    How many other people are thinking that same thing?

    There is NO wiggle room this election. Not even in blue af California.

    Save your principles for the local elections if you want future elections.

      Haha every election is THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER NO WIGGLE ROOM.

      This election is equally important, or equally unimportant as any other election.

        Bruh. Before 2022 I had bodily autonomy and Trans people could receive their medications with a semblance of reliability. Immigrants weren’t being bussed around the country against their will.

        We have gone way more right, way faster, than I think anyone could have foreseen.

          If you’re referring to the lack of roe v wade, that was the supreme court, not the president, and I’m not aware of any current justices planning to retiring in the next four years. It’s now a states rights issue. Support the state level candidate who is inline with your views.

          Trans people could receive their medications with a semblance of reliability.

          With few exceptions, “trans” adults can do whatever they want. Assuming they’re an American citizen, they have the exact same rights as you and I.

          Immigrants weren’t being bussed around the country against their will.

          You’re right. They were piling up in border states and no one gave a shit until they started getting bussed around.

          We have gone way more right, way faster, than I think anyone could have foreseen.

          These issues are far more complicated than you would pretend.

            Who do you think stacked the Courts in the favor of Republicans? And if you think Trump won’t press it further by expanding the Courts and putting more Conservatives in, you’re high. Additionally, if you don’t think a Republican will push for a nationwide abortion ban, you’re even more high.

            Well, you’re worse than high. You’re likely a Russian troll.

              Yep, I’m high, and a Russian troll. Ya got me :/

              Fucking online fear mongering. Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Feels like home.

                You didn’t answer my questions about stacking the Courts or an attempted nationwide ban, you just replied with sarcasm.

                Who do you think encouraged Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, and Mike Parson to push the fold on women’s rights?

                Also, I live in South Texas. Please tell me about the “immigration crisis piling up at our borders”, before the bussing to different states. I’m listening.

                  I’m allowed to respond with sarcasm. Mostly because I don’t take your fear mongering seriously. But as a courtesy:

                  There won’t be any stacking the courts. Stop it. Just like Biden was suppose to stack the courts. It was bullshit then, it’s bullshit now. But feel free to call gotcha on me if Trump wins and stacks.

                  What happens in a few states isn’t relevant to a “nationwide” ban. Trump is barely a conservative (he was a Democrat for much of his life). Abortion is a losing issue for moderates and left leaning conservatives. Many are in favor of some type of abortion (12 weeks, 15 weeks, etc…). Any conservative would be a fool to campaign on a federal ban on abortion.

                  Honestly I don’t care to argue immigration much. It’s not a issue in my state.

      In Maryland there is like 33% wiggle room I am ok. If I was in Pennsylvania it would be a different story.

      Hillary and Biden both beat Trump by huge numbers in Maryland I can vote for 3rd party no issues. People are just scared that people from Pennsylvania have the same idea which it would actually cause harm.
