People like that never have a shortage of boogie men. No matter that after controlling all of Congress there literally won’t be anyone else to blame.
No. It's the soul of about half the nation that is lost.
It’s an extremely close election that will be decided on the margins regardless. I’m not going to sit here and give up everything I believe in because we elect Trump again.
I think the country does, but they DGAF.
Neither of those would have helped unless the primary was in the normal course with Biden announcing a year ago he wasn’t running. Even then, it’s clear Americans care more about $2 gas than women’s rights.
Yes it is. Racism, bigotry and Christian nationalism is and always has been the core of the MAGA movement and his cult followers.
In a way that's the most shocking thing of all. That margin will shrink considerably as CA totals come in, but it's likely that he will win the popular vote.
Yep, it’s at its core and the core of its supporters believe those things. Trump doesn’t win just with his core support, which is what Harris was banking on. He has expanded his vote totals. Hispanic people aren’t switching to Trump by double digits suddenly because they’ve joined the “MAGA Movement.”
Price of eggs. But seriously, many folks are struggling to get by right now. It clouds their judgement and causes them to take a shot in the dark. They feel that they will get what they got with Biden if Kamala gets elected. When all you hear about is how so many folks are struggling to make ends meet and are unhappy with “their economy” it’s not surprising they way it’s going. It fucking sucks, but it’s not surprising.
No, it's racism and misogyny. Jen O'Malley also allowed a loss of momentum and engagement during the hurricanes which Trump spread disinformation all over the US.
I don’t have that confidence this time around. I’ve been around since Nixon.
You're too young to understand what it feels like to absolutely know that the nation is lost for the rest of your natural life. There is currently no way that SCOTUS will ever change over in my lifetime. It's locked it that solidly for the next 3 decades. That alone is a very valid reason to give up on the country.
Maybe because I’m young I can see things that y’all can’t. I’ve been worried about the strategy for months now but was told by a lot of liberals on the board that I was wrong to be worried about reaching out to Republicans rather than campaigning on progressive populism.
Trump is a shot in the head.
Not really. Going on Rogan wouldn't made a difference, and she ran a good campaign. Too many people just won't vote for a woman and didn't believe that Trump will really do what he and his minions have said they will do. And if you want to argue, defend Trump's campaign over the last three weeks. Lies upon lies upon lies, and people lapped it up.
Don’t you think I should feel worse about that than people older than me? I have to deal with this shit for a long time. That’s why I’m not going to give up and sit here saying dumb ass stuff like hoping that Latinos are deported.
Maybe they feel the best thing to do is to join the whites to have a better shot. That's what Mark Robinson did, too.
