Highlights:
Anyone who genuinely cares about the future of the Republican Party — and you should if you care about strengthening democracy — has only one option in November: Vote to destroy the party to save it.
I believe our democracy functions best when there is healthy, fact-based competition between liberal and conservative viewpoints. Progressive ideas and policy positions are improved by being challenged, and the best decisions are forged from vigorous debate.
Now, however, we have the Democratic Party on one side and the Republican dumpster fire on the other. The GOP is a cult, held in thrall by an unstable bully and would-be authoritarian. Held captive by a man who sent armed insurrectionists to the Capitol in a violent attempt to overturn his defeat in a free and fair election. Held hostage by a man who punishes any perceived disloyalty with political execution.
At the 2020 Republican National Convention, the GOP didn’t even offer a party platform. Instead, it simply affirmed its “strong support for President Donald Trump” and his “America-first agenda,” whatever that might be at any given moment.
If you want the GOP to be a serious conservative political party and not a MAGA cult, send Republicans into the wilderness. Vote for Biden. Take away Republicans’ control of the House. Give Democrats a bigger majority in the Senate. Vote Republican officials out of statehouses, city halls and school boards.
Make the metaphorical ashes from which a new GOP can rise.
Thank God for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
Or themselves.

that Don is beating Joe in the polls with less than a year left before the election? A guy with multiple criminal cases is leading the current president.

Calling out the inanity of your posts is not stalking.
Homophobic slurs are childish.
If you don't like people responding to your posts then put them on Ignore.
Stop acting like a petulant child.

He would be more than happy to see Democrats as a super majority party for the rest of eternity. And Trump did not "send armed insurrectionists" anywhere. Stop lying.
