There’s an election in November, so, no.
If Trump gets what Project 2025 wants him to have, SCOTUS will repeal term limits, and he’ll challenge the results of the next election using his party-loyal Article F State Department.
He’ll be “President” the same way Putin is “President.”
"but at least we didn't have to hear biden stutter anymore, so it's worth it" - crowd that wants their grandchildren growing up under project 2025.
What do you mean "there's an election in November?"
The results of that contest have been written on the wall at least as far back as 2015 when the DNC put us on this course.
The incumbent won't step down, so the choice is between Trump or the guy that is expected to lose, which isn't a choice at all.
Yea, we should definitely give up. Might as well buy a gun and pack it in right buddy?
I support a wide range of resistance tactics and I'm not about to tell people to give up, but I will say don't organize online. Do it in person and leave your phone in another room..
I love getting downvoted for telling people to organize and not to let the FBI listen in. /s
This country is so doomed.
Literally everything the Left predicted in 2016 is happening right now and you are making fun of it as if it's not that big of a deal.
Cope.
Making fun of it? Wtf are you talking about?
The sarcastic tone?
I was responding to the defeatist tone of your comment. You're basically telling people not to vote, in my eyes, which is bullshit. Voting is the first line and if we can't even do that then we're fucked.
I'm not a defeatist, I'm a realist.
The time for electoralism has passed. Vote if you want, but stop relying on political parties to solve your problems for you. Start organizing locally and taking action to make the world suck less.

Trump was "expected to lose" the 2016 election. Far more than Biden currently is
The 2016 election fell within the margin of error of the polls. Don't act like Hillary was a shoe-in, nobody who was paying attention was surprised after the shit she and the DNC got up to in the primary.
