    There’s no point. GOP voters are either sheep or people who compromise morality and character for personal gain.

    True progress would be escaping the two party system so voting for a candidate who checks all of your boxes had a chance. But let’s be realistic- it’s a rigged system now where it’s a binary choice.

    That also describes the gentleman you were supporting a few weeks ago before his handlers saw he couldn't win. I don't want to call you a hypocrite but you voted for Biden and Trump and now you are trying to act like your choices are so superior?

    I agree with you there. It's a shame, because you can eliminate the most extremist far left and far right ideas with a sensible middle ground. It would be nice to have a government where politicians compromised more and worked together, instead of trying to make the President look bad, by voting no all the time to policies that are actually beneficial to our progress, well-being and growth. I just don't have hope for anyone but a Democrat or Republican winning an election in my lifetime.

    Biden was never a pathological liar. Nobody has ever come close to spewing the BS Trump does. He's a crook! A liar!

    Yes, I voted for him years ago. Big mistake! At least I smartened up. Trump disgusted me as President with his nonstop lying. Then, everything he did after the election disgusted me 1000 times more. There is no way in hell I could ever be so die hard of a Republican that I would vote for a pathological lying con who spits on our laws and Democracy to be trusted with our nation's secrets again.

    You can call me whatever name you want, but at least I stay true to my values of voting for who I consider more trustworthy, more law abiding, and more capable as our President. I don't throw my morals out the roof to vote for anyone who puts themselves first, country second, and certainly am not voting for a criminal.

    I wish you the best. We disagree but it's not the end of the world.

    Millennials to Zoomers.

    Back in my day, we had elections that didn't involve one party constantly running Epstein’s best friend.

    LOL. Don't cry too hard when your orange idol loses. The guy you pretend not to like, but want to win so bad it's obvious.

    Doesn't matter. It is about turnout. If the Democrats turn out their vote, Trump has not chance. That is what happened in 2020 vs 2016.

    Especially the young voters, they outnumber everyone else combined and lean heavily democratic.

    My antidotial evidence says the opposite. Just like when Hillary was declared the beloved and anyone who didn't love her was a deplorable. I knew a lot of moderate deplorables at the time. They had no love for Trump but couldn't stand her. Let's skip over the whole host of other bullshit gaslighting.

    What is am seeing is a whole lot of moderates are not afraid to claim they support trump. This is very different from 2016.
    I am finding most moderate to middle democrats are not advocating for their team, but will vote Democrat because of well... Trump (let's be honest. Any republican) the TDSers are dying off but still alive and annoying.
    This doesn't mean either are winning. If Harris can get up in front of a million people and have a civil conversation about politics and doesn't embarrass herself, she wins. People want to see her off script. There are some who are afraid we might get another Biden debate night... not that we want that at all

    The only thing that will be like the Biden debate is that Trump will stand there spewing lies again. I wonder if he will spew out more per minute than his last time. He can't stop himself, that's for sure. He's just a fraud and lying con.

    This is just a reaction to the glorifying beatification of Kamala by the mainstream media.

    Once she talks, and if people really pay attention, the honeymoon should be over.

    LMAO, spoken like a true defender of the babbling old pathological liar. People have paid attention to him. They say he's crazy, babbling bizarre and ridiculous stuff, forgetting names, having moments where he can't pronounce words, and showing signs of dementia. He's unfit to serve, because he can't speak the truth.
