      What are your “plans?” Jump on a plane and go?

        Relocate to a country with a climate, social, and political system that I have already researched. Probably jump on a plane and look for a place to rent, secure that first, then move. I can start applying for jobs once I know where I’ll live. That’s as much info as I’m willing to give out before making the switch.

        To be clear, I love the Bay Area and Oakland and hope to stay here. But another T term will mean I have to get out because I just can’t do it again. It was too damaging to my mental and emotional wellbeing.

      Why are you voting for Trump and encouraging others to do so if that means you need to flee the country? Why not vote for Biden and encourage others to do the same? Then when the threat is passed we can all talk about the 25th amendment or whatever and try and replace Biden, but we’ll at least not be living under fascist rule.

        I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or serious, but because of the letters behind your username, I’ll be serious. I’m voting for Biden because that’s not Trump. But I want a stronger candidate who is not Trump because I don’t believe Biden will win.

          Thank you for being serious, I 100% was as well. So, you are voting Biden, and I will (I think safely) assume that you would then also encourage others in your circles to also vote Biden. Good, you have done your part!

          Also stop spreading this right wing talking point about Biden unable to beat Trump. I see a lot of people that say they don’t agree with fascism, but keep feeding into this both sides bullshit that the media is selling for clicks. Anyone that cares about anyone else on this earth should know that Project 2025 is something that should make even a potato a viable opposition candidate. Even Trump knows it’s wildly unpopular, and why he took to his fascist cesspool to disavow knowing anything about it (when his future administration will be full of the people behind it). Trump has no platform he can actually speak of/too. His plans are all to toxic for even his own followers, and his campaign even knows it. Anyone that doesn’t want to see Trump prevail should be focusing on that.

          With all that said, I’m with you on wanting a “stronger” candidate, as in one more representative of American (not just the [white] old school Dems). But neither of us has a genie.

            There’s no both sides to what I’m saying (despite the motives of others). I don’t think he can win at this point. Fortunately, news since yesterday suggests we might not have that problem much longer.

              Well, the for sure way he doesn’t win is if those wanting to stop a fascist continue to put all our energy into this diversion. It doesn’t matter who the candidate is opposite the fascist, it should be a clear vote, and I just have trouble grokking otherwise. Is Biden the best candidate, nope not even close, but between him and an end to democracy I just don’t see how it’s a hard choice for anyone not part of the cult.
