She doesn't care about you, though.
She's made that abundantly clear. She's a capitalist.

Kinda disagree. People don’t believe what anyone says nowadays. Just make trump look like a moron.
She's on CNN right now, taking questions in a town hall that Trump shit himself to get out of talking about her policies.
If it's this close, two weeks before the election, with all the experience the country suffered under the last Trump administration, and the active threat Donald Trump poses to all life on earth, much less our entire Democratic system of government, I've got some very bad news for y'all
Dang, Trump is now a threat to all of life on earth? Man you gotta settle down with the rhetoric.
To provide a different view, it's actually reassuring to know that a lot of people who never voted before or cared to vote in the first place are out voting for her now because their rights were taken away (Women). At my early voting location, it was PACKED. I assume a lot were Trump, but I felt good seeing so many women there, alone. It might be that their rights and autonomy being taken away were good enough reason to get them out there to help bolster her campaign. They could've also voted for Trump, but that goes to show they're either malicious (against women, even if they think they're not), or they didn't bother to pay attention to the world around them for the last 8 years now. Those types of people will never be converted or helped, so they're a lost cause. It's good to feel hopeful though, and I am hopeful.
As a side note, I got two of my friends to vote for the first time in their lives, and it was good to see them get excited. All of us don't want another Trump presidency, because unlike most people here in my state around us, they actually remember how fucking terrible it was under his awful "administration".
I am not reassured that after allowing Trump to assume office, with all the checks and balances inherent in our Democratic institutions, the least of which not being the Electoral College confirming an obviously unqualified and dangerous President Elect, two weeks out, from a Presidential election, it is now a statistical tie between the destruction of Democracy, and salvation in the form of anyone fucking else as President. I don't know if I will ever trust our elections or form of government again, ever. But I'm glad you're reassured. You know who doesn't have that privilege any longer? The over 1 million Americans who died from COVID during the last Trump presidency, due to a purposefully sandbagged and inept global pandemic response. But again, overwhelmed with joy that you're reassured.
I understand your frustration, but that was due to people becoming complacent, running a candidate that really had no personality and basically came off as "I don't have to try so hard, look at this fool. I've got this in the bag!" which in turn left a lot of potential voters at home, because they may have also felt like she "had it in the bag", or turned off potential voters because her personality dripped with "I deserve this term!". Our system is broken, don't get me wrong. I know this. That's why I tried my hardest to provide people with information, show them the way that Trump uses language that sounds smart but isn't anywhere near so, and how that can be used to manipulate emotions to overwhelm logic.
Needless to say, there were a lot of reasons we got Trump in the first place. The best we can do now is educate people, call out traitors who support him and/or his ilk, and try to get others to see logic instead of headlines and fake polls or statistics.
They also said a "red wave" would happen in 2022, and it did not. Don't lose hope just because the news wants you to think it can't be anyone but Trump, as that's what the billionaires that own those stations want you to think so you lose out on hope! Hope is dangerous to authoritarian governments!
She is. It’s just that the media can’t get profit-generating eyeballs and clicks from her policy speeches, so they amplify only the salacious things.
Bernie was great about getting a random question and saying "I don't wanna talk about that, I wanna talk about how the top 1% yadda yadda yadda."
Trump gets plenty of play in the media, it would be nice to hear something different.
Good adivce. Kamala does talk a lot about working class people already. Take a wild guess at what parts of Kamala's tens-of-minutes-long rally speeches are most covered by news headlines.
Poopy diaper boy makes them money. It's the same reason they haven't been saying "republicans tried to overthrow the government" every day since 1/6/2021.
Or that they're very literally planning for exactly that again
Ain't that the truth. I've watched her live, she talks about middle class needs so much people literally make fun of her for trying to connect over her middle class upbringing. But the news runs the Trump stuff.
