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.
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.
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.
Dems had a primary. Are you suggesting they should have held a second primary in a 4-6 week time period?
Except the country just voted that one person is above the law, so no, the country now isn't bigger than any one person.
It seems 45-48% have now knowingly voted (2-3 times) for someone who doesn’t believe in democracy or the constitution and they’ve been joined by another 5-6% who are too stupid to even realize that. They’re the ones who have given up on the country. I’m merely giving up on them.
I guess people care more about money than living in a fascist country. That isn't any better.
Yes, much better to divide the party coalition via an open primary a couple months before the general election. Tons of blacks and/or conservative Hispanics would’ve swooned for the gay guy or the slick commie from California. Or maybe the progressive/pro-Palestine wing would’ve really come around to Shapiro.
Exactly.
Thanks to the SCrOTUS decision, Trump can do "whatever the hell he wants."
Don’t think either would have made a difference. Particularly going on Rogan.
I'm not going to try to tell you how to feel about it. I'm giving you my perspective. I'm 46 years old and there is ZERO chance that this nation reflects any of my values for the remainder of my lifetime because SCOTUS will be so baked-in. That tells me that I may as well check out. I don't have children. I don't have a vested interest in what happens after I'm gone. I've been too vested for too long. When you've been around this nonsense as long as some of us, we will see what sort of enthusiasm you still have.
