Here is one way to look at it: what is the WORST that could happen?
If the Democrats are elected, the worst is four more years of business as usual. With a peaceful transition of power in 2028.
If the Republicans come to power the worst is catastrophic. And guaranteed.
Mass imprisonment and deportation. The rights of women, minorities of all kinds, and the poor will go backwards to the late nineteenth century.
A crashed economy. And isolationism leading to our exit as a superpower on the international stage. Huge damage to the international fight against climate disruption, a huge increase in international organized crime.
Climate disruption and environment degradation continuing to spiral out of control.
The continuation of the global slide towards fascism left unchecked. Wars of aggression with nobody to organize a global response. Ukraine fallen and nobody to check Russia’s march on Europe.
This is what your vote in 2024 will decide. It isn’t about you. It is about our democratic institutions. It is about the rule of law and not dictators. It is about the liberal consensus and the free world. It is about us.
