Many voters seem fooled that Trump 47 would be a bland replay of Trump 45, not the authoritarian nightmare he actually plans.

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what’s actually going on.

      I mean, at this point that’s what it boils down to. On one side you have a milquetoast shit sandwich, on the other side full fledged christo fascism. The choice is pretty clear.

          To be fair the christo fascist will absolutely not stop supplying weapons to the genocidal country. He might even increase the output.

              Not a great choice indeed but one they’ll have to make. The US is pretty flawed and it’s showing more and more each year, with no sign of improvement.

          1. Unlike a lot of Democrats, he’s actually not a shit sandwich. I know, I’m as surprised as anybody.
          2. I have bad news for you about what Trump is gonna do. He’s not gonna have to supply anybody engaged in genocide or be “complicit” in it or present any kind of argument about whether him being rude to Netanyahu deserves any credit or anything, because he’s just going to be the one genociding. We already had concentration camps under Trump, and they have a detailed plan for how to take it much further this time.

              Is this like a new version of the Shaggy Defense or something 😃

              A: Shit sandwich genocide and literally nothing else
              B: Shit sandwich genocide
              A: No idea what you’re talking about bro, that’s nothing to do with what I said

              I know when I have spare time, I like to go pay attention to elections in some other country and spend a lot of time talking to people in that country about who they should vote for and why. It’s just enjoyable for me; it’s cool to meet someone else who feels the same way.
