I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
My impression is that a lot of political experts and other commenters are conflating winning a debate with winning an election. People might agree that Harris won the debate, but they still might vote for Trump. And there are thousands of potential voters who like his lies and like that he lies and then lies about his lies.
Trump is absurdly, pathetically, desperately "running from prison," as George Conway says. He's desperate to regain power, to hang on to his money, and to not be "the loser" …
"We still have to get out the vote" - damn right - especially as we will be running against the Electoral College as well as trump. Marginal wins are not good enough - we have to roll over them like a tank.
I so wish the importance of controlling Congress would come up in every speech and post that Dems around the country do with the caveat that none of the promises Harris is making will be possible if voters don't vote Democratic all the way down their ballots. People are too inclined to split their tickets so one party doesn't dominate, and that's how we've ended up with the "do nothing Congress" we've got.
JD. Agree. I never split my ticket anymore, not even a local R who is OK. Yes, we must get out the vote and hopefully, blue will be overwhelming.

I also had a dope try to challenge me when I posted that the Springfield story was false. He hadn't read the article he po…
But the real problem is that there are even fence-sitters. Even after listening to his pure insanity on that debate, I hear people say "but the economy." Given that except for inflation the economy is better now than under Trump, what is it these people are really looking at that would excuse voting for an obvious madman? The country has taken leave of basic common sense. This won't end well.
