While y’all are making your squealing peasanty peasant noises trying to defend your brain dead champion, assuming you’re not being a disingenuous, paid propagandist, have you ever considered that you’re just wrong?

Who is the driving force behind censorship?

Who is the driving force behind inflation?

Who is the driving force behind surveillance and control of the banking system, public spaces, the internet?

Who is the driving force behind transing kids?

Who is the driving force behind illegal immigration?

And I’m not saying that I like republicans any better (I’m not one) but have you ever considered that Trump was already president for 4 years and everything in the U.S. got measurably, catastrophically worse under biden? And somehow you want more of this? Because why? You actually think Trump is a dictator? I’m not even a fan of Trump really, but the idea that he’s a dictator, is on its face, insanely ridiculous.

The other thing to note here - and it is possibly the most important thing - biden is not even really the president. He’s making zero decisions. Some un-elected person, or persons are running this country straight into the ground.

People with common sense usually don’t answer the cell phone for numbers they don’t recognize or identified as telemarketers so that skews the polling right there

Well, they are the youngs, so they will likely revert to the norm of them not voting

I read the article, and I wonder how many of the “swing” voters really aren’t already committed to one candidate or another. Just because someone is not registered with either party doesn’t mean he or she isn’t ideologically wedded to one side or another. Besides, Trump followers love to say how they are independent and don’t vote on the basis of party affiliation, and I frankly don’t believe them.

"I don't think about it very much" summarizes what these <cough> Deciders <cough> do about everything and anything 24/7.

It's blatantly poor journalism and bad math for idiots. The magats don't know math and they think faux fox is journalism. There are a lot of stupid people in the United States and most of them are magats.

Reagan destroyed our public schools and balance in media 40 years ago. Are you really surprised?

Thank you, Don. I have been saying this for (possibly) 40 years! Reagan was a horrible human being. He began the whole homeless crisis by first emptying out the mental hospitals and throwing everyone out on the street.

His trickle down theory was a load of nonsense and just trickled down p*** on everyone. His union-busting and deregulation continued the trend toward the oligarchy we see today.

And they will never, ever quit trying to squash the "unwashed". The better to exploit those less fortunate and keep the ultra rich in place. Effing greedy power mongers😈

We need to do everything possible, not to change their minds, but to get them not to vote.

Also… I hope that women and young people will step up- abortion has them fired up - among other issues!

Haven't you heard that a lot of the youngs seem to think that Biden was responsible for the overturning of Roe. Because he was president when it was decided.

I shit you not, our youngs are a fucking mess.

Lastly I have seen some on instagram and Tik tok that wrongly blame Biden for the overturning of roe- but I swear they are Russian bots or just completely in the minority… because the flood of comments that flow in response to that incorrect assertion is over the top.

My nieces are also really engaged as well as my soon to be step son and daughter who are 15 and 17. He is gay and obviously she is a girl in a red state so she has less rights than she did. 2 years ago. She will be turning 18 just in time to vote this November.

It’s not as bad as you think. They are pretty aware and are pissed off. Even my eyelash lady who is Gen Z is pissed about guns and abortion. Shes not particularly engaged or highly educated, but she sees what is happening and will “vote blue to preserve the rights of her future children”.

I actually have a lot of faith in the youngins.
