      I’ve spent the better part of the last year trying to convince people to hold their nose and vote blue to stop exactly this from happening, and that clearly was for nothing… I’ve got a lot of anger that I’d love to redirect at this new source of outrage. If you’ve got any insights on developing movements to rally around, I’d love to hear about it.

        I’m sorry, I dont know. Maybe we could try to form a coalition, but as always, I doubt the Democrats would want to band with socialists and communists. Maybe we could identify the mechanisms other fascists used to accelerate and assert their control over the population and use that information to impede him. I really dont know. Registering for the Socialists just sounds like it’ll be my name on their list when they are arrested and dispersed.

      Organize for what, exactly? A big reason he shouldn’t be in office is because he incited an insurrection on January 6 to overturn an election. Any kind of organization to prevent him taking office would also be an attempt to overturn an election.

      If you have a different goal in mind, I’m all ears. But I’ve been crying that democracy and elections are sacred and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change my mind because it’s gone the other way.

        Seems to me that an election involving a candidate that is inelligble should result in disqualification. The election should have never proceeded with him as a candidate. Can’t be overturning an election if the election was invalid to start with.
