Today is National Voter Registration Day! Take a few minutes to visit https://t.co/V3uLF7XRqt and make sure you’re registered and have a plan to vote. Then check in with your friends and family and make sure they’re registered, too. Let’s get it done.
It’s so weird.
Joe Biden hasn’t tweeted about Hunter’s trial being a hoax once today. He hasn’t called it rigged or unfair.
He hasn’t even attacked the judge.
It’s almost as if he’s letting the case play out without interference because we’re a nation of laws or something.
Bob Costas on Trump: “He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history...
You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult, to believe that Donald Trump has ever been in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States."
(February 2024)
We're so tired.
We're tired of people pretending he's not an idiot.
We're tired of his lies.
We're tired of his sickening amorality.
We're tired of his face, his voice, his smirk.
We're tired of his inability to say even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever.
So tired.
But we also know we can't stop.
We know it's up to all of us - the broad, bi-partisan coalition of #NeverTrump Americans - to stop him one more time and save our Democracy.
Maybe Joe Biden doesn’t sizzle. Maybe he doesn’t check all your boxes. Maybe he hasn’t done everything you’ve wanted him to. But your choice is between him, and a rapist who will let your state monitor women to make sure they’re not making their own choices for their bodies and then punish them if they do.
A racist who says he will put black and brown people in camps, and deport more than 11 million more.
A traitor who says he’ll use our troops to put down protests against him and our justice department to seek personal retribution against his foes.
A sociopathic madman who is telling you he will be a dictator on day one.
Look, Joe Biden isn’t perfect. No one is. But he doesn’t have to be perfect. You’re not marrying him. You’re not fucking him. You’re not having his baby.
He has to get this country through this moment in time. Through this threat to our very existence. And he has to do what he’s done for his entire term for four more years.
He has to steward this nation responsibly into the future so we can get to the next election where you get to choose someone new.
If Trump wins, there won’t be a next election.
And #TrumpsFloridaAbortionBan will look tame by comparison to what he does then.
So, you may think you’ll sit this one out. You may think you just don’t want to vote. You may think there’s some “better option” which doesn’t exist right now.
And what all of that will get you, is Trump.
Think about that.
Really think about it.
Please.
Donald Trump says he will deport more than 11 million people, that he’ll build migrant detention camps and deploy our military at our border and in our cities.
“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘥.”
Donald Trump says he will let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.
“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘴 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘺.”
Donald Trump says he would withhold funds appropriated by Congress and fire any U.S. Attorney who refused his order to prosecute someone.
“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘦.”
Donald Trump says he will pardon those who attacked our Capitol, even those who have pleaded guilty, he maintains he can order the assassination of his enemies, sell nuclear secrets and use the military to support a coup.
“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.”
Donald Trump says he might not help our NATO allies if they’re attacked, that he’ll gut the civil service, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and pack his administration with anti-Democratic loyalists who maintain the lie that he won the 2020 election.
“𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘰𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵.”
Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist business fraud facing 4 indictments and 80+ felony charges including subverting our very democracy and intentionally mishandling our nuclear secrets.
He’s promising to be a dictator on day one, and he’s not clever enough to kid about it.
Joe Biden is old (so is Trump), he walks a bit slowly (so does Trump), he fell off his bike (at least he can ride one), he isn’t exciting and he’s certainly not perfect.
But he doesn’t want to be a dictator, he doesn’t want states to monitor and punish pregnant women, he doesn’t want to deport millions, build detention camps or deploy our own military against us. He’s not a sexual predator, not a business fraud and he’s not facing a single solitary felony charge anywhere for anything. He never plotted a coup, he didn’t steal our nuclear secrets and he didn’t hide them in his fucking bathroom.
But, he is, at this very moment and all the way up until November, the person who can beat Donald Trump and keep his despotic, sociopathic, moronic, racist, sexist ass out of the White House.
He’s done it once before.
And in the four years since he did that, he’s gotten us bipartisan infrastructure legislation, lowered prescription drug prices, lowered unemployment, addressed gun violence, created millions of jobs, steered us through Covid and managed the economy so well we are stronger post-pandemic than nearly all of our peer nations.
And he’s never once called the Jan 6th attackers “hostages”, never mentioned refusing to accept the results of the election or mused about shooting his rivals.
So, this is the choice before us.
These are the stakes…
Democracy or a despot?
Which do you choose?
