    I don’t have a dog in the fight; I live elsewhere, but it’s baffling to see voters vote for someone who actively caters to the corporations and rich that exploit the average American. Criminal record and very questionable ethics aside, choosing to elect someone to pour more gas on fire doesn’t seem like the right solution

      They’re not. Our information pipe is just totally broken, people literally have no idea Trump is like this.

      I don’t know what your country is like, but phone apps have basically eaten a lot of my family, and others I know. Sure there are some bible thumpers and such, but mostly it’s just… complete ignorance. An information diet of pure Facebook, tiktok, discord or whatever.

      But my mom is still very sane and sharp, and by sheer coincidence, she has no idea how to use Facebook or any social media.

      but there is no alternative for us. dnc does the same while lying to our face. the horrifying genocide in gaza showed people that dnc is also pure evil thus negating one thing they had going for years.

      miller and blinken have laughed at journalists questioning gaza while harris compared genocide to grocery prices that infact have more than doubled in last four years under dnc. they basically gaslight us on every issue and deflect any criticism as “orange worse, we are your only choice peasant”.

      they have actively sabotaged any political reform weakening the two party system and this time they even ran a mass smearing campaign vs green party. they are the same as gop but with a different marketing strategy. if anything dnc is worse as they pretend to be saint while pimping for megacorps & burning kids for few millions of aipac money.
