These are truly sick individuals. 's crimes are 's fault. Trump's trial is 's fault. Trump's conviction is Biden's fault. And now, the threats to the safety of the jurors by Trump and his supporters are Biden's fault. I cannot wrap my head around such brazen and absurd projection, and abandonment of objective reality. These are, unquestionably, the most dishonest people to ever walk the Earth.

Trump raised a record-breaking $34.8 million the day after being convicted of election interference. That's nearly double their previous largest single-day online donation amount.

29.7% were new donors.

This is not a drill. He will get reelected unless people on the left step up to oppose him. And makes it clear how much worse things can get, both domestically and abroad.

May 31, 2016 – Donald Trump attacked Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge who presided over the Trump University fraud case, saying that Curiel’s assignment to the case represented "an absolute conflict because the judge was “of Mexican heritage.” “I’m building a wall,” said Trump, “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

A vote isn't an endorsement of all of a candidate's policies. It's a choice you make between available options--all of which may be disappointing--to move the world in the direction you want.

Voting isn't choosing a life partner to love. It's more like choosing between cancer or chemo, and we should be happy chemo is our alternative.

It's time to cure our nation, and no matter what you think of Biden, don't help cancer win!

Every election. Every race. Every Democrat.

He added later: “I think this court will do the right thing, because they see the abuse of the system right now.” [I think THIS court will do the wrong thing, they abuse the system constantly]

The GOP is simply reprehensible. I don't understand how any citizen can vote for any GOP candidate. The entire party is claiming the Trump fraud trial was a political hit job. The "law and order" party wants neither. (1/6)

Consider Project 2025. Ask yourself if that's the world you want for yourself and your kids. Then vote like lives depend on it.

outside the Manhattan courthouse aren't taking the 34 verdicts well. One was just screaming "FUCK YOU!", while his buddy told everyone that their children were all dead, and some woman screamed, "1776!!!" over and over again. I really hope has these people on some list.

“SNAPPED” The Biden-Harris ad that Robert De Niro made, and which is WHY he was in NYC at the Trump trial in the first place. YouTube, Google and most searches have buried it.

Please watch and pass it on.

May 30, 2020 – Trump condemned people across the country who protested the killing of George Floyd, threatening them with “vicious dogs” and “ominous weapons.” In a tweet he wrote, “Tonight, I understand, is MAGA NIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE???” He later suggested he didn’t mean to incite any violence. “I was just asking,” he said. “By the way, they love African-American people. They love black people.”

Finally, a New York Times article where the "How this is bad for Biden" sentiment really rings true. Voting third party or not voting at all may feel like the "principled" thing to do. But those choices only benefit the ChristoFascist right wing.

Cast that third-party ballot, and you just "put a quarter in your ass 'cause you played yourself."*

*Sorry, I can't remember the name of the rapper or the song that's from, but it sure is appropriate.

How open primaries and ranked-choice voting can help break partisan gridlock.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-open-primaries-and-ranked-choice-voting-can-help-break-partisan-gridlock

More than 80% of congressional members come from "non-competitive" districts where they are elected in primaries by 8% of registered voters. If you think your choices in the general elections are bad. You NEED to vote in the primaries, too. That's where the real choices are made.

What the #OhioRepublicans are demanding isn’t “compromise,” but #extortion. Again, there is a clean bill ready to go in the state house, allowing #Biden’s name to be added to the #ballot. It’s a very simple matter to pass that bill, without any additional provisions. #Republicans are simply taking advantage of the situation in order to advance their own interests to the detriment of Ohio #voters.

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.
