If we survive the next 4 months in one piece

It's a true testament to the resilience of our democracy. If the Republicans cared one bit about this country they'd impeach Trump now or invoke the 25h amendment. He's the greatest threat to our national security since 9/11.

Hopefully people who don't normally follow politics tuned in last night and saw first hand how much Trump’s mental state has deteriorated in the last 4 years. The Americans who ignore this crisis and don't vote are sleepwalking towards fascism.

Is this going to get Trump re-elected?

I couldn't sleep last night and woke up panicked like it's 11/10/16 again.

What are my fellow Democrats gut feeling about this? Is the next 45 days going to be about a single issue: Roe v Wade and the open Supreme Court seat? Because if it is I'm afraid Trump is going to be able to pull off another Electoral College "win."

The way McConnell announced 90 minutes after she was dead that he's going to fill her seat is despicable. I'm starting to see why most people hate politics and avoid the news. Following this never-ending chaos is depressing. .

The press should ask the GOP

Why do you think that more people voting is unfair to Republicans?

Trump has come out and said why. But I'd love to hear Republican leaders admit it on camera.

"Reopening" In Person Voting

If it is true that the worst of the Covid-19 is behind us and the country should re-open does that mean on November 3rd the majority of us will be going to our usual polling place to vote in person?

Just curious whether people think in person voting helps Biden's chances of winning? Heard milennials are less likely to vote by mail because they never use the post office.

I still hope every state gives people the option to vote by mail. Especially with the possibility we might get a second wave of Covid cases once winter starts.

Never realized how long 4 years feels like

When people (Republicans) elect unqualified, cruel sociopaths like Trump to a 4 year term. The last 3 1/2 years has felt like a decade. I live in Kentucky and Matt Bevin aka Diet Trump's 4 years as Governor was an absolute nightmare. Thankfully we now have an awesome Governor named Andy Beshear. Most Kentuckians feel like we just got out of a 4 year abusive relationship.

I see a lot of parallels between our recent Governors race and the upcoming Presidential election. Like Beshear, Joe Biden would return this country to a sense of normalcy. And we'd definitely appreciate that after 4 years of abuse and neglect from Donald Trump.

Hopefully we can pull this off in November. Unfortunately just like Bevin I'm sure Trump would do anything to win reelection and won't concede without a fight.

I'll feel lucky to survive 4 years of Trump. Especially since his incompetence is literally getting people killed. I think Joe Biden and the woman he chooses to be his running mate are our last hope fto save our democracy.

Trump's Dementia Symptoms

Our country is being run into the ground by a very sick man who badly needs help. His family should take him to see a neuropsychologist immediately.

Who else feels like this nightmare was inevitable?

That one day "President" Trump would break America and destroy our quality of life like every business he's ever started.

From the moment Trump got elected I feared he would inadvertently start World War 3 because of his ego, inexperience and stupidity. I had no idea we'd end up going to war with a viral pandemic. But I feel like it was inevitable that Trump would encounter a global crisis that he would make a hundred times worse because of his incompetence.

Many Americans survived the last 3 years of the Trump presidency thinking "what's the worst that can happen?" or "nothing he does is effecting me personally."
I mean seriously, a month ago many Americans were ready to give this unstable sociopath another 4 years because the economy was doing well and a fear of America becoming a socialist country.

I'd never tell Trump voters, 3rd party voters or people who didn't vote in 2016 "I told you so." But we Democrats did try to warn people just how dangerous Trump would be. Where we are now brings back all the PTSD of that awful 2016 election night. Another devastating reminder that if Hillary was President we wouldn't be in this mess.

Omg Biden attacked during speech

No way protesters should get that close to him on stage. I immediately thought of Robert Kennedy in 1968. Thank god security quickly intervened.

He definitely needs to build up his security. As a former VP he should already have Secret Service protection.

The Anti-Dairy people need to chill.

How many Trumpsters actually buy stocks?

Trump’s base says they still support him because the stock market is doing well. The pundits say if the market crashes Trump’s base will abandon him. I call bullshit.

Most of Trump's base doesn't play the stock market, have a portfolio and most likely have no 401K and are living paycheck to paycheck.

They support him unconditionally because he's a cruel racist who makes life miserable for brown skinned people and hates the same people they hate.

That's why Trump got elected in the first place. It wasn't about the economy or stock market which were already doing well under Obama. It was because Trump promised to build a wall, ban muslims and stop brown skinned immigrants from entering the country.

Honestly the strong economy is just an excuse for Republicans (aka Trumpublicans) to keep voting for this white nationalist and his cruel policies. If a recession hits before November they'll still vote to re-elect him.

The media needs to get real and stop trying to normalize this Grand Wizard and his cult of followers.

Prediction for tonight's debate

It will be an hour long barrage of questions about Medicare For All and how Bernie is going to pay for it. Just like every other debate we've had the past year.

A second hour will be spent questioning candidates about their criminal justice record and accusations of racism.

Basically another night spent arguing over the details of a healthcare bill that Mitch McConnell will never allow to become law. While portaying all our candidates as not caring about police violence towards the black community. And no questions about our racist President and his white supremacist policies who has no healthcare plan and is in court trying to end Obamacare.

Hopefully I'm wrong but the MSM is oh so predictable.
