    Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.

    The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

      Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

      Very well put.

      And might I say, while our country is very young, this is not the first time a potential presidency is called the end of democracy on Earth. In fact that is the narrative almost every election cycle. And that man often wins. And here we still are.

      Trump wins, we still have Bernie, and AOC, and Katie Porter, and Ro Khanna, and Rashida Tlaib.

      What really threatens our democracy is if we lose those people because they aren’t “progressive enough” or because they are “too liberal”.

      Trump winning will be a crucial blow to many people in this country.

      Biden cementing genocide as a good thing that Americans support has already occurred, continues to occur, if he wins, will escalate, and that is a mark on America’s soul that we can’t clean out.

      Trump had 4 years and didn’t do that. Biden had 4 years and did. Will Trump escalate it now? Sure as shit, and that is Biden’s fault.

        Trump winning will be a major blow to everyone in this country. Ironically, the hammer will strike hardest on those who most vehemently support him.
