      The pro-trump crazies aren’t the majority of the Republican party anymore.

      One of them literally just shot him a couple days ago in case you haven’t heard…

        this is an underappreciated truth, but they quite clearly control the party. the dems need to give a reason for a solid majority of people to get off their asses and vote - apparently the threat of a literal fucking fascist takeover isnt quite enough.

        “I’m not trump!” is typical dem fantasy BS at this point. the maga crazies taste blood and are about to frenzy feed.

          Moderate Dems don’t represent the Dem party either. But they control it.

          Both parties are controlled by the most rightwing factions, even tho most of the voters don’t like it.

          So we end up with most people voting against someone and not for anyone.

          That’s how we end up with 2/3s if the country not being happy if either of the two main parties win.

      Who are they going to vote for? If Trump isn’t the Republican candidate, you think they would vote for a Democrat?

        They’d vote for Trump. We both know he wouldn’t stop running. Vote splits, dems win.
