I canโt understand how weโre going to end up with another Biden v Trump election. And that Trump has a very good chance of winning. Scary stuff.
I don't understand why he's allowed to run again, much less why he's not in jail.
Even then he could still run while in jail and pardon himself if he wins too.
He might not be able to run if convicted? Honestly I could understand why he wasn't in jail if I bothered to read the articles explaining the processes and the complex legal reason he isn't. I just... don't care to spend my time doing that
Apparently he can as thereโs history of convicted people running for president while in jail but both of them lost.
No idea what would actually happen if Trump wins if heโs in jail though. Would be unprecedented.

Far out.
I hate politics especially US but I just don't understand how they (Dems) can think Biden is the best choice now. Surely neither of them are anywhere near the best choices to represent their parties. It seems insane to me.
The dems need someone loud and brash who boasts about all the democrat accomplishments and who brutally puts down republicans
