A cancer in the body. Trump's post impeachment behavior leads me to believe he's convinced 2020.....

....is already a done deal.

Symptoms that nothing has changed.
He fires at will.
He breaks promises that he just made the day before.
He convinced he can outspend nearly every Democratic candidate.
He believes no one can compete with him toe to toe. Dollar for dollar and he might be right.

For me, I will vote blue no matter who..... but please consider that none of the promised from any democratic candidate will ever see the light of day if Trump steals a second term.

Let me put it this way. I have just gone through cancer treatment in the last couple of years and I now look at Trump in this light.

Doctor speaking to the patient (aka Our Democracy): "I'm sorry but you have a fast-growing malignant tumor."

Patient (aka Our Democracy): "What are my options doctor?"

Doctor: "first you could get a second opinion". "But I would avoid consulting Dr. Senate he and his colleagues agree you're cancer-free"

Patient: "So what then should I do to attack my cancer?"

Doctor: "First you MUST excise (aka 2020 election) the cancerous tumor now before it grows to a systemic threat"

Patient: "Remove the cancerous tumor FIRST"?

Doctor: "YES! Then you would follow-up with chemotherapy (aka subsequent house and senate elections) to stop further growth of any remaining cancer cells." (aka MoscowMitch and his caucus)

Patient: "how long will these steps take? Surgery and chemo?

Doctor: "you will be looking at several years surely 2020-2024 if all goes well"

Patient: "what else might I do between those years?

Doctor: "my advice would be to follow-up surgery and chemo with targeted radiation therapy (aka state elections) to destroy any remaining cancer cells (aka rightwing republican congress members)

Patient: "Ok! Then what?

Doctor" "take care of yourself (aka Constitution), get your health back (aka your rights), work every day to care for what you could lose if you don't first get rid of the Stage IV Cancer (aka Trump)

1. Nah, he just insane . . .

2. He knows he can create chaos before the election

Declare the voting invalid. There is no FEC to stop him.
Be prepared!

3. If you really believe it's already a done deal

then why are you here?
What do you expect people to do if the elections is truly rigged in his favor and there's nothing we can do about it?

4. So let me get this straight. I should only be here if I agree with group think? isn't one political

cult in the country enough?

Seriously?

5. you are spreading a message that nothing can be done.

I call you out on it and you fall back on the "but mah opinion" nonsense.
Again I ask you...what can you do about it if you think the deal is done? If there's nothing to be done why are you here spreading the message nothing can be done?

6. Read my full post again. My opinion is just that an opinion you can agree or not.

I already told you what I was going to do come election day. PERIOD!

For me, I will vote blue no matter who. Simple enough for most folks to understand. I'm 73 and have voted in every election since I turn 18. Never voted any different then my dad, Democrats up and down the ballot.

But please consider that none of the promised from any democratic candidate will ever see the light of day if Trump steals a second term.

If you don't believe this than you might need to pay better attention to Trump's actions and words.

8. To the contrary I told you what steps were needed to take back our democracy.

And I told you what the democratic candidate needs to beat Trump.

And I outlined the steps that I thought were necessary. See the hypothetical doctor and patient exchanges.

Finally, at DU I am an "undecided". I also said from the beginning I will vote blue no matter who.

Reread the original post I added in edit some additional emphasis to make my message less subtle

Sorry if you still don't get it.

Here is a candidate in the DU list that gets it. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287511453

7. Trump is convinced of a lot of things ...

... but that doesn't make them true!

Lot's of work for us to do!
