It's a very real possibility, and it's what he deserves (or at least, the start of it; ideally jail would be next). The part that sucks is Americans being so shit scared of third parties that their preferred alternative is someone even worse, rather than someone better. But on the other hand, if Americans are so unwilling to consider other options, it's hard to argue that they haven't brought the results of that on themselves tbh.

It's not that we're scared (Well, we the little guys), so much that it's just third parties not being viable with our current system.

Like if third party can't even make an noticeable mark during 2016, a time where both parties had deeply unpopular candidates, then what the fuck do you expect an independent party to do now?

But even if people were more willing to vote 3rd party, the media sure as hell isn't willing to cover them. Just look at Bernie Sanders. Half the time I heard about him, the media was questioning when he was going to drop out.

I also couldn't help but notice all the Democratic candidates conveniently dropping out and giving their full support to Biden when it looked like Bernie was potentially gaining popularity.

The media loves Trump, because he brings drama and ratings. If you were a 'sane' Republican in 2016 you were pushed aisde. Because did you hear what Trump said an hour ago?

The system will not allow a third candidate until the system is changed. The system is great at making sure that doesn't happen.
