    Their excuses are baffling. Harris didn’t have policy. Okay, but Trump did? He kept walking about “concepts” of a plan, and lying about wanting P25. Trump is for the people? He is hanging out with, like, the national league of assholes and duchebags. “Harris was scary.” BUT NAZIS AREN’T!?

      People were offered center right(D) and extreme right®.

      I voted for least worst harm reduction(D), but would have voted for AND campaigned for extreme left.

      To the hopeless, especially the engineered ignorant hopeless, extreme often seems better than the status quo that keeps you in your hopeless state.

      Our oligarchs starved public education both to cut their taxes and make their workforce this ignorant. We blame our stooopids for being so stupid, but the owner class that segregates their children into private schools they do fund destroyed public education on purpose, to ensure we can’t universally use critical thinking and identify their economic class as the root poison that has destroyed our nation.

      The only reason a fascist, extreme right is even allowed and funded by our owners in this country is because fascists love crony market capitalism, the very same reason we aren’t ever given a true leftwing option, because whether centrist neoliberal or fascist Republican, they put the market’s owners first, and the owners can and do attack any candidates that threaten to reign their power in.

      Which is why we’re irrevocably boned, and will continue to have the choice of capitalist exploitation with scapegoats® and capitalist exploitation with rainbow flags(D) until collapse, as the owners of this system demand capitalist exploitation as this system’s primary function, then let us vote on how to address the symptoms it causes, if at all, to make us feel in control.

      Reagan was the last chance to maintain any actual control, and we gave it all away for the false promise of golden showers of prosperity in return… one day… just keep making them money… any time now… Just assume it’ll be five minutes after your body fails you from laboring for them.

        promise of golden showers of prosperity in return

        Trickle down. We got golden showers, just not the kind you’re describing
