There is no easy way forward from here.

(63,849 posts)So sad we fight in other countries and we can't fight to save our own. So many posts here declaring defeat
I will not bend over and let this stupid ass man ruin our lives. Keep on fighting. Those electors are being threatened of course they are, we are being instilled with fear by a stupid stupid man who thinks this is fucking joke, he is no American, he hates Americans and for all those who will participating in protests good for you, it will take numbers of people to change all this.
That is my vent.

(24,653 posts)It would take too much principled conviction on the part of too many people proven incapable of such forethought and wisdom. Not going to happen.

(51,308 posts)And I guess our current president really does not care.
The silence is deafening.

(4,742 posts)The electors were polled (well about 330 of them) and they are not changing their ways.

(28,270 posts)Sadly I think this country is doomed.
Too many easily led by their hate idiots in the USA.
I mean we just elected a reality show con man millionaire to be President. A country that does that is to stupid to survive, that's why we will become a client state of Russia on Jan 20th.
The electors will go along with the program I'm pretty sure. Get ready for at least 4 years of republican war on the poor, old people, immigrants, gay folks and PoC and major shooting war(s) and trade wars.
Its what many in this country want and Orange Hitler is going to deliver it in spades to his republican death cult.
Many Americans will die an early and painful death with no health care as well, I will most likely be one of those. But maybe I'm lucky, I wont have to see Amerika descend into the full blown fascist nightmare that's well on the way.

(18,651 posts)We are still doing one of the major factors that lost the election. Assuming that a positive action is simply "going to happen" while ignoring any and all evidence that the contrary may actually be true.

(42,702 posts)Moreover, even if by some stretch of the imagination, enough electors bail on trump to deny him 270, it is beyond any reasonable expectation that he still won't end up with more EV than anyone else. And in that case, the House would vote to make him president rather than select someone who didn't run and/or had fewer EVs that Trump.
Reality sucks sometimes.
