  • Sure and I get it. I’m not on a yacht to be sure.

    But how do you respond to a nebulous feeling? Biden took millions of loans off people’s shoulders. Kamala was specifically citing lower tax bills and home loan support. The GOP will deliver no such relief.

    I heard time and again the economy is stable - AND people are still struggling. Hell she pointed out high prices and corporate profiteering. It wasn’t ignored.

    That’s where I slam into a wall. Opting for “likely way worse” when “ok but could be better” was on the table.

    Some people just want to watch the world burn.

    But they did because his first administration did nothing to address any of those issues and in fact made them worse. Based on his record their choice (deliberate or no) was to choose demonstrated incompetence and malfeasance instead of moderate change.

    The chicken is too meh so order the shit sandwich?

    But what represents that change when things are quantifiably pretty good? Opting for chaos? Change for the sole sake of change?

    If he was an unknown quantity sure - but there’s recent experience of his first term and it was a shit show. Embracing authoritarianism because…grocery prices? There’s something more afoot. The logic doesn’t hold and there must be a shred of logic in there somewhere.
