(6,991 posts)I hear you, but I'm not so sure that would automatically elect a Dem to the presidency. We live in a different time and place now.
Massive scandals, being a crook who doesn't pay or show his taxes, pathologically lying, admitting to pussy-grabbing and not apologizing for it didn't stop tRumputin from winning/being installed into the presidency.
But then again, he did have the GOP's help in voter-depressing/voter disenfranchising/crosschecking/purging the Dem vote in key usually blue states. Plus, he got from the ruskies in God knows how many ways, FakiLeaks helped, ruskie bots,russians in boiler rooms on the Internet putting out fake news and outright lies about Hillary, The FBI and the corporate media, who gave him $2 Billion in free air time. And even with those things helping tRumputin, Hillary STILL won the popular vote and he managed 306 Electoral College Votes. NO landslide by any means.
To be honest, IF we can vote and trust that our votes WILL be counted fairly and properly, Dems need to mobilize people and GET THEM THE HELL OUT TO VOTE. IF PEOPLE (Especially Dems/Disenfranchised) aren't motivated to get out and vote after seeing what this orange, fat, lying piece of human filth "installed" into the White House has done to destabilize our world in just 3 short months, then I don't know what it'll take.
