Most people with limited political savvy heard Trump talk about the economy when Harris said she wanted to keep things as they are. And everything got fucked under Biden, but things were good under Trump, right? Let’s go back to that. Plus he was funny.
There is a dedicated group of shitheads that support everything the Republicans shit out, but they’re by-and-large not the majority in most places.
I dont get it either. The reds will be out in force for whatever reason. They dont care aboutbpolicy. They just vote. The opposition seems to want to be presented with ideal choices and want to hold out until they get it, country be damned.
Its why even pro fighters are wary of street brawlers - the rules dont matter. Play by them, or expect rabid dogs to abide by them, and you lose. Every time.
Oh, but you get to go home and be smug about not stooping to their level.
The opposition seems to want to be presented with ideal choices
That’s exactly what people want. They’re sick and tired of these half-ass politicians so they seek out candidates who will actually stand for something. The strategy of big tent politics failed Kamala’s campaign.
In any other election (barring 2024, which got us here), id be all in for this. But right now, theres a criminal in the white house wrecking the country, and deatroying your rights, and it seems to me that the voters cant be arsed to turn out because ‘huh, no ideal choices’.
Their kobayashi maru solution would be to do nothing because the outcome would be the same - failure, only the consequences of this failure would be to learn klingon. Thats not strength.
This is your conclusion after the fucking country elected that fucker? No, Americans don’t give a shit about any of that. People on Lemmy want that.
Americans want shit flinging, grudge based, reality show style fights. I don’t know that Kelly is enough of an asshole to be honest.
Yes, it’s how Mamdani won in New York.

You could say the exact same thing in 2020, 2016, 2004, 2000…
Yeah. Look how those turned out.
Honestly, I hope you are right. At the moment though, I have very little faith in the American electorate.
