I certainly don't think it's impossible that Trump will win, but I think you are underestimating how tired so many people are of the man.

And that's totally fine. I live in the world where Biden botched the Afghanistan withdrawal, leading Putin to invade Ukraine. I live in the world where under Biden inflation soared, where illegal immigration has run rampant, where a man elected to try to be bipartisan chose not to be.

I also live in a world where Harris was so terrible in 2020 that she bowed out before even getting a single delegate. You only have enthusiasm for Harris, why? Because of her track record in California locking up how many individuals for marijuana possession? Or is it because of the 90% turnover of her staff in the first three years of being VP? Or is it because of her calls for an immediate cease fire in Gaza? Or maybe it's because you believe in the first <insert sex><insert race> individual?

Or is it really only because she has a (D) after her name and is not Trump. Honestly, Trump would probably be better for international relations, the economy, and for our border.

But the reason we probably live in different worlds is that I do not get all my news source from one point of view. I still go to the NYT, WSJ, and The Economist, and a couple of cool substacks (Nate Silver, Noahpinion) for my news.

I am very tired of Trump. I have been tired of Trump since 2015. But Harris is a joke of a candidate. Come back to me when it's Whitmer or Shapiro - someone with true leadership skills - as the Presidential candidate.

For my part, I have no issues with Harris' failure on the border, because I don't care about it. - 24/07/2024 07:28:55 AM 168 Views
And why don't you care? Is it because you feel your job is not threatened? - 24/07/2024 11:16:43 AM 175 Views
