As a Democrat, it all feels hopeless.

It's never hopeless, but it depends on your outlook:

I am resigned to Trump being President next year. Biden and his close circle of aides and relatives obviously don't get it, and after this shooting event, fewer people are pushing him to step aside.

So it seems Democrats want to learn their lesson the hard way - with 4 more years of Trump. Perhaps they're spend it mulling over all their mistakes, and come back stronger in 2028.

Another Trump administration will do untold damage to this country. If not just in policy, then in psychological and cultural damage. It's sad that Democratic leadership wants to sit back and wait for 2028. That is too late and we all know it.

There weren’t political execution attempts on the opposition candidate when Trump was president. Is this what you prefer?

Who sits in the Whitehouse is not as important as people are making it out to be. But, yes Trump won the election with that picture but also due to Biden’s debate performance.

PP you replied to. Realistically, no, it won't do "untold damage". It won't be pleasant, particularly for hated minorities like Arabs and Muslims, and women will have more difficult time seeking reproductive healthcare, that's for sure. Immigrants will get the short end of the stick, international policy will be all over the place, because there won't be a policy, just Trump's whim.

But no, there won't be a dictatorship for life, concentration camps, death penalty for women who miscarry or abort.

So we'll weather it if we have to.

I agree that it would be so much better if Democrats could see their way to being more ruthless with Biden.

Everyone i know feels upset and worried for the country... but nobody has changed their mind about which candidate is getting their vote.

Shocked that the DCUM set hasn't seen their friends and family changing their vote lol.

The mass of voters outside of the DCUM bubble are a different story.

Not PP but I don’t think anyone really knows what will happen. The somewhat sane grown-ups who joined the Trump administration the first time around are unlikely to come back. Who is going to be calling the shots or reigning him from starting a new war? I also worry because we have family in Eastern Europe and Putin is likely to be emboldened to expand his campaign due to Trump’s complete disinterest in NATO.

I think Dems thought the threat to abortuon and women’s health care in general would be enough type galvanize voters this election, but it clearly isn’t. I don’t know how much further we will have to fall before it does.

I feel so much despair for my kids’ future. I’m glad I gave up alcohol a while ago, or I’d be imbibing every night.

Since you all made this thread I come here for a pick me up any time I’m having a bad day.

I hope you all suffer endlessly.

You a making shit up in real time. Nobody has even done, much less released, any updated polls.

You really, really can't wait for people to say how they themselves feel? You absolutely have to present your feelings as facts?

PP you replied to. I hear you on all of that. DH and I are western Europeans, so not as concerned as those in Eastern Europe, but still concerned for the future of NATO and the possibility of a land war.

We'll just have to deal with the uncertainty, I'm afraid.

Lol. Trump and the GOPs pandering to the NRA and second amendment enthusiasts are the reason that mentally ill teenage white boys have access to automatic weapons. Also, the shooter attempting to assassinate Trump was a Republican. All your logic is quite flawed which is not surprising.

Would think my mind 20s daughter's friend would worry about reproductive rights. But they don't care. Nobody is concerned in the least about Project 2025. Biden is such a bad candidate that they will either not vote, nor worry about Trump.

What are you talking about? Dems HAVE been crushing elections since 2018. There’s a huge disinformation campaign trying to get people not to believe their eyes. Polls don’t vote, people do. If you are “sad” then do something. This isn’t on politicians to save our democracy, it’s on all of us.

So more, worry less.

I haven’t read this whole thread, but I feel the complete opposite of the thread title. I feel HOPEFUL. Very soon we will have our President Trump back in the White House!! Just saw the classified docs case was dismissed. Plus the Supreme Court ruling. Plus the Democratic infighting. And a very strong Republican lineup for the Convention this week while the Dems have literally no one. It keeps getting better and better. I have been walking around all day with a stupid grin on my face!
