Both are an existential threat to America and, by extension, the wider world.
Of the two, I agree that DeSantis is by far the bigger threat.
Galvanise, mobilise and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. Forget the BS about "Independent" candidates. America has a two party system. It always has. I agree with those that say that this needs to change. But now is not the time. Safeguard your democracy first. Then look at implementing change.

@whowasthatmaskedman I'm not so sure. There has always been bigotry, hatred and simple stupidity. What has changed is that these two specimens have made that not just OK, but also something to be proud of.
Ultimately, yeah, it's the people that vote for them (while they still can vote that is) but it's them that have enabled the hatred etc.

@room101 I totally accept that.. It used to be considered ignorant and ill bred to hold such opinions. The opinion of the crazy uncle who arrived drunk for Thanksgiving. Trump and Desantis have given these people a voice, a focus, and the Whole Republican Party as a choir..😷
