It took less than 24 hours after Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Ivanka Trump to testify in the financial fraud trial swamping the Trump Organization in a Manhattan courtroom for Donald Trump to blow his top and lash out at the jurist.On Friday, Engoron ruled that the president's oldest daughter must o...
It's not that they're a particularly large portion of the country, it's that they have outsized power thanks to the electoral college and it's easier to disenfranchise dem voters. I'm not wailing about them, so much as stating fact. If 4 years of the chaos of Trump, cozying up to dictators, the million+ dead from COVID that didn't need to happen, the complete tanking of the economy and causing rampant inflation, an attempted coup/insurrection, many of his own staff saying he's not fit, Fox News turning against him (privately, but those texts all got released, thanks Dominion), a rape conviction, a fraud conviction, him spilling military secrets on tape, him stealing and attempting to hide classified docs, and now the likelihood that he's going to likely be jailed or under house arrest while trying to campaign for president, if all of that isn't enough to convince someone to not vote for Trump, what will?
The point of the comment was essentially don't bother with these people, the only answer is to vote dem in '24, and get as many people as you can to do the same. Things are stacked towards Republicans by nature of the system, you can ignore trying to change these people's minds because idk anything will at this point, but you can't sit it out or not vote dem this time around.
They're roughly half of all voters. You'll have to contend with that fact at some point.
That's the problem, they're not roughly half of all voters, but as previously stated have outside power. As for contending with them, the only thing to do is vote dem and start changing policies. Republicans, especially with a majority control of basically anything, are a policy failure on multiple levels.
Trump received 47% of the popular vote last election, i.e., roughly half. That has nothing to do with the electoral college, that means that roughly half of all voters voted for Trump to receive a second term, and there's polling to suggest he would receive more than that if the election was held today.
Regardless of your feelings about them, they're roughly 1 out of every 2 voters in this country. You can't just hand wave that fact away because you don't like them.
