is huge There are a lot of republicans jumping ship against trump and their party in general.

So far I have not heard of any such movement where dems are leaving our party.

I know there is going to be a lot of misinformation. I wouldn't be surprised if Barr arrests Biden for something made up. I really wouldn't. We have almost 4 months of this circus until the election then more than 3 months for trump and Barr to further destroy our nation if Biden wins.

...Michael Moore, Molly Ivins etc. attacked our 2000 nominee, leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi human beings and we've had all of those people who voted for Jill Stein in 2016.

I have never confused these people with Democrats, but they are not liberals either. They are complicit in the decline of the United States. They were OK with Bush II, OK with Trump just so long as they could parade around with the Trumpian self-conceit about their moral purity, moral purity that never existed.

I have had problems with some of my party's positions; most notably on energy and the environment; but I do not attack the excellent for the perfect.

I have voted straight Democratic for my entire life, and I'm not young.
