MODERATORS
Under Trump:
Never being able to vote again.
Martial law instituted across the country denying people of their First Amendment rights.
The abandonment of our allies.
Loss of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency
Political assassinations across the board to insure those of the fascist party remain in power.
Loss of civil rights for those not white and rich
End of various government services designed to keep us safe from contaminated food, water, and air
End of various government services for Healthcare, social safety nets, veterans services.
Extra police funding and broad immunity for police violence
Far more restrictive laws
Backtracking of current progress such as cannabis, marriage equality, interracial marriage
Way way more people locked up because republican programs are hated across the board
Massive tax cuts for billionaires and the middle class finally being broken so we slide into a pseudo feudal system
Unions being outlawed because fascists love that shit.
Anyone of a skin color not the shade of pale parchment being rounded up, thrown in camps, or deported.
End of birthright citizens so you as well get to enjoy the concentration camps until they kill you or deport you (eventually they get to outright killing because they are Nazis. It's what they do)
Did I mention not being able to vote, protest, or voice your opinions without being shot, poisoned, or assassinated?
Yes, but what about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good?!
What about not compromising so fucking early. There are other establishment candidates that'd be much stronger.
Which ones and do they want to run?
Buttigieg and Whitmer seem to have wide party support.
Are they willing to run? Because otherwise it doesn't matter. And I have seen no indication that they are.
Also, Buttigieg used to work for McKinsey and they are fucking evil. I'd rather have either Harris or Biden than that.
As a historic non-D voter who is switching this election, I would enthusiastically take Joe over Buttigieg, considering I'm from a neighboring town to his former mayorship. Pete was very unpopular in South Bend and he's been very unpopular as Secretary of Transportation. Dude sucks and I actually think senile Biden is a better option.
Trump is a piece of human waste. That he is the top candidate of the GOP says a lot about the abysmal condition America is in.
