It’s a significant reversal from recent history: President Joe Biden is struggling with young voters but performing better than most Democrats with older ones.

    Unfortunately, there are only TWO choices in the 2024 election - you are either voting for democracy or dictatorship - period

      No, you’re either voting for genocide or human decency - period.

        Genocide AND human decency VS an end to democracy and just not caring about anyone outside the border short of a migrant caravan.

              no one is promising to end democracy

              Didn’t one candidate say they would literally be a dictator…“but only on day one.” I find it hard to trust anyone who ways they’d be a dictator any amount of time, and then stop. Dictatorship and democracy are polar opposites.

                with the rise of executive power from executive orders, every president is a dictator say one, rolling back previous administration policy and implementing their own.

                  every president is a dictator day one, rolling back previous administration policy and implementing their own.

                  That’s not what a dictatorship is. A dictatorship is where one person (the dictator) has almost complete control over the government with few, if any, restrictions. Executive orders can only be within the President’s authority, and can also be overturned by Congress or the Supreme Court. To link executive orders to a dictatorship shows a misunderstanding of executive orders, dictatorships, or both.

                  Also, in the quote of being a “dictator for just one day,” executive orders were not mentioned, if I remember correctly. And no democratic President should ever think of themselves as a dictator or wish they were one.

                    no one is accusing trump of being a knowledgeable statesman.

                    they are literally creating policy by dictate. your pet definition seems crafted to exclude this obvious use of dictate.

              Insurrecting against a country because they voted for someone else is a pretty solid promise on its own.
