As big a threat to the American democracy than any outside force.

Strange times.

No real primary on the democratic side. Anyone wanting to run for president against Harris really couldn't. President Joe Biden was the presumptive nominee and his base was fine with him until he lost the one debate with President Trump. Then all of sudden he is out and no primary or contest to determine who the new nominee would be via debates followed by polling, etc. Just "here is your candidate." Really weird stuff. America deserves better. Yet here we are. 

The debate is a formality. One candidate has kept their word over and over and proven to be beneficial for the country. The proof is in the pudding. The other meanwhile, was the first casualty of the last democratic primary because no one wanted that candidate for president. that same individual has espoused views that America was clearly at odds with during that campaign. Eventually, a vice presidential position was gifted and this person proved why they don't belong in such an important leadership position. There was the small issue of the Afghan pullout and arming terrorists with 80 billion dollars in powerful military weaponry. Even the one major role tasked to this person was a disaster. And now they are saying anything to try to get elected - things that we have known are not true core beliefs and are actually contrary. Just ask Bernie Sanders. America is just supposed to pretend that the last 4 years did not happen?

While I fully expect the debate to be full of mud-slinging, especially conserning phony lawfare related labels, I don't expect anything of actual substance other than lies and flip-flop statements related to oil, crime reform, the border, and more copying from the other candidate. 

The debate is a formality. We know what we are getting with each person. It's not a mystery. The question is, do we want an America that looks like the last 4 years at home and on the world stage? Or do we want a country that looks like it did in the previous admin, both at home and abroad? It's not rocket science.

“One candidate has kept their word over and over and proven to be beneficial for the country.” 

How much bleach does one have to inject to destroy enough brain cells to come to THAT laughably absurd conclusion, along with all the other nonsensical blathering? (Or maybe that was just the script from a contractor for Tenent Media?)

Others have posted facts and stats comparing the two administrations. Anyone paying attention to such things already known this and the choice is clear. Those subjecting themselves to reich-wing propaganda and swallowing it deserve the bad aftertaste.  

Ignorance of electoral law doesn’t stop people from commenting on it. The PARTY chooses its candidates and the primary process (where those citizens declaring membership to a party select DELEGATES to choose that party’s candidate) is handled through each state at specified times. There are no legal mechanisms for any party to run a 2nd primary. 

Strange times in 2020 as well, when, with only 2 caucuses and 2 primaries held, the GOP declared its undying love for heir leader, ignoring those who wanted to vote for their preferred candidate, whomever it might have been - 

>>> In February 2019, the Republican National Committee voted to provide undivided support to Trump. Several states canceled their primaries and caucuses.

As for Vice Presidents, why didn’t Trump choose Mike Pence again? Did Trump make a mistake the first time? Or have Republicans given up on the American process for selecting its leaders and instead turned to erecting a gallows to (de)select their VP, and engage in an insurrection to thwart the will of The People and install the mob’s choice? 

Thinking Americans already know the answer to this. The truly pathetic state of the GOP and its drive to authoritarian rule is a shameful stain on American history. Hopefully this election will help to put this ugly chapter behind us. 

P.S. A long and clear GOP path:

A debate at this point is unnecessary, Harris destroyed the cost of living in 4 years, we don't need another 4 years of that.

Trump was better at literally every marker that impacts the majority of the USA population.

MAGA.

Fortunately no. The world needs for him to be put in a home.

It’s almost cruelty that Jill and co. Haven’t set up Joe in a nursing facility already. There has been FAR too much embarrassment from the guy. Not only can he not ambulate safely, but routinely spaces out and needs handholding and direction for the most basic things. Recently have you seen the looks on the Italian and Canadian prime ministers faces as Joe basically disappeared without going anywhere? The guy needs to retire and get consistent care. He may only be a little older than Trump, but he’s declined so much faster. Meanwhile trump is holding his own and then some with master manipulators and fast talkers like Logan Paul. 

You may not like Trump, but he is clearly the far more sound candidate than Biden - and pretty much everyone else in that side of the aisle.
