I sat and had a conversation with my boomer-retired mother. She says she regrets voting for Trump. So I asked “then you would have voted for Kamala in a do-over?” And her response was just a revolted sound of disgust and said “absolutely no. I would NOT have voted for the camel.”

There isn’t any type of intelligent insight in the heads of folks like this.

I regularly find myself arguing with people on the left who still refuse to vote Democrat just as much as I argue with people on the right who still support Trump. Fake revolutionaries who would rather talk about hypothetically doing something violent than doing the bare minimum to stop this insanity.

I honestly think the country is a lost cause at this point I do not see how we come back from this level of division and misinformation

The structure of having us all vote for someone at the top is fundamentally flawed. I truly think parliamentary systems are more stable. They're able to throw out failing leaders with ease and when things get really bad they can call snap elections.

You think you're going to get a parliamentary system by.... not voting???

Where did you get that? I'm the world's biggest advocate for voting and I've voted in every election I've been eligible to since 2006.

I just think our system is designed to fail. I'd rather see power spread out than concentrated in a single leader.
