  • Do they have a vision? The scary thing about Trump that it’s uncertain what he will do the next 4 years. Will he undo democracy or keep it? Will he continue to support Ukraine or not? Will he leave NATO or not? Will he impose those tariffs or not? Will he apply project 2025 or not? Will he impose a federal abortion ban or not?

    Kamala had a clear but boring vision: 4 more years of the current status quo. Nothing new will happen.







  • Maybe you’re right that many are truly apathetic about the situation. For me as a non American it’s just baffling that so many don’t use their privilege to vote. The default attitude should be to vote unless you truly feel your vote doesn’t matter.

    It’s also difficult for me to grasp that, when given the option between a party whose policy is to defend the current status quo, and a party whose policy is fascism, the attitude is “meh, whatever”. Most people should have an opinion regarding this.

    Not all elections need to be about new exciting changes. Boring is also an option.

    Or maybe status quo is so bad people don’t care if it’s replaced by fascism. If that’s the case, then I agree it’s fully DNCs responsibility for the failure.



  • It’s the people’s responsibility to go out and vote. It doesn’t take much time to look up each candidate. If you have the slightest preference for one candidate, then go out and vote! No need to be glued at politics to do this.

    If you don’t want to take this responsibility, fine, but then don’t complain that you don’t like the result.




  • Anyone undecided between Trump or Harris wouldn’t suddenly decide for Harris if she was more anti economic elite. They probably voted for Trump in the end because he’s economic elite.

    The only voters they could potentially earn are those who otherwise wouldn’t vote for either because both are too right leaning. I don’t believe there are many votes to gain in this group. If you’re to the left of Harris, then you’re probably going to vote for her over Trump.



  • He’s pro-Russia. When he takes office, it won’t be long until Ukraine loses. It sends a signal to Russia that they can occupy any land they want.

    He doesn’t believe in climate change. I’m afraid we can’t afford another 4 years of inaction. Those storms in southern US and the current flooding in Spain? Get used to it. It’s going to be even more frequent.
