If we vote, we win.
The "my vote doesn't matter" or "the election is rigged" just discourages people from voting, and kind of makes us look whiny.
And it certainly not my intention to discourage any Democrat from voting.

(13,903 posts)Trump supposedly still has to leave if not re-elected...but I think that sick f**k thinks he should be an American Putin.
Re-elected term after term so he milk the presidency for cash, power and most of all, feed the malignant narcissist's pathology.

(2,955 posts)I mean, we can still, you know, vote them all out. Unless our power to vote is taken, it's not a dictatorship. What we have is a bunch of corrupt assholes who need to be voted out next election.

(63,849 posts)regime has so much disdain for the American people it's sickening. If tRump bad mouthed his cult members or even better said something like "the American people are stupid I can tell them anything and they believe me" on a live mike.
Would it get enough people pissed off? I can't remember who he called goons and babies.
Would people realize then (not Du'ers) that he is a danger to all of us?
