Showing Original Post only (View all)The point is that the voters should never have been put under the duress of a Trump candidacy... [View all]
He betrayed this country and should never have been on the ballot, in the first place. Only someone who has been asleep for the last 4 years does not know that he incited an insurrection against our government.
He should have been prevented from running by the 14th Amendment. But the Supreme Court ruled otherwise. In perhaps the most important Amendment in our Constitution, they chose to ignore it.
Now, voters are under the duress of having a possible treasonous dictator as the next president.
It really wasn't necessary.
If Justice had only done its job.
Our system has failed the people up to this point.
Few expect it to change in the near future.

American public is already worn down. Look how quickly they go to "both sides do it" etc.

Yes the media is part of the crazy train. They are enablers of societal/political abuse.

If Mitch McConnell had done the right thing back in 2021, we would not have Trump as a candidate now.

SC Smith has done a great job, no doubt as late as it was that he was appointed. But Garland didn't even have to...
