Then find a more effective one. Because what we have now isn't working.

A bloody coup?

Hold the election and economy hostage to get them to start working for us, instead of fleecing us like sheep. Sooner or later it's going to get bad enough that we won't have any other choice. If enough people die, or leave the country, there won't be an economy left, because republicans are trying hard to not let anyone new into the country.

We literally have a virus ripping through the country, and they're talking about a hundred thousand deaths or more, yet they're flooding corporations with money and telling people to go back to work.

Trump did not make his own presidency possible anymore then any lunatic fringe candidate made his own presidency possible.  You kind made the trump presidency possible.

The country is in such bad shape that most voters will vote for anyone who runs on changing the system, rather than carrying the status quo. I'm just far too disgusted, and angry, at what goes on in politics. We need a real, valid, leftist party, full of people who give us reasons to vote for them, instead of just against someone else.

If you need to have a reason to vote but don’t have one, you never deserved to vote.    The reason to vote is it is your job, like it or not.   If your don’t show up to work, you don’t deserve your job. And you get fired.

If Sanders can suspend his bitter old man routine for a few months and actively support Biden’s candidacy, Biden should win in a landslide. If not, four more years of the current buffoon.

Then I'll just quit politics. I didn't pay much attention to it for a lot of my life, and I think I'll be able to cope better if I go back to just focusing on my next of the woods. maybe instead of president I'll just worry more about who the mayor of my city is, and stop there.

Also I'm sure Bernie will support Biden, just like he supported Hillary, and his movement will continue to stagnate.

Choose a decent president USA plz. Since it affects the rest of the world.

There are none available at the moment. Wish I could, though.

Even if trump is dust tomorrow, it would be but a teetering and temporary respite from worsening symptoms of a cancer that has been growing since 1964 and has Been metastasizing since 1994.  Roughly half the country is an sickening field of overlapping, grotesque, aggressive moral and ideological tumors.    Cut trump off, and all that field of tumors will still remain and continued to grow.

The rest of the world, or the part of it that cares for much of the rest of the world,  If it were to deserve better, had better unite to cut the US down in size until it’s antics would be but a topic of jokes rather than anxiety.
