If you’re an American, and you want to stop Trump, it’s important to be actively involved:

  • Check your voter registration - there’s been an active effort to purge voter rolls, and if you moved or changed name, you’ll need to register again anyways
  • Talk with people you know about voting for Democrats up and down the ballot. Personal endorsement matters.
  • Volunteer — it makes a real difference
  • If you can afford it, donate to the Biden campaign. Even fairly modest amounts of money from a lot of people add up to being able to hire staff and run ads.

      Are you saying Europe would sweep in and save us? China and Russia? Our NAFTA 2.0 partners would say, “woah there, companies, we had a deal with your now-collapsed country.”

        The way people cancel corporations for way less is a sign that they would also probably cancel companies who enslaved previously free people. It wouldn’t surprise me is Europe and other allies came to the rescue with rescue plans that although helpful would bind the US into some sort of lock for many years to come. But I don’t expect that distopian schenario to unfold just yet even though it does look bad over there

          Thanks for your optimism :)

          I really dont think the US will collapse as in this hypothetical scenario, and I sincerely hope you’re right.

          If it’s the EU the binding could mean following the same rules than EU members. I don’t see much of a problem there.
