    With young voter turnout already so low, and the way Gen Z is killing it with anti war TikToks… Its a fucking death knell. The youth need to turn out, and this type of rhetoric is not going to help do that.

      No one who wants Trump will change their minds to Biden, there is no point in even trying for their votes. The youth vote, the Muslim vote, the African American vote are needed to win and nothing turns off those three groups like supporting the crushing of a powerless group by a larger technologically superior force supported by your tax dollars.

        Honestly. At this point I’m tempted to vote Trump just to watch this whole corrupt system crumble. It has to end.

          Crumbling to the far-right would not be an improvement. “Different but worse” should not be a desirable outcome.

          It’s not going to crumble, the fact that you think voting for him will do that, means you have fallen for propaganda, it’s going to stay pretty much the same, but just with worse civil liberties, and an emboldened fascist religious crowd, which funny enough are more docile to the government.

          I’d rather you not vote for a platform that would likely make my existence as a trans person illegal. Thanks.

          Oh, corruption is going to thrive under Trump. Did you not notice that last time around? Did you not notice the fake charities, the tax payer money funneled into Mar-a-Lago, the hundreds of millions going to Trump PACs, the money going to the Trump hotel in Washington DC, all the corruption and bribes and schemes?

          And the fun thing is that now that Trump knows how to do all of this, how to funnel millions into his own pocket, a second Trump presidency is going to be corruption on steroids.

          The only thing that’s going to crumble are democratic norms and human rights in the United States.
