    The shooting changed no ones votes yet it completely demoralized the Dems to the point that their leadership think its over. The reason is they don’t know what to campaign on anymore. They’re too scared to run a negative campaign anymore. But they are also incapable of running any sort of positive campaign.

      That’s why Biden said he would try to put a cap on rent increases. It will never happen, but it gets people’s attention.

        Actually promising a better future is a better strategy than listing his ‘achievements’ IMO. Problem is everyone remembers how they didn’t get their 2k covid checks, or how their student loans weren’t forgiven.

          And every one of those stupid motherfuckers blames Biden instead of the republicans who stopped them…

      They don’t represent my best interests even a little bit. My state will cast all its electoral ballots for Trump.

      I’m going to vote Green. If they get 5% then a hard left platform will be on every American ballot in 2028. That’ll turn Democrats left. Or, a Justice Democrat jump ship and split the vote.

      Ballot access '28 is actual leverage on the system. Better than wasting my vote on literally no change in the outcome while endorsing either of the fuckwads who can’t even deliver lines.

      Third election, same thing. Hoping the masses learn how their system works eventually.

      edit: There’s lots of down votes without explanation. This is why everything sucks: No one wants to learn and sacrifice anymore.
