Its amazing to see how fast and far the democratic party managed an absolute loss around into a nearly absolute win. Same for Trump and co conspirators, about a mo th ago they were on for an absolute win and now he's continuously cutting the tree branch he's sitting on...
Just do not be mistaken though. I fully expect Harris to win with a land slide but that matters not. Various states WILL sabotage the election z refuse to respect the democratic votes from the people, and just send Republicans as winners for that state. Trump too will try another coup, and I think it's not unfair to expect that coup to be bigger and more violent than the January 6 coup. Come to think of it, it's insane that trump still hasn't been convicted for that one.
Vote like your life depends on it. When you've solved that problem, then you get to dealing with Donnie's second go at an attempted coup. One thing at a time.
"You solve the first problem. Then you solve the next. And the next. And if you solve enough problems then you get to go home." - Mark Watney.
Absolutely
Of course he will try.
One of the differences this time is that he doesn't have the power to delay the deployment of defensive resources.
And nobody is dismissing it as impotent bluster this time.
The problem is how do you handle house representatives that refuse to do their job in good faith? The rules say that the president is determined a certain way, what do you do when those rules are used to defy the will of the people? They've already caused presidents who have lost the popular vote.
The defensive resources will come into play after that question is answered and it's impossible at this point to tell which side will benefit from them.
I just hope that there aren't many people that oppose Trump on principle but ultimately think that if the rules say "hand over the country to the fascists", that's the right thing to do.
Yeah but what he does have now is a shit loaf of people who now have the jobs of the people who stopped falsifying election results on the state level last time. Most of then either moved on or relented under the pressure of threats. John Oliver had a nice piece about it some two years back
It's gratifying to see President Biden quoted in an interview saying that he doesn't think that The Biggest Loser will concede peacefully. It may be his job to order a former President detained for national security reasons, probably at Guantanamo Bay, so he's inaccessible to the insurgent mob trying to free him.
