MANY PEOPLE may find it hard to understand, but just over a week before the election, some voters remain undecided. To them we would say: A vote for a second Trump term is a vote for an America in decline and an American democracy in danger.

At best, the demise would be gradual — a descent into diminished prosperity, constricted opportunity for your children and grandchildren, waning influence overseas and continued erosion of democratic norms at home.
This is not a matter of conjecture; it is a judgment based on President Trump’s record and promises.
And progressives from The Hill made this same point about Biden winning. Either way you go, you wind up with a defender of the plutocrat status quo.

Biden is a corporatist puppet, same as Trump, with Trump being a little more resistant just based on being an obnoxious jerkweed. Both stand for the same oligarchy power structure as it exists now. Not a dime's worth of real difference to how America progresses over the next four years, and you're blind to reality if you can't see it.

Trump's functionally an outsider with regards to the whole political elite swamp scene. He's not a puppet. He can be obnoxious and is probably a bear to work for.

However - huge difference between the two in how they (or whomever would pull the strings for Harris) would govern the populace.
