With an incumbent able to cut deals, like Reagan or Obama, then waiting for the next electoral opportunity to force change is possible is all that is available. When the President acts like a despot, as is unique to Trump among America's Presidents, a waiting game may be completely inadequate because that despot will consolidate greater power and entrench the position of himself or his successors.Like I said, a my way or the high way style of leadership wouldn't have delegated authority to the states. I figure I'll be on the side fighting for freedom as you're on the side submitting to fascism. As far as Biden, it's obvious to me that Biden's not up to the task and I think it's obvious that the Democrats as a whole are pretty pathetic at this point as well. All I can say is you're on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of America as well. If Biden is elected President, Biden will be the last President of the United States as we know it today. Your issue is that we all have gotten to know the Democratic side too well to simply go along with like the Republicans of old. In short, we don't have to and we can break with traditions as easy as the Democrats.
It's freedom or fascism, Classic X'er.
Delegating authority to the states was exactly the wrong thing, and if Trump loses the election it will be because of this. It is actually MORE authoritarian because it's neo-liberalism, laissez faire, which lets things go wrong and authorities to fester. Ha ha, freedom indeed! Freedom to die; freedom for people to shoot people, freedom for greed to run rampant and destroy Nature and our lives. It is amazing you have things so reversed. It is so obvious that if Trump is "re-elected" (selected, more likely, as in 2000), he will be the last President of the United States as we know it today. But we won't go along as we have done so often, so much in the past, enabling and coddling you greed and racism enablers. You claim constantly that you're opposed to government, but you and your side is a booster of the kind of authoritarian government YOU LIKE, such as "law and order" and allowing police murders and drug wars and real wars and shouting patriotic symbols for your guys as they run rampant over all our genuine human rights.
Bill Maher sure made that plain!
