The Dims have a glaring problem.
Yes, Dump is horrendous.
He is not fit for office, and all the things Roux laid out + more.
However, the current administration (Dim) has been corkscrewing the nation into the ground for the past 4 years, and people can FEEL it.
There are large problems all around, and people are hurting FINANCIALLY, which is a kiss of death for an incumbent, which is what Scamala is.
And instead of the Dims running a decent candidate, they are running a woman who is a completely laffable feeb.
She is a straight up sh!t candidate.
Hurting Americans are not going to buy her crappola.
When morning rolls around on November 6th, and your @ss has been handed to you, remember that you were warned.
Bidet should have dropped his dumb ass out of things over a year ago, and the Dims should have run real primaries to elect a real candidate to replace him.
Trump should have been very easy for you to beat, but you fouled the eephus pitch off your foot.
This. This right here x a billion.
Democrats need to STOP turning their primary process into a selection committee while pretending their voters have a voice. THREE Democrat primaries in a row have subverted the will of their members. Why? Because the orange man must be stopped at all costs and the best way is choosing a woman or a bungling old fool? Because the war machine and the totalitarian regime must perpetuate? Because the people can't be trusted to know what's best for them?
The DNC is permanently destroying the legitimacy of candidate selection. And they will get away with it until their members tell them to stop. It's fukken SAD to see rank & file Democrat party members being treated as chattel by the oligarchy, but it's even sadder to watch the rank & file gobble rhetoric like porridge.
Every Democrat with power and influence defended Joe's mental health with teeth bared and claws extended. If I had a nickle for every time I heard, "He just has a lifelong stutter!" I could buy a house. They believed every word of Joe Scarborough's propaganda about Joe's mental health right up to the debate with Trump.
The post-debate shift away from Joe was quicker than the whiplash that killed Dale Earnhardt and I haven't seen a Dem yet admit they were manipulated by bullshit. Joe was perfect one day, mentally compromised the next day, and on day three Kamala was universally regarded as the best candidate for President. Fuck the primary! Kamala is your candidate. Shut up and vote like the obedient sheep you are!
Small wonder minorities and the middle class are shifting to Trump. The middle class NEEDS a voice in government. Wealthy whites in self-perpetuating protected industries like academia and government don't have that same need. They don't feel the pressure of an economy in decline because they live in protected systems. And so wealthy whites vote for systemic stability from establishment candidates the DNC plugs into the system regardless of the will of the proles.
Middle class folks have different needs than most of the Dems on this forum. No matter how loudly the DNC screams that the orange man is going to take eggs out of their basket, the fearporn rings increasingly hollow. Regular folk need a system that listens to them and responds to their concerns. The current Democrat machine is not doing that. They're told if they don't vote for "Joy" they're racist. The threat of being called racist becomes pretty fukken meaningless when the government is not listening to their concerns about things that actually matter.
tl;dr It's hard to be a culture warrior when you're hungry and cold. The Democrat party has forgotten that and that's why this election is shifting toward Trump, whom as Bat said, should be an easy candidate to beat.
