It was a system never intended to be a Democracy.
It was designed to balance the needs of a bunch of oligarchical states so they could act as a cohesive unit. They are the bourgeoisie version of the HRE or Greek City states. Instead of the nobility, it was white, wealthy, landowners.
I'd say on foreign policy alone Trump is a potential minor improvement.
Trump has no political loyalty beyond himself. He could absolutely be convinced to pressure Israel depending on the media cycle. 99/100 he'd end up being about the same but there's always the off chance that his idiocy leads to a good outcome. Something like demanding other NATO states contribute to Israel and then blowing it all up when none of them do. He's unintentionally contributed to de-dollerization and a weakened America Empire.
Harris knows exactly how the sausage is made and she's an full-throated supporter. She will never have a better outcome because she is ideologically committed to the worst outcome.
Find a group, do small talk, do the group activity, mention the stuff you're doing on the weekend, invite them in a low-pressure way.
If they go, you made a friend. If they say no but express polite interest, maybe offer once more next week. Otherwise, keep the small talk and move to the next person.
How hard is it to say "I still think it's a bad idea but the rest of the bill is worth the cost." Instead she tries to defend both positions.
I'm not judging, vote however you want.
As for me, well I'm voting 
.
Exactly, the Democratic Party is loudly stating to the left "We don't need your votes to win so fuck off" and then reddit libs scream bloody murder at people for not wanting to vote for them. If you have a problem with the left abandoning Kamala, maybe talk to her campaign who has written them off as unnecessary?
I'm glad I don't live a swing state so I can vote whoever I want without it effecting things.
Because he was the first in a while to really give red meat to the base. Smarter Republicans view him as a necessary evil in order to rile up support. Then he presided over a relatively okay economy and gave financial support during the pandemic. Most reps view him as a reminder of the pre-pandemic economy who actually tried to appeal to the base. This was done through racism and social issues of course but that's enough.
There's also something to be said about his anti-charisma. It's like the McDonalds dinner for the football guys that twitter liberals went crazy over. Even though it was pretty weird, the average person still likes their McTreats and liberals shitting on it makes them seem out of touch. Donald Trump's weirdness and anti-charisma reflects the average American. Every attack on his weirdness backfires and mainstream liberals are too brain-broken to try to convince people on policy.
He broke their brains in 2016-2020 and now he literally can't do any wrong because people hate to admit they were wrong.
Does anyone know a legit source of Kufiya? I'm been trying to get one but they're either out of stock for weeks at time like Hirbawi or probably bogus.
I'm half considering just getting something cheap off etsy and wait until supply is stable.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS STOP SENDING FUCKING MISSILES AND MONEY UNCONDITIONALLY.
Nothing Trump could say or do, besides him shitting himself on live TV, would have any effect on his chances for re-election.
We've already seen the most atrocious shit, NOTHING HE SAYS IS SURPRISING NOW.
There's a teacher at our college who forces students to write 1000 word essays. Not around 1000, exactly 1000 words or else it's an automatic zero. This isn't so bad until you have to write on paper with a time limit and you have to fucking count it by hand.
Literally just ego-tripping bullshit to get people to fail for meaningless mistakes.
If you refuse to vote for Trump then he won't listen to you after the election. Focus on getting him elected and then protest.
