Please take a moment to check that your voter registration is up-to-date or register for the first time at:
https://www.vote.org
If your state doesn’t have mail-in voting, you can request an absentee ballot here:

Vote like your life depends on it because, this time, it actually does.

I'll take that bet with 100 to 1 odds. Zero percent chance that happens as his failure as a leader and human being are shining proudly now.

I'd argue the economy is what will sink him. People will happily elect gutter trash until they see personal impacts on their living standard

„Shining proudly“ and still 1 out of 3 Americans is happy with him? Shouldn’t that be 1 out of 50 then? Seems it’s still not shiny enough.

1 out of 3 Americans *polled. Those numbers mean nothing come November. Voter turnout will be unprecedented and not for the failure in chief

In fairness, he lost by 3 million votes - apathy and ignorance did more for him than legitimate support. Hopefully lessons were learned.
notsureofanything
The electoral college did. The majority of America voted against him. He told America he was going to get rid of the college
trapperjohnmd
As much as they like to patriotically pretend this country is “for the people, by the people” it is the farthest from the truth. It’s sad.

Are you familiar with how our elections work? He only needs like 43% to win. And that’s if he’s not committing blatant fraud.
BenFalcon
Let alone the fact you can win an election with less than 50% of the votes, like he did this term, is disgusting... What is democracy?
MadameCleo
I‘m still baffled that a horrible thing like him even gets 20% of the votes, let alone 43. His approval ratings are still much too high.

I get a ballot 3-4 weeks before the voting date for any local/state/federal election happening at that time. I can mail it in, or there (1)
