    Nah I’m boycotting this election as we skipped having any sort of primary. Democrats need to learn. I’m getting tired of thinking voting blue no matter who makes long term changes. It’s been a long time coming since Bernie was cheated

    Also I wasn’t a fan with how Marianne was treated after Biden dropped out

        Like literally. “Oh the democrats will learn from this.”

        Like wtf no, you never get a real primary with a sitting president. This won’t change anything, you’ll just help to elect Trump.

            I think you underestimate how many on the left and how many independents are boycotting this election cycle. This isn’t the same election as 2020.

            Lefties in particular are sick of the genocide we are seeing under Bidens leadership, and his mishandling of the economy.

              Gaza continues to be extremely unimportant to most voters in this country. There’s a huge perception gap for the few people for whom it is a primary issue – they regularly think significantly more people care about it than actually do. It routinely ranks last or second to last among 12 issues in Harvard IOP polling even with the age group that cares the most about it (democratic leaning, college-educated 18-29 year-olds).

              The Gaza issue isn’t moving the needle for Harris much one way or the other. If you can’t even get the people to care about the issue, don’t expect it from politicians.

                You say that but the election is close. Anything that moves the needle matters, especially for on the fence/swing voters

      If the MAGA movement succeeds there isn’t going to be another election. Republicans want to takeover our democracy and replace it with a christo-fascist dictatorship. Trump wants to jail his political enemies. The Democrats might learn their lessons while in the death camps but they won’t be able to act on them.
