    I’m not sure how that deals with the problem? Joe is deeply unpopular, people don’t like him and whether you think it’s fair or not people are not enjoying the way things are going right now. Doubling down on “voters feel wrong about how things are going and should vote for this unpopular old man” is not actually pursuing an electoral strategy.

    You suggested they were hoping the law would solve this problem, which is more coherent than suggesting that they’re trying to campaign by calling everybody who dislikes their candidate (almost 2/3 of voters, last count) wrong over and over.

      I suggested it was an option, but not the only one. Others believed that I was suggesting it was the only option.

          So don’t vote. Let inertia choose the winner.

                Unless you and a few thousand friends are ready to pick up a gun yesterday, yeah. There’s nothing you can do to affect whether or not Trump “happens.” I know it sucks to feel powerless but you are powerless. That’s the point of the way this country was built.

                  And do you have a thousand friends who will pick up a gun to defend what you believe in?
