    You’re right. The reason is the millions of voters who decided, after voting for Biden in 2020, that they couldn’t bear to so much as cast a vote to stop the literal Nazis in 2024 because [checks notes] they were busy slurping up cheap propaganda slop telling them that voting for Dems was Bad, Actually, on the strength of common left-wing issues that were suddenly SUPER important to cede to the Republicans on rather than compromise with the majority of the fucking party.

    I legitimately wonder if COVID putting more people online without the tools to discern much of goddamn anything had an effect.

      The reason was because honestly Biden didn’t do a lot of good. He is obviously much better than trump which is why I voted for Harris in the most recent election but he and therefore Harris were essentially gay Republicans. They wanted to do the same shit on the border as Trump they were just the watered down version of the Republicans. They wouldn’t have been as awful as Trump is now but they would still have been bad. If you don’t give a left voter base a left candidate they won’t vote for them. It is not the fault of the voters but instead the fault of the party and awful candidate choice.

        Man, over 90% of the American population believed the border is in some sort of dire straits - and this was before the election.

        At some point, you have to face facts that the country is just not that fucking left.

          Na homie while I agree it’s not a left country it’s also not a right country. When you give someone a watered down version of something they will go for the full shit. If the Democrats are just a watered down version of the Republicans people will generally go for the full juice shit being the Republican Nazis.
