I see your point, however it was far less kinetic a year and a half ago.

The genocide in Gaza started in 2023.
But Gaza is just ONE thing on the ballot! There's more at stake, you guys! Can't you put your incinerated relatives aside for one second and think about how this election might effect ME?
I've hidden it and shall not tell you where.
Gunna have to hear out both sides until we're between a rock and a hard place.
I try to look on the bright side, we get to watch an empire collapse in real time through memes and stupid little videos on tik tok.
Kinda like athiests reading the bible.
Very true, the vast majority of america is right leaning, even diehard dems, as the democratic party is easily center-right as it stands. The left, the actual left, sees they don't even have a hand on the wheel, and the moderate dems were alienated by Harris's commitment to genocide. It doesn't even matter, as the corporatocractic oligarchs are unchanged and unthreatened by democrats and republicans alike.
Of course it can work that way, we just saw it happen on Tuesday. Look at all the votes the dems lost between elections. All those protests, all the people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, all those people asking about cheaper rent and healthcare, those people asking about why there's still kids in cages at the border. Inaction, regardless of the outcome, does not equal support for the victor. But sure, let's homogenize the two major parties and make elections even more of a farce than they already are.
In some competitions, the lead of one competitor is obvious, and they lose because they screw up. It should not have been difficult for the party already in power, with a former prosecutor and career politician, to defeat the former gameshow host with 34 felony convictions.
Harris tried to appease the moderate republicans to try and pull from their pool, but alienated her supporters in doing so.
Against Trump, it was the dems to lose, which they did in historical fashion. They're so quick to blame leftists, or hispanics, or muslims, yet refuse to admit that their shitty policies brought this about.
Whoop, mother died in childbirth. Thankfully we got the cash already!
