I don't know, I'm kind of with the author on this one. Can you articulate what specifically you feel is at risk in terms of our democracy if Donald Trump is re-elected? I hear people say it all the time, but I just don't see it. I get you don't like the guy, but how exactly is democracy 'on the line' in this election? What specifically are you concerned he'll do and on what do you base your concern?
Many people can only read things they agree with, even if what they want to believe is factually and statistically incorrect. Good on you for being able to think about the truth as it is, rather than what you'd like it to be.
It’s too long and fraught a discussion,to have via email. I see him as the most dangerous person ever to be anywhere near the presidency and I think he represents the end of a 200 effort to build a liberal democracy. And while,I know it is old and therefore boring news, I think it’s undeniable that he attempted an actual insurrection and makes real,efforts prior to that to use the American military to support his efforts to subvert democracy. If someone believes against a lot of evidence that he’s a fine fellow I can’t dissuade them and have zero interest in trying. In any case my guess is he will win and we will find out.
Agree that there's no real point in debating in a forum such as this. I'd just say that the fact that two seemingly intelligent and rationale people can look at the same event in completely different ways lends credibility to the thrust of this article. I'd posit that you and I are part of the relatively small portion of the electorate for which the 'threat to democracy' issue is very important, yet we see the issue in completely opposite ways. I can make a well-reasoned argument that Biden, but more so the progressive wing of your party, are the true 'threat to democracy'. When all is said and done, I hope it's the issues actually impacting people's day-to-day lives that will decide the election...the economy, immigration, and abortion will be deciding factors.
