I’m wracking my brain and heart trying to see what kind of work will manifest this “not again.” Voting blue seems very amiss.

When Trump was president we couldn’t leave our houses because of COVID. We had riots in some cities. He was separating children from their parents at the border.

For me specifically things were going so bad at my company that we had daily meetings just to talk about how shitty things were in the world. They told us to do as much work as we could but it’s understandable if you can’t concentrate.i have never experienced that before In my life. That’s what I don’t want ever again.

Maybe things were fine for you but that shit sucked for me.

I’ll be honest, unless you were in a special circumstance, that sounds like a you problem not a Trump problem. I didn’t and wouldn’t vote for him, but for most people he did not affect their day to day that much. 2020 was the peak of actual influence on daily life, but I don’t think that had as much to do with Trump as people imply, either. The whole world got Covid. The US had a bit more deaths per capita than the rest of the developed world (less than UK) but it also has a less healthy population in general.

I think we all sort of trained each other to fixate on the president and be anxious if they’re not on our team.

Is it difficult to live every day with a mental illness?

Heh. And you’re not deplorable! What a lovely assumption, but if someone had say, GAD, surely this is the reply to make them vote for the covertly fascist over the overtly fascist party. If someone had mpd, bpd, surely this is the answer to turn away the wrath and violence of j6ers.

I’m sorry you’re so devoid of imagination, you can’t imagine establishment D with zero personality won’t lose to the cult of evil personality, not imagine a viable solution.

I wish you peace and healing.

Dude. I hate emojis here, but all I can say is

🤦‍♀️

E: no, there’s more I can say. Start with these lists:

What Biden Has Done – Year One

What Biden Has Done – Year Two

What Biden Has Done – Year Three

And then get back to us about how voting blue doesn’t help. Christ.

It’s too bad that not giving weapons to a genocidal government is not on one of those lists.

I will never vote for anyone not currently involved in calling for a cease fire ever again.

Not that it matters though, support for Biden has fallen to single digits among Muslims in the swing States, whose numbers are required to win those swing States.

If stopping Trump was so important, why did Biden through it all away to support a genocide?

Unfortunately in our current election system, voting for the lesser evil is what we have to do.

Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote strategically in the end. So is the curse of our first past the post voting system.

And do what you can to help get the people who want to do positive change in your local elections into office. The only path to ranked choice voting is getting enough support in the states, there’s very little chance we’ll get it on the national stage without it becoming a reality on the state level.

How old are you?

There’s literally never been a good position on the fucking decades long Israel conflict that will please people. Most people smart and/or old enough know to stay the fuck out of it. It’s a meme, for fuck’s sake. There was a Rick and Morty episode about it several years ago, that’s how much of a meme it is now.

If you’re judging Biden by that, you’re obviously too young to remember the last time this volcano of shit erupted. Maybe look at other issues that impact American’s lives that don’t have to do with inane fantasies about Armageddon.

Have you tried taking a loan out on anything lately? Minimum 8% interest rate for someone with the best credit score imaginable. I know doctors and engineers who refuse to buy a house right now because we had an incompetent senior citizen decide to hand out free money several times when the country was shut down and burn money on pointless foreign conflicts that we have absolutely no business being in. This country was prospering when Trump was in office and it will when he’s reelected next year.

Interest rates are high because of inflation. It’s high in Europe as well.

Do you know the number one reason inflation is high? It rhymes with “Shmutin invading Ukraine”.

What? Trump handed out more stimulus checks than Biden. Then there was the whole pay day loan fiasco that was rampant with corruption and fraud with absolutely no oversight.

Did you read through those lists?

That’s a seriously myopic response.
