@@1962LIBBY Good point princess. So are you with the Nazis or Israel? I'm with Israel, not the Nazi-Hamas. Why do you dislike the USA? Can you show me on your doll where Trump hurt your feelings?
@@Repdem Exactly. This country enjoys the cheapest food prices in the world as a percentage of income. I don’t know anyone who boasts that their high school or college-aged kids are picking crops in summer. People screamed like banshees when egg prices “soared” from 10 cents to maybe 30 cents a piece. For some that’s enough to vote against Biden. Scary.
Thanks to both Dana and Al for another important discussion. I still cannot imagine a DJT re-election in 2024. The thought conjures up doomsday scenarios too gut-wrenching to tolerate. However, that's exactly how I felt in 2015 and the DJT administration fulfilled several of those nightmare scenarios.
Do like I did 15 years ago; obtain a second passport in a friendly country. This is becoming increasingly difficult. Next, regardless how much time before your passport expires, get it renewed NOW while Biden is in office and keep it handy should the need to leave the United States for an extended time or permanently. Three, doing all that, if you can purchase place to live outside the United States do that as well. Nowhere on Earth is perfect but the United States is becoming much less so. Get out while you can. My fear is that friendly countries will start to shut the door on Americans going forward.
@kennixox262 Appreciate your thoughts. I have been spending more and more time outside the USA, and trying very hard to limit the time spent observing political events. I find it toxic. However, I remain committed to doing everything within reason to preserving democracy and that includes efforts to end the DJT/MAGA threat. Having studied history, I realize how many people have done so much to make America the amazing success that it is and that won't continue unless the majority remain committed to American ideals and the Constitution. I want the next generations to have what has been gifted to me. It's just so dang hard right now, but maybe that's because I have had it so good by being born at a time when the labors of previous Americans had reached maximum benefit levels. I'll step off the soapbox for now. GL.
I am voting for President Biden. His accomplishments are especially impressive considering trump's sabotage and the Republicons gratuitous obstruction.
@@imperialmotoring3789 Hope this time when you lose you will actually accept the loss, rather than trying to overthrow democracy. You know, like rational, actual freedom loving adults and not like the demented wannabe dictator you will be voting for. Which begs the question, just how demented are you? Let me throw a little math at you, just for fun. Roughly 30% of the voters identify as Republicans. Of that roughly 40% are MAGA hats who would vote for tRump if is was caught in the back of his jet naked with two 13 year olds, one male and one female. (A group that seems to include you since treason doesn’t seem to bother you.) The rest want little to do with him and hope he goes away. 40% of 30% is 18%, the more likely real number of idiots who will vote for tRump again. When he loses…again…he will likely try another attempt at treason. Assuming of course he isn’t already in jail. Which likely will not stop the real idiots from voting for him. But then the US has always had its share of nut cases. And has had more than its share in political office. But wasn’t it tRump said who said, “I love stupid voters.”
Please, Al, stop talking about even the possibility that trump could get elected. Makes me literally sick to my stomach. And I mean "literally" literally.
People need to be motivated to stop that from happening. trump needs to lose by an even larger and completely humiliating margin to deter these people.
So… 70% of Repulicans don’t really mind the REASON Trump is on trial, and trial, and trial >> We’ll just have to hope they get tired of the ‘chaos of it all”? o.O
Thanks, I think. I'm putting my trust in politicians who have yet to raise their voices in unison for Biden. I hear more ideas for strategic action plans from former GOPers than serving Democrats. It's everybody's fight. Get up, y'all

You have to understand US history to understand the electoral college. Large disparities in sizes of states. Originally conceived to protect minority states. Otherwise there would not have been a union at all. Reason why every state gets 2 senators. there electoral,college is just total number of representatives in House plus Senate. Annoying to hear conservatives say it but US is not direct democracy like parliament, but indirect, republican democracy. But you probably already knew this.😂
@@pew6126 Yep, I knew this. That's why I am wondering where your democracy derailed, while the European ones evolved.
