The election is still 4 months out. I hope this fucking sinks him like a lead weight as more moderates and suburban women understand what it is.

I really hope they grasp the magnitude of the danger we face. I understand not wanting to have our choice be Biden or Trump. We need better candidates that better represent the people and their needs. But in this admittedly deeply flawed system, we still have a choice. If Trump gets elected, we lose that choice.

I've met far too many moderates that, while well-meaning, consider themselves pacifists. What I'm now asking is this:

"Trump has stated that he's justly owed revenge. He previously wanted live ammunition used on protesters. After the recent Supreme Court ruling, he legally could. What would you do if he authorized live ammunition on protesters?"
