?
I'm not sure any of it could be classified as "coup", though arguing terminology can be a pointless rabbit hole. Trump won "fair and square", since fair and square by design means not necessarily winning the popular vote. The appointments weren't due to removing other judges, but due to needing to fill spots.
Ironic that you decry us for not doing better while you simultaneously fall for propaganda.
What propaganda, exactly? Did I say anything that wasn't true? Is it about Biden, who's 81 and really should be letting a more age-representative president take the spotlight? Is it about Trump, who's been just about the most divisive president we've seen in recent history, not to mention an utter buffoon?
Or is it about the Coup thing, of which I happen to know a bit about since I've lived in a country that has actually had coups, the most recent one being sponsored by the US?
Biden is old, but calling him "senile" is a lie.
The fact that old people reliably vote and young people have been bad at it, pushes for older and more conservative politicians than would be representative of the population.
I’ve read some things about turnout getting better along younger people, so that’s encouraging.
Inshallah, Buttigieg will be our ~~48th~~ 47th President.
But Biden was indeed my first choice in the Primaries. Loved Booker, but he didn't really have a shot.
And you made the right choice by voting for Biden, it's just ridiculous that that had to be the case.
