    “Only extremists are pushing for conflict.”

    This is a disastrously ill-informed perspective. There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to rising fascism. There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to massive wealth inequality.

    Stop scrolling and sit with these facts. Then stop rage-posting and start planning.

      i think you’re focusing on the wrong word. it’s the extremists that are pushing for the conflict, the sane are prepping.

      Bidens why we’re here dude.

      If instead of insisting Biden be the candidate from 2023-2024, if we could have had a real primary, quite literally ALL of this could have been prevented.

        And if they hadn’t put their thumb on the scale for Hillary in 2016, and she hadn’t decided to reach for some imaginary middle razor thin between corporate liberals and fascists, Trump would just be another dumb clown that tried to be a Republican presidential candidate.

          Ok. So you are a cynic for whom no answer is going to be good enough.

          Maybe just don’t share any of your perspectives or opinions in the future then, considering the manner of your opinion did direct harm to our ability to stop Trump when we had the chance?

        Well, I guess we showed those dems what they get. Too bad there won’t be another election. Gosh, wish we all knew that was coming.
