        Let me just say that is a horrible game plan to stop Lucifer from assuming the role as chief fascist over America.
        The democrats had the good sense to help Biden step aside. The GOP can't say no to Trump, and he is having his own mental decline. I don't there would be any democratic candidate that would meet your expectations.

        You have a double standard when it comes to expecting political parties to act like adults. I did hope for Harris to take over, but if Trump's willingness to cheat doesn't derail things, she has a good shot to win this.

        You have people like Mitch McConnell harshly criticizing Trump, and there has been others, meanwhile they didn't do a thing to hold him accountable. Direct some of your frustration at the complicit members of the GOP. Democrats didn't nominate him or compel republicans too.

          I’m not sure how I have a double standard. Th GOP jnder MAGA control is awful, much worse than the Dems. That’s my opinion and it’s worth one vote (I voted for Harris) but almost half of America doesn’t agree with me and you.

                It all hangs on Pennsylvania, and I'm not liking how that is looking at the moment. The most recent polls there are all in Trump's favor with some more than 2% in his favor. Obviously within the margin of error but this is a bad time for the moment to be going that way. I can't see a viable path for Harris to win without PA. I still can't believe she didn't pick Shapiro. That may end up being as bad of a decision as Hillary deciding to not campaign in MI, WI and PA back in 2016.

                    The libertarian to altright pipeline is sometimes a thing.




                    The alt-right pipeline has been found to begin with the intellectual dark web community, which is made up of internet personalities that are unified by an opposition to identity politics and political correctness, such as Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, and Jordan Peterson.[2] The intellectual dark web community overlaps and interacts with the alt-lite community, such as Steven Crowder, Paul Joseph Watson, Mark Dice, and Sargon of Akkad.[2] This community in turn overlaps and interacts with the alt-right community, such as James Allsup, Black Pigeon Speaks, Varg Vikernes, and Red Ice.[2] The most extreme endpoint often involves fascism or belief in an international Jewish conspiracy,[16] though the severity of extremism can vary between individuals.[12]

                    Alt-right content on the internet spreads ideology that is similar to earlier white supremacist and fascist movements. The internet packages the ideology differently, often in a way that is more palatable and thus is more successful in delivering it to a larger number of people.[20] Due to the conservative nature of the alt-right, much of the ideology is associated with the preservation of traditional values and ways of living. This creates a susceptibility toward conspiracy theories about secret forces that seek to destroy traditional ways of life.[21]

                      I would throw out there that when a libertarian ends up in the alt right that they probably weren't all that libertarian in philosophy to begin with and were probably taking on that label as a way to describe their anti government or non conformist views. The alt right is pretty much the opposite of being pro individual liberties.

                              But look on the bright side for Harris... she still has a good chance of wining the popular vote:
