    I'm sorry that you've got the burden of so many people looking to you for hope, and reassurance, when it seems you're clearly having the same trouble with that as the rest of us.

      Why aren't we talking about the elephant in the room? In absolute numbers, white women are the biggest voters of the republican party and Trump.
      No woman can be elected as president unless white woman voted for the woman. women are the cause of most lynching and suffered no repurcussions for that and till today are the biggest beneficiary of DEI policies. Isn't that crazy? They're the root cause of most issues in the path of progress.

I've seen too much hatefulness, too much darkness to believe in this country anymore. Feeling deep grief for what America has become and for the coming loss of our democracy.

      Thanks. Please know that many of us will NOT like what this is going to do to the USA's friends. Know there are many of us who believe that democracy and freedom for all is the ultimate goal.
      So often people don't exercise their minds... their souls suffer for it... and their ego doesn't want to admit they were wrong. That's what makes it so hard to change course. And I am talking about millions of foolish egos.
      Very few ever have the moral and intellectual courage to admit it when they were wrong... even to themselves. They'll just blame someone else. So, I'm not even hopeful for a peaceful ending to this. I'm just going to try to save the innocents as long as I can.
      I'm trying very hard not to pull the hope out of so many peoples lives. They believe people will realise how wrong they were.

      Harris went from all the momentum, to hiring Clinton's losing campaign managers, and taking a far-right position on crime and immigration and war.
      That is not a platform that represents good people, and why 10% of the voting public stayed home compared to 2020.
      And the Harris campaign knew. Michigan and other swing states were telling them for months, "we can't vote for your platform."
      The response, to one of many states where Biden squeaked by with fewer than 30k votes, was literally "We don't want your vote. Don't vote for us." While to (Black) Men it was additionally "You're an incel if you don't vote for us."

You're not alone.

And then those who voted for Trump the dictator wannabe and the dribble that came outta his mouth. Then there are those of us who voted for change with Harris. They didn't vote for her simply because of racism and misogyny, and the bigotry of it all. What 💯 💯 💯 about Elon musk telling their followers they will only suffer for 2 years, that's preposterous. That's about how long its going to take them to get a good foothold with trumps dictatorship.

By 2022, the right wing had plans and judges to create a win for MAGA. This reminds me of Bush vs Gore electoral race.. Nobody gave a whoop or a whimper.

Even when the DNC flipped the script, we still had that vision, the list of hopeful things and then some that we might accomplish. It was painful to see them not come out clearly against the gen 0 side and for human rights, going repug lite with the Cheneys.
      Regardless. The DNC can't take away that sense of community and support, nor can the take our vision of a better world.

I don't mean Stewart but I sure mean Hillary Clinton and kamala harris. A campaign of joy when people are watching a genocide unfold as 4 years of intense inflation and rising homeless statistics are barely beginning to wind down is probably the most tone deaf thing in the history of politics.
      The I don't know why people don't see how good the economy is bullsplat is a fabulous indicator of how out of tune the party is. After 2016 when they cheated for Hillary to kick bernie out of the primary.
      The party thinks it should decide for the voters who they want to nominate.
      The party is run by consultants who for all I know are in league with the dark money ilk. They sure are out of step with the American left.
