    Yes it does matter; millions of people will die if Trump wins a second term. Don’t lie to our face by claiming it doesn’t matter.

      Probably. And if the US political establishment actually manages to dig out a competent fascist, many, many more than that will die or have their lives destroyed (which has never been an unusual thing in the US at all - or anywhere the US does “foreign policy”).

      Your problem isn’t Trump. There’s a lot more (and much viler) where he came from. Your problem is the political establishment that allows his existence - will they be allowing you to vote on that any time soon?

        The problem is a contingent of poorly educated small brained white trash who very incorrectly believe trump can help them out of their sorry economic conditions (in fact he actually helped make them poorer). The problem is lack of education and lack of humanity that is very evident in the responses posted on this forum.l

          Oh… so you are placing the blame for the failure of your faux-democratic capitalism on white people who have the least economic power of all white people in the US?

          I wonder… if we were to look at the socio-economic background of the average alt-right supporter - what would we find, liberal?

          Your cognitive dissonance is palpable.

      Trump has plainly stated he will destroy anyone who doesn’t cast a vote for him this time around. If that isn’t frightening, you need to check your pulse.

          Well according to recent articles in USA Today and the local Tribune, we do have the votes now. The current polling shows Biden way ahead among the popular votes. We are entitled to everyone of them, thanks for agreeing with me on that.
