Well the good news is that if Biden wins all the names being tossed around for 28 are in their 40s or 50s at the oldest.

I'm crossing my fingers for Whitmer personally.

Bad news is that if Trump wins, they'll all probably be in prison by then.

Vote.

If you really believe the Republicans getting control of the nation state is a existential threat, you would want to use every tool possible to prevent that right?

What if we changed how we vote so maintaining democracy doesn't fall solely into the democrats lap? So the democrats have backup on the debate stage! So there are more people to call trump out on his bullshit. So we have more chances to stop the Republicans. Wouldn't you want more chances? Don't you want to do everything we can to stop the worst from occurring?

Consider working towards passing electoral reform in your state. Maine and Alaska were able to do it... why not yours?

Especially in a blue state. What is stopping blue states from passing electoral reform? Cause it ain't the Republicans...

Michigan, for one, has made several reforms to electoral law via ballot measures and laws

You've yet to explain how to do this before November. Still waiting.

Yeah this is like "if you don't like either and you actually want something better, just change how voting works really quick, in a few months."

That's what they do. Anything but deal with reality.
