    Assuming that we’ll have fair elections in 4 years if Trump wins may prove to be one of the worst mistakes this country’s voters have ever made.

      When was the last time there was a fair election? Both parties conventions cram the most unpopular candidates down your throats, and always slowly sliding to the right.

        Just because something is bad doesn’t mean it can’t get much worse. Look at elections in Russia and China if you need inspiration.

          You think it can get worse than an 80 year old Zionist vs an 80 year old fascist?

            Yes, I literally gave you 2 glaring examples that you blatantly ignored. Since you clearly aren’t arguing in good faith at this point ill proceed to ignore you.

              Hate to break it to you but Chinese citizens generally live better than we do. They have affordable housing, healthcare and food.

                  Actually, we were talking about American elections, and you tried to change the subject to China and Russia.

                    Because you seemed to have trouble wrapping your head around how much worse “unfair elections” could be, and then you still ignored those examples and tried to claim US elections couldn’t possibly get any worse.

                    Absolutely absurd statement. And you still cant seem to wrap your head around why that is.

                    I know i said I’d ignore you but you just can’t seem to stop yourself from throwing more of these shitty disingenuous arguments my way.

      Sounds like Biden should stop sending weapons to Israel and vow to veto any attempts to block a rail strike in his next term.
