Some are pointing out that George H.W. Bush was behind Dukakis by 19 points in May and won the election by eight points in November. Do you think this could be the case with Trump/Biden or is it over for Trump?

I think every single person who is concerned about the coming election and wants to see Trump defeated needs to read this question and remember.

Because YES, it could be the case. NO FREAKING QUESTION.

This is what happens with Democrats.

That cartoon is 100% factual.

When Americans vote in force, (No, I did not say Liberals or Democrats, I said “Americans"), Liberals win.

When voter turnout is low, like it so often is, Republicans win. This is a repeatedly proven fact, and it says something important about Democracy In America. It is the reason Republican strategy relies so heavily on voter suppression.

This is a Republic, not a pure democracy. Conservatives love saying that with their noses in the air and with absolutely no idea what it really means.

This is a Republic ORGANIZED as a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. Meaning the people you democratically elect to represent you make the laws of the republic, and that’s all that matters, not what most people think. If what mattered was what most people think, we would be an INCREDIBLY liberal country.

Don’t believe me?

The Tyranny of the Minority.

I read a question a couple of weeks ago about why someone from a reliably liberal state should bother voting. The answer is because Conservatives don't ask stupid questions like that, and for that reason are able to control state legislatures in states with a liberal majority, and gerrymander the districts so that they are stacked in favor of conservatives and all the liberals are packed into a minority of districts.

That’s what the Tyranny of the Minority looks like.

For FUCK'S sake VOTE.

Who Gives a SHIT how the polls look as the election approaches. VOTE. VOTE. For FUCK'S sake VOTE.

Because, Yes. At one point in the Polls, Dukakis WAS leading HW Bush. And He got his ASS handed to him. Why? Because Liberals are GREAT at speaking their minds everywhere but where it matters most.

The Goddamn Booth at the Polling Place. Don’t know where yours is?
