      Just like he was never going to win in 2016 in the first place?

      His supporters tried to forcefully make him president when he lost the election in 2020. If he loses this next election, they’ll probably try again, and possibly with better results since it’s clear we won’t try very hard to stop them

        It is not clear that “we won’t try very hard to stop them”.

        In fact, we are now prepared to stop them.

            Not to mention a SCOTUS who he appointed 33% of, and potentially more if he takes power again.

      He will not return.

      Up to you Americans to ensure this will be true.

      Why? Because the US is noble and benevolent?

      Please. Go to your nearest ALL AMERICAN tent city where we leave our own neighbors to die of exposure and police brutality for the crime of being sub optimal capital batteries and then wax poetic about how we’ll do the right thing in the end.

      I’ll vote for Biden again, just as I did Clinton before that. I do so as if I am attending a funeral. There is never a candidate in either of the only 2 major parties worth voting for, only degrees of greed enablers. I do so out of a feeling of duty to try to influence the least harm of all bad options.

      Most Americans don’t have such a sense of duty in the face of bleak options though. I’m voting for Biden, but I’d bet on Trump winning, because our people are awful.

      Not their fault, our owner class has used their media they own and educational curriculum they set from Kindergarten to Colleges of Economics to turn us into greedy little gremlins that hate and work against one another (muh healthy capitalist competition!) for private profit and necessary division of their livestock. But we still are horrible, hateful, petty, spiteful, selfish people, not a society in any meaningful sense as a result. Thats why we got Trump once, that’s why he has a strong chance again. Remember what his brand is. Remember what his gameshow was about? Yeah, that’s who we are. Wealth class sycophants begging for daddy oligarch’s approval. Then we wonder why our leaders are almost entirely for sale through their pacs.
