    I would be surprised if he wins. It really feels like his time has passed. But if he does I will use resistbot to its fullest capacity.

    I don’t think there will be a presidency after him if he does though. I think people generally underestimate the violence it will bring.

    Not to mention, they are very used to making poor decisions (see: invasions of Afghanistan & Iraq) and also not fighting back when their elections are stolen or interfered with. (See: Brooks Brother Riot and Trump election)

    Good luck dummies!

        Same, link for anyone interested

        Lettters to reps are valuable, in the “we got ten for and a hundred against” sense, but I would love to have more tangible ways to make a difference.

      Youre right about the violence if he does, but I think its much more likely than anyone wants to admit. I’ll be extremely and pleasently surprised if he doesnt win with the way the wind is blowing

      I wouldn’t be surprised. He doesn’t exactly have the strongest opponent. I like to look at prediction markets to get an idea of what the odds are, and it looks like the gamblers currently think there’s only a 52% chance of a Democrat winning the presidency. But, it’s really hard to tell what will happen right now. Trump, Biden, or both could die before the election. We may begin a recession. OPEC is cutting oil production, with some people hypothesizing it is to influence the U.S. election. Russia and other countries will likely ramp up disinformation like we’ve never seen before, powered by the new AI bots and deepfake technology.
