A Kamala Harris win to me means stability around the world.
A Trump win puts us on a trajectory to global conflict and authoritarian dominance.
Simply, a Harris win guarantees that Trump will never see the Oval Office again. It allows America and her allies to come together without the spectre of isolationism and broken ties hanging over them.
@Tacitus_Kilgore Now we just have to worry about the millions of people who support Trump and will support whatever worse creature follows him. Easy-peasy.
@AskTheDevil Honestly? I believe when, not if, Trump becomes a loser yet again the (R)'s realize the damage he has done to their party. Once the mouthpiece mobster wannabe is defeated once and for all they will go about getting the rest of his sycophants out of the party. This is not to say there won't still be some aspect of what the party has become, but the rhetoric will die down.
I'm calling it now, Trump and many (R)'s are going to lose and there will be a huge blue wave.
Keep a close eye on the New Right, JD Vance & Project 25. They are not going anywhere. Always playing the long game.

Agreed.
Trump was the symptom, not the disease. It is naive to believe GOP reverts after Trump. Biden lost the beginning of his term to the naive hope all the Pubs he remembered from the Senate would suddenly revert after 2020.
"Normal" GOP was over when McConnell flatly refused to even consider voting on Merrick Garland.
Noms are gone forever
@S_r_stone I'm not implying they will revert. But they will have to rebuild. They now know their agenda will fail under this style of politics. @LnzyHou @AskTheDevil
@Tacitus_Kilgore @LnzyHou @AskTheDevil They need to go the way of the Federalists, the Whigs, every failed political party.
Democrats probably need to split into formal recognition of the internal factions. Maybe the leftover Pubs can join with moderate Dems?
We need more than two viable parties, but until our elections themselves change so third parties are more than just spoilers, we are doomed to the duopoly.
@S_r_stone Yeah. It's all a sticky wicket. Politics has never had a good reputation and personally I can't think of anything that would be a viable replacement. The best we can hope for right now is that they all find a balance and maybe start putting country above party. That goes for here in Canada too, where we have 3 viable parties and several other far L or R policy. @LnzyHou @AskTheDevil
