SO GOOD! Not sure whether to laugh or cry, but chose the former.

Or a bunch of anti-plague citizens couldn't bring themselves to vote for a pro-genocide candidate. Even in a two-party system, it's overly simplistic to reduce the options to the dispassionate support of one candidate or the other.

Sometimes people simply won't pull the lever to divert the runaway trolley. Not because they think the larger number of victims should die, but because they can't morally participate in system which is inevitably going to crush people for no good reason.

This one is a miss. Dems did everything in their power, *while they were in fact in power*, to block anti-covid measures, end tracking, dismiss and criminalize masking, slow-walk vaccines, and quash reporting on any of it.

I think this election defies easy explanations, including the ones I gravitate to because they align with my own values. In this current media environment, I'm not sure any policy difference would have actually changed the outcome.

have you thought considered the possibility that, in fact, a large amount of the country is politically stupid?

On the Media (NPR) has been digging into the increasing move away from traditional media giants. I don't think any "reliable" news source has done a great job putting burgeoning differences in media coverage to light til their past few episodes this November 2024.

I think that I literally do not understand the news/fact deserts that currently exist interwoven across the US populace. But, those people vote with what they see.

Can't imagine this election was about policy. Seems obvious to me it was straight up misogyny and racism.

Big Lie and LGBTQ scapegoating was what won the election. People were certain we were in a recession, even though the economy was booming.

This elite-serving, bourgeois liberal misread is why the Dems deserved to lose and will keep losing. Dems didn't offer "not plague", they are the plague and plague defenders and spreaders just like the Republics. Dishonest, corrupt, genocidal, moderate-fascist, pro-Zionist, pro-Nazi, pro-imperialism, capitalism lovers.

“I did my own research.* Did you know there have been no studies for the last 20 years—ZERO—linking plague to negative health outcomes? But lamestream media won’t cover it.”
