People like that have never and will never apologize or even acknowledge any wrongdoing or misplaced trust. They'll just ignore and move on like they always do. They'll (accurately) count on our collective goldfish memory and tendency not to rock the boat. Just another "shrug, oh well!"

Both sides are so compelling, I don't know who to believe! We should hear from every corner before we make a decision.

That sounds horrible and solidifies my decision to leave. I'm grateful you're keeping an eye on these lunatics because I don't have the stamina to do so.

Those are all excellent. I'd also add:
-more gerrymandering in Dem's favor
-abolish the Electoral College
-abolish the Senate
-expand the House
-ranked choice voting
A boy can dream, right?

A wannabe authoritarian uses unfounded crime concerns as a pretext to take over a capital city. Liberals point out that weapons are dangerous and other developed countries have reasonable laws and fewer problems with said dangerous weapons. These things seem the same to me; I am very smart.

I don't understand why anyone is acting like "their" candidate is inevitable at this point. Putting aside parasocial relationships (which are weird), why are so many eager to anoint someone who alienates the left at the drop of a hat? No faith in anything other than moderate nonsense that has failed

Not necessarily, no. She was a worse candidate just going by results, but Bill was bad, too:
Don't ask don't tell, NAFTA, welfare reform, deficit reduction by cutting programs, the crime bill that worsened the police state and whose one good thing (the assault weapons ban) expired... not great

Hillary engaged in racist rhetoric against "super predators," was hawkish enough to make John McCain blush, had proxies use racist attacks against Obama, and was a black hole of charisma whose message was essentially that she deserved it and anyone who disagreed should be crushed.

Well, misogyny was certainly a huge factor, but it wasn't the only one. Same with Kamala. Just chalking it up to one factor is overlooking the candidate's weaknesses.

I hear you, but I don't get what's so great about Hillary. What leftist (or even adjacent) project has she advanced? How are her politics substantially different from Bill's? Personally, she is less problematic yet less charismatic and lost a primary then a general. At least Bill won twice!

I'm saying that for many people, leaving is just not an option at all. Money is a big reason, and starting over in a new country is just generally extremely difficult. Plus, if good people leave, then mostly bad people will be left and they'll make the problems worse.

Some people can't just move, and if those who can leave do, then things will get worse. We have to stay and fight.
