In 2020, Biden's lead in MI was strong enuf that I
could afford to vote Libertarian, without risking
a Trump win. Genocide Joe has wasted that lead.
I am surprised to see you make that statement -- although I understand it completely. I, too, like to vote my heart, so when I had to vote against the Ontario Liberals in 2018, and they were ousted, it was hard. But it was also necessary. A time-out was overdue for them, and the party needed to clean itself up.
But I also note the phrase "risking a Trump win." That is my great fear, and it is much, much more fearful to me than 2018.
The present court cases against Trump, and the election to come, suggests to me that something existential is at stake. The court cases, including SCOTUS doing him the honor of even hearing his audacious and obscene claim of absolute immunity, tell me that even the legal system in the US is now on trial. If it can not convict him, if he can beat these raps along with all the other he has beaten in his long career, it will be a defeat not just for federal and state prosecutors, but for the rule of law itself.
And because he has told everybody, in so many words, what he will do as President if he wins again (including using the justice system itself to punish his "enemies"), then I say "God help you all."
