Look, Article 22 of the Constitution says that nobody can be elected President more than twice. That means Trump would have to admit that he wasn't elected in 2020. And he won't do that. So the path to Trumpland is only a fantasy. So the only real way forward is toward the midterms.
@Martha. The FEC. However they operate on facts and evidence. Since the former president did NOT win the election they would have nothing to do. Also, since that same former president is full of shit and a liar, he will say he can run again because "he was robbed".
what trump will say is this..."I know I won, but if "they" say I lost, we'll go with that." He twists like a tornado, and doesn't care what reality is, so the fact that Article 22 is there means nothing to him, as does the Constitution. He will try to overthrow the government any chance he gets. So you are right when you say that the way forward is the midterms. Vote out all the nutjobs in the republican party!! And hold the criminals accountable.
Excellent point! I had not thought of that and clearly neither has he. Maybe to get the Republican nomination, they would "force" him to concede 2020! How sweet that would be!
@Divanista96 I find your portrayal of the so-called “Forward Party” pitch perfect! As I understand, its platform, by intent, is a mission statement around which localities would formulate policy.
Here we are . . . forked again!
Fork me once, shame on tRUMPTY DUMPTY. Fork me twice, shame on right wing propaganda. Fork me thrice, confine me to the CUCKOO'S NEST!
Laughed my arse off when I read yours...
A taste for gallows humor, have you? Good man! ];-)>
I don't want to be forked again!
I hear ya'!
Congrats, DZK

@Martha. I love it when you get all factual and such!
Thank you kindly. The question that logically follows is who enforces the 22nd Amendment, and how?

Martha Ture ; Same!

oops! It's amendment 22.

Excellent Martha. I will steal this on FB - soon.
Ah, but will the Supreme Court buy it?
What a "great way out" of this miserable situation we're in... How can we capitalize on this?
Send lawyers, guns, and money.
Remember layers of actors to increase deniability.
"No, no, the dog's name is Cliff."
My favorite!
Josh Hawley ran that way!
I never get tired watching reruns of his run thru the halls of Congress on Colbert!
Maybe Elon can take tRump to Mars before we go off the cliff.
“Merrick Garland told me there’s a lovely picnic spot and campsite over this way.”
We have a winner!
We have a chance on this path.
Like Mars, trumpworld is unihabitable!
It's time to leave fascism in the dust. This way to democracy before it's too late!
The only viable road is the one that gets money out of politics!
As the great bard, Yogi Berra, has advised, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
Yeah Yang is giving an update on the third party he's forming right over there by that cliff...
His timing is way off, another time in history when messing with an election would not be so fatalistic.

FWD supports ranked choice voting, but it's pretty vapid beyond that.
RCV is really the only way forward for the mess the "founders" created.
Who is Cliff and why is he being warned?
Let's take the high road.

The cliff sign was put there by republicans, democrats are building the stairway through the valley.
Beware the "cliff" sign.
If the small print is correct, we can step off this path into the Land of Biden. It looks invitingly green there.
We're in a cliffhanger to see if democracy survives
