Inside of six months until the election, do all you can to keep Trump out of the White House.

I don't care whether voters have some beef with some minor issue like the price of gas or the price of their toilet paper. Be realistic. Is that a trade-off for what we would get if the orange headed menace makes it back to the Presidency? We're not fighting this battle politically at that level because there are people who have sold their soul to this perpetrator of evil and those little nuances are meaningless. Will the price of toilet paper matter when there's no more free speech, or when those who protest grievances to the government are shot down by the National Guard?

For those who don't like the actions and policy the President has taken regarding the Israeli-Hamas war, how will staying at home, or voting for some third party candidate, achieve the result you desire? First, be realistic. Israel isn't going away. Second, be more realistic. The Palestinian population of Gaza and the West Bank will become refugees living somewhere in either the Sinai desert, or in the no-man's land between Jordan, Syria and Iraq if Trump is elected Pressident. Those who are their advocates will be silenced, their resources no longer permitted to provide aid and whatever political resolution that is hoped for will not be achieved. There's no guarantee that every problem will become immediately resolved under a second Biden administration, but a two-state solution, which will at least provide some opportunity for relief and some hope for a realistic future, is possible.

Latino voters shouldn't think Trump has any plans to address their concerns. Once he uses you, he loses you. Listen to the rhetoric and believe it. He considers all Latinos as immigrants, not Americans, not even Puerto Ricans who are citizens by birth. He's repeatedly said as much. And these threats to station the military at the borders aren't just to beef up the border partrol. The intention is to shoot those who try to come across. How humane is that? And how humane will it be when any members of Latino families are separated when birthright citizenship is repealed? Not to mention the fact that Trump does not see opportunities for economic opportunity as applying to "immigrants," meaning all Latinos.

He's a bigot, and his language in reference to Latinos is a clear indication of exactly how he feels. America is a land of opportunity for Latinos, we are strengthened and made better by their presence, and your vote needs to keep it that way.
