1. Your parents are not “somewhat rational people” if they are voting for a hateful bigot and rapist who is openly compromised by foreign powers and openly talking about how people only have to vote “one more time”
2. Please read posts before responding to them
3. We have popular republicans speaking at the DNC and getting cheered. There was a LOT of stupidity about Biden (“He is anti-Palestine so we should let trump win instead!”) but he is gone and there is no time to make a proper attack against Kamala. trump is not going to sway additional voters and is already losing “moderates” who are desperate for anything other than a rapist lunatic who would love Gilead if he knew how to read.

That is why the focus is on strong arming his party and elected officials to remind them that he led a literal fucking lynch mob against the last republican who crossed him by… not shitting on the constitution on Jan 6.

if trump wins it is not going to be by a popular vote (it was never going to be that). It is not even going to be by barely squeaking by on the electoral college. It is going to be by getting close and then using outright theft and violence to get the rest of the way.

Which is why, even if someone is too stupid to understand that there are down ballot candidates who matter just as much (arguably moreso), they still need to vote. Because we need a landslide so that there are no elected (or military…) officials who decide that they want to be on “the winning team” and defy the will of the people. And that is who trump is campaigning to at this point.
