    I honestly wonder what I’d do if a non-maga candidate replaced trump. Not vote for them, but I might vote for a third party at that point. Unless something changes, it wouldn’t much matter; my voter registration is in a place that is very comfortably red so I’m not going to be able to change that.

      You can still affect local elections, which arguably will have a greater impact on your day to day life anyway.

          I vote for whom I want in the primaries

          Boomer Democrat voters in the 2020 primaries: That’s cute you think you have a voice. We’ve already chosen a geriatric establishment white man.

        I live in a similar red area and democrats need to come back here for the local change to happen. More than half of local seats only have a Republican option. There are almost as many Libertarians running as democrats. The democrats gave up on way too many rural areas.

      Trump isn’t much different than any generic Republican. Bush was far worse than him.

          Damn Trump didn’t lie about WMD’s in Iraq killing >1 million people but he’s a convicted sex offender! That’s so much worse!

            Treason Trump supports War Criminal Putin whose killed many millions in Ukraine. Bush was terrible too but historians rank Convicted Felon and Rapist Treason Trump as the absolute worst for his neofascist attacks on democracy and the rule of law and Treason Trump will still be ranked dead last 50 years from now and 100 years from now.

            How sad is it when being a certified rapist is not even Treason Trump’s worst crime?
