    Sure, my plan:

    • Donate & Volunteer to candidates I support
    • Vote for candidates I support in the primaries
    • Get as many of those people elected
    • Call them and donate to causes that advocate for what I believe in (SLPC, NAACP, CCL, EFF, etc)
    • Call them and donate to causes that advocate for ranked choice voting or something better than FPTP
    • Throw my hat in the ring one day

    I can’t control what others do, I can only strive to influence others. So to entertain the question, if a dictator gets elected - I will fight, I will protest (and have) up until the point that I can’t or it no longer presents as a viable option for change. And if we do ever get to that point, then I’d reassess my options.

    And as for your ignore constituency statement, I get it. I didn’t like the way it went down either. The timing was terrible - I was with Joe up until that disastrous debate and then yea, I started to call people and voice my concern. I responded to survey saying he was unfit. Morale was low. The powers that be decided on Kamala, and I stand by much of her platform. I liked her as a top candidate in 2016.

    And I’ll just present you with this idea. Wouldn’t it be so lovely to bookend this racist moron and all of his racist followers with a black man preceding him and a black woman after? I think that gives me a little bit of hope and faith in America.

      I guess I just don’t have enough faith in democrat voters to do anything like this in large enough numbers, but I hope for the sake of the rest of the world that they do.
