People pooping on the doorsteps of their businesses and stuff like that. This is unsolicited, in the midst of otherwise dull smalltalk. I ask them where else these people might survive, and they tell me they don't care, just not here. Wonder who they voted for?

Yeah, Omar and Tlaib easily won reelection. But how much of their "popularity" has to do w/policy or the fact that they're women and how much has to do w/that, like Trump, they are quasi-celebrity politicians who are more famous for being outspoken than anything else? More power to both of 'em, and I certainly agree w/them more often than I do Trump (and possibly, even Harris) but still...

Bread and circuses, baby!

I originally thought that too, but Hillary Clinton won popular vote. I'm not saying I don't think it contributed, but it's not the only factor. Harris and the DNC fucked up on the message.

I'm not saying this to appear smug. But the messaging was fuckin abysmal. Parading out the Cheney's like it was some kind of big win. I mean this with all sincerity when I say that Dick Cheney is The Great Satan of my adolescent years. I'm from a small town in East Texas. Several of my friends died because of GWoT, either overseas or when they came back home. I lost all hope when Kamala appeared on stage with them.

Who did that appeal to?

That wasn't for us. That was to appeal to people that you and I don't talk to. I don't think she lost any votes with that, as much as we all know that Cheney was the scourge of 1990's American politics and global peace.

Or maybe like I said previously we could have held out another 4 or 8 years but America is showing us what it truly is, and was always designed to be.

Btw Douglas County, CO isn't the correct county where that Aurora scare bullshit went down. It's bland shitbox suburbs, which I'm not at all surprised leans slightly Trump.
