    Holding Western stability hostage in the name of the oligarchs, good job voting everyone…

      The sad part is that that also describes what the Democrats did to get us into this mess.

          You have data to back that up I assume?

          Biden had polling in his hands that said Trump would get 400 electoral votes against him on the day he decided to run for a second term. Then he held on just long enough to make certain we would have no primary and be stuck with a candidate who couldn’t shake the stink of his presidency.

          Harris lost the popular vote by over 4-million votes. There aren’t that many “leftist extremists” in the whole damn country, and only a small subset of those wouldn’t have voted for Harris.

          The vast bulk of those who stayed home were left leaning apolitical normies. Most of the country fits in that group.

            A candidate who couldn’t make it to the first primary in her last campaign for this position too! I felt what I could only describe as “meta-unease” about her.

            If I felt so unmotivated, how uninspired was everyone else?

            Also I think the racial rhetoric from the Dems is turning some Black voters off.
