    I’m left of centre, and here’s my take - the “left” is fucking up so badly that the right is going to win.

    Ever play a sport and you just trounce your opponent, but the coach says “you weren’t that good! They were just that bad tonight.”

    This is the same thing. Trump and the GOP aren’t doing some amazing job of campaigning and manipulating, they’re just up against the weakest opponent who can’t stop scoring on their own fucking net.

        I do. Where is the good Dem candidate with the platform attacking high cost of living, corporate takeover of housing, backing unions, and looking at funding education, ubi, etc?

        It’s be pretty easy to break this wide open and runaway with the election. If they wanted to.

          Downballot Democratic candidates? That’s where.

      This is certainly a part of it. In a time when Democrats should be uniting and putting forward their strongest faces to protect democracy from the GOP, they keep engaging in political gamesmanship because ‘c’mon look at this clown, there’s no way anyone will vote for him!’

      Only problem is that people have, and people could once more, put this guy in the White House. And if it happens…well, everything’s fucked.
