He’s going to be proof that people don’t know what the fuck they want. People demanded unity. So he let the GOP gaslight and set the narrative while he tried to promote positivity and progress.

Then the people chose a terrorist.

I’m still processing.

I’m definitely not giving up. I’ve thought about just being more blunt with people. But I’m naturally an empathetic person. So I’ll probably still listen to people and try to understand. Some people are just freaking ignorant though. And it’s frustrating to see people who disagree with everything Trump stands for still vote for him because they don’t like Democratic vibes.

The left is judged based on their absolute worst (and often just a strawman of the left) while the right is judged based on their best (or a vague sense of what the right represents to them).

There was major backlash to black people saying that their lives matter.

Sometimes it’s just intelligence. They’re very proud of their ignorance and hate.

Anything that makes “white kids” uncomfortable or “guilty” is being banned which 100% includes the mention of slavery.

Or maybe parents shouldn’t tie their identity to traitorous states that murdered Americans so rich people could own black people.

I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

We shouldn’t have normalized letting traitors run for office. But SCOTUS deemed the constitution “unenforceable”.

We need to normalize the constitution. But people acted like the 14th amendment was “novel” and now there’s precedence.

Would things be different if the media reported on how the administration avoided the global recession or about how we exceeded every other first world country? Maybe.

Should they have explained WHY prices were high? Obviously, but then they would sound like they’re defending the administration. That’s why they never explain the WHY for anything.

It sucks, but our media favors Republicans. That’s the playing field.

It’s a terrible position to be in to argue that you are the right person to continue making things better. You have to argue that you’ve done a good job while also acknowledging that more needs to be done.

Just a note on mail ballots. Some can often abuse it by coercing their spouses to vote a particular way.

Terrible argument for what?

Avoiding a recession was a good thing. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still problems. Sorry if you’d be happier with a job market crash or a housing market crash. But that would be even worse for people.

The economy being strong was only ever a commentary on the foundation. The economy is stable and people are still struggling, which is what Biden has said.

They should have been screaming about it four years ago. Biden chose to take the high road and not talk about the previous administration.

Because people want to be angry, they want their feelings justified, and there’s no actual evidence for what the other person claimed.

“It’s not enforceable” just like the 14th amendment.

Vivek will enthusiastically support literally anything. Him supporting anything shitty shouldn’t be newsworthy.

Prices go up faster than they go down. They rose fast as costs went up. They didn’t go down because profit margins were higher than what any of them lost from customers leaving. (Doubling the price of goods and halving the customers leaves companies ahead.) When other companies also kept prices high, suddenly all incentives went away.

Also, people have become entitled. Everyone. Just look at McDonald’s. They kept raising prices, way above competitors. They just kept raising prices until people stopped going there, but they never stopped. Even when they couldn’t afford it or they could go somewhere else.

People are feeling inflation and prices still aren’t coming down.

Honestly, I think government’s part in the higher prices are close to zero. People don’t want to give up their conveniences and capitalism just doesn’t work the way people think it does.

I’ve been thinking since the election, there needs to be a rebranding. Most Republican voters agree with “liberal” policies. Most liberals agree with “progressive” policies. We need to start calling it what it is.

Bernie, AOC, Warren are liberals.

Clinton, Biden, Harris are conservatives.

DeSantis, Trump, Huckabee-Sanders are authoritarian elites.

Liberals are pissed because we keep reaching across the aisle in hopes of centrism from the DNC candidates. And conservatives won’t even vote for their values.
