The pledges to oil executives came a day before Senate Democrats launched a probe of Trump seeking $1 billion in donations from the oil industry.

      Don’t forget downballot in your state races either. The supreme court basically made partisan gerrymandering legal, and racial gerrymandering legal if you can pretend it’s just partisan gerrymandering. So this could be the last slew of elections where you may have a fair shot in many states.

      Get your guns before November.

      You’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

        Here’s the thing: if it comes down to private individuals and guns, we’ve already lost.

        Way better off giving that money to Democratic campaigns or spending it on travel to a swing district or state to canvass voters.

          I think what @ThePyroPython is trying to say is that if Trump wins, the odds of oppression by the alt-right are pretty high.

          Keep in mind that Biden got put into office because of people in states willing to do the right thing.

          Many Secretaries of States have already indicated that they won’t certify elections if they feel that there may have been issues and we all know that they are going to be “issues” if Biden wins.

          We’re literally, not figuratively, facing the death of democracy this November.

        It’s funny because Democrats and lefties are probably the much less violent side of the political coin.
