I don't want my country to lose its constitutional democracy.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/07/i-dont-want-my-country-to-lose-its.html

I don't have any doubt that Joe Biden is up to the job for four more years, and I am supporting his re-election campaign 100%. I'd vote for anyone running on the Democratic ticket regardless, because I would also be voting to keep Trump from getting back in the Presidency. I want to make sure our country remains democratic and committed to the rule of law and to its Constitution. If his age should somehow become a factor, after he's been elected President, there are capable people behind him who could continue seamlessly to push forward.

I hope those who have been muttering, complaining, threatening not to show up, or to support the other side over their very specific cause see just how dangerous to themselves and to their cause it would be to make the mistake of feeding their own frustration rather than helping elect the guy who is going to be their best advocate. We have a great party and our strength is in our diversity, as long as we don't let the diversity become selfish ambition that pulls us apart. So Gaza supporters, Latino voters, Black voters, Asian voters, women, young voters, Jewish voters, working class voters, Green Party voters, independent voters, moderate Republican voters, voters who disapprove of the SupremeCcourt, voters who are in favor of women making their own health care choices, and everyone else who stands to lose everything if Trump is re-elected, it is time to unify the party and put up a solid front.

Joe Biden is the Democratic party nominee, and he's the guy who can beat Trump. We need to re-elect him and give him a Congress who will start the process of getting the power back in the hands of the people and out of the judicial branch and Supreme Court. He has the experience and knowledge to fix the damage Trump did during his term, including the balance of the court.

Are you with me?

Will this motivate voters to participate, or do we still stand to lose constituencies over their own gripes? lees1975 Jul 1 #1

If we do not win this election, that's the end. And at the present time, with all of the difficulties that present themselves over getting anything done in Congress, including any possible pressure they could put on the court, this is the only option we have.

The focus of the Democratic party right now, however, is not on preserving and protecting the democracy, or winning the election. We're focused on yet another distraction, the same kind of thing that has cost us elections and distracted us, and put is in the position where we are right now. I don't know what it will take to slap us in the face, collectively, and get the focus back on winning this election, but whatever it will take, that must be done.

Every American who does not want to see this constitutional democracy dissolved right before our eyes must decide they are going to make sure they cast a ballot which will prevent Donald Trump from being elected. This Supreme Court has called us to action. Democratic party members must reach out and make sure independent voters, Green Party voters, moderate Republican voters and every single Democrat registered to vote. Joe Biden must be relected President.
