I saw a comment go by today that said some people are going to sit this election out and wait for 2028. First, there are many downballot elections now and before 2028. Don’t sit out.

Second, if you’re thinking if Trump wins and gets to pack up the courts with more Aileen Cannons, Matthew Kacsmaryks, and Brett Kavanaughs and you’ll have a chance to correct all that in 4 years, you will not.

@TonyStark As a German I'd like to remind you that we also had a guy who even wrote a book about what atrocities he's about to do when he comes to power, and most people were like: "he's not serious, he wrote it but is not going to act on it". A decade and 20 Million dead later it became obvious he literally meant it, and the whole world had to come to us to get rid of the guy. So better take your guy serious!

@TonyStark I can afford insulin now. I’d really rather not die for the person who feels like they can stay home.

@TonyStark What makes these people think that there even will be a 2028?

Doesn't that whole "sit it out" BS make you imagine some Russian planted rhetoric?

Sort of like, "but her emails."

@mastodonmigration @stargazersmith @emc2 @TonyStark Exactly. In 2016 there was a LOT of propaganda, likely Russian originated and spouted by many of the faux-left, to not vote at all. We can't help but think there is some more of that happening now. wants a US dictatorship. is an actual Constitutional leader who gets things done. and give working majorities in the House and Senate. That will actually help America and Americans.
