If the Democrats win, it is imperative that they strengthen the separation of church and state or we are just going to keep seeing this show every four years.

If they win, they need to fortify a lot of things. Let's hope they win down the ballot. She needs congress to back her up, before the US experiment is just a memory.
@CinnamonGirlE far more likely that Congress will be GOP. This country loves to create its own gridlock while the rich people laugh their asses off.
@MidnightRider @CinnamonGirlE There's public polling but each campaign has internal polling too.
Back in the 2022 "red wave" election the Republicans dumped dozens of Republican-favorable polls into the public pool in the final weeks of the election. They're doing it again this time. Why? Because they're losing. It's voter suppression.
A Trump campaign internal poll leaked. It's bad news for Trump.
So don't lose heart and definitely don't trust the lying public poll numbers.
@danielbsmith @MidnightRider
I never trust polls. They can say whatever anybody wants. I am heartened to see the large amount of voters coming out early. So 🤞
@CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider On the point of blaming religion though, I think the situation is a bit more complex. Whenever religion, and by this I specifically mean Christianity, becomes dominant in a society to the point of influencing government affairs, it becomes corrupt. Or rather, corrupt people who want power abuse it. That's what we're seeing again.
Separation of church and state is important but a better solution is for authentic christianity to root out the corruption.
@CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider According to Evangelicals for Harris, Kamala is Baptist. I can see it in her but she doesn't talk about it directly in public. She shows it in her actions.
If you haven't seen any of their ads maybe take a look regardless of your religious beliefs. They clearly show Trump as the lying hypocrite that he is. He will not get as many evangelical votes as last time. In a perfect world he would get zero.

Actions. It is always actions that matter.
@CinnamonGirlE it’s such a simple truth. It’s hard to understand why humans trip on it so many times like the corner of a bedframe.
@MidnightRider
Not sure myself. But I have it down pat. Even though I mess up here and there.
