I usually vote third party, but Trump was simply too dangerous and I voted Democrat. After we get back to relative sanity and away from Fascism, I'd want to work for a multiparty system, end to the electoral college and something better than the Democrats - but I'll not live that long. Trump is an existential danger to the US and World, and we will be lucky if we can flood the House and Senate with Democrats in 2 years and impeach him [although Vance is equally bad] - it might just destroy the MAGA movement which I view as dangerous to the survival of humanity - not just the USA polity.

As for people always wanting to live in their own country, with well educated people who are more mobile that is not always true. I have often lived in Europe though born in the USA. Half of my life I've lived in other countries. The MAGA crowd speak only one language [poorly] and are afraid to even vacation outside of the USA, being mostly provincial and poorly educated. Yes, of course, some Democratic voters are also not well educated, but the average difference, along with how they rate on racism and misogyny scales is enormous. MAGA are also anti-science, and their religious beliefs I find regressive and dangerous.

On the long-term the Environmental Crisis is the greatest threat and MAGA/Trump totally deny there even is a Crisis! On the short-term I haven't seen any positive move by Trump. He is the worst human I have seen in politics and I find it frightening he has a following. His trajectory is parallel to that of Hitler, if different countries and times - and I view him as equally dangerous. Both parties are controlled by the wealthy and that is the problem in the USA. It has always been an Oligarchy. Before it was less dangerous to the individual, but always dangerous to the society as a whole. Many of the Oligarchs who backed the Democrats are shifting over to back MAGA and a new class of Oligarchs [High Tech] seem to have been captured by Trump, as he is willing to allow them lower taxes and fewer regulations - when they deserve the strongest possible regulations and fair taxation.

I know the storyline well. Trump is just too dangerous, he's the next Hitler, which leaves us with no choice but to vote blue no matter who. All one has to do is ignore the genocide facilitation, driving Russia into the arms of China, the proxy war against a that rival great power, getting Al Qaida in charge of Syria, a Middle East on fire, and with the giggling joy filled candidate not even needing votes to make the run in the first place.

And I see Hegseth there as well. While I agree a guy straight from FOX NEWS who longs to re-ignite the Crusades is dangerous indeed, his predecessor stood before the people daily lying through his teeth, while steadily angling us toward WW3.

The dems will NEVER be held to account for their own mortal sins, so long as a great number of their voters expect absolutely nothing from them save for running around like headless chickens yelling "Trump Bad!", while seeking to either impeach him (for what exactly this time?) or throwing their political rival behind bars...

These people became a sick joke on the world stage over those 4 years, everyone save for "the golden billion" could see right through them, and with the other 6 billion now flocking for the relative safety of BRICS, the Rules Based Order is crumbling right before our very eyes. But then again that's not necessarily a bad thing so maybe Team Blue was onto something. Keep it up!  Tongue

Then again bad orange man has them flocking with urgency to BRICS as well, just in a different way. I guess the global south doesn't like this new faction in charge either.
