    This is what I don’t understand. Do people not factor the consequences of giving the orange buffoon power again and the impact that choice has on their own country, economy and system of government, nevermind what is happening half a world away?

      I had a super progressive friend throw her vote away because of a war happening across the globe that’s been going on for thousands of years. Kamala supported Israel and on top of that, “she’s a cop.”

        Probably expected the gaza war to end the first day trump was in office too…

        But no, progressives aren’t necessarily the entire answer either, as other forum members hope. Nothing against AOC or Bernie (I think they’re great). Vote by policy and solutions, not personality or affiliation.

      People are tired of falling in line for a party that doesn’t support them.

      It’s an easy fix, just start nominating progressive candidates.

      The only issue is that upper middle class white folks will have to pay more in taxes, so they’d rather have Trump.

      It’s all about the money, and money brings out the worst in people.
