    he’s never getting anywhere near the White House again, so who cares what he says?

    Man, I wish I shared your optimism. The next election is going to come down to a few thousand votes in a handful of states, thanks to our backward electoral system.

      backward electoral system

      Gerrymandering, disinformation, election fraud, voter intimidation by big guys with their big tough guns at the polling stations. Oh, and the arbitrary under-staffing/removal of said polling stations. Lack of ranked-choice, etc.

      Sorry, going off the cuff, but I guess your choice of words covers all that. Man I’m proud embarrassed to be an American

        Gerrymandering won’t help elect Trump in 2024.

        The rest could, but they are mainly a threat in fully Republican-controlled states. But Trump cannot win the election unless he wins states where Democrats retain control, eg Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona.

      He pretty much can’t win. No way in hell he’s gaining supporters, he can only lose them. Only way he wins is if half the country stays home.
