    I can’t believe Captain America would do something so fascist as punching someone he disagrees with politically.

    (The biggest /S that ever existed)

      Doesn’t matter. What might, is an egregious enough split to finally motivating enough people to care about removing it. I’m gonna do my part.

    It’s so insane watching America devolve like this.

    An orange fascist had has a chance of winning

    They place an old man as the only challenger

    Everyone hopes that democracy will survive.

    It’s like watching a train on fire headed to a cliff with a third of people with flame throwers, a third with water hoses and the remaining third not doing anything and hoping that they’ll survive.

      Why does everyone keep acting like it’s some horrific aberration and portent of doom that an incumbent is running for reelection? It was certainly a possibility that Biden would choose to be a one term president, but it’s not like choosing instead to run again is some out of character and wholly unexpected outcome, but everywhere I see talk about this display the surprise and incomprehension of if he had instead chosen to eat a baby on live television.

      I really do feel like there’s a decent chance America becomes a new Russia or China. A powerful country ruled by an autocrate and his oligarchs.

      Democracy already died with the SCOTUS decision a few days ago. Biden is a monarch. The only question is whether he will find the balls to use his power to remake the court and force it to turn us back into a democracy, or whether he’s too weak and in denial and will lose to Trump, who will use all that autocratic power to full effect if he gets it.
