maybe you should try to live at 2000$ a month in nyc while renting. you will quickly understand why so many didn’t vote or voted trump after hearing peak cringe & farce from dnc for months. ii am very sure they wanted to shoot harris every time some celeb endorsement was thrown at their face. but keep living in your bubble if ignorance.

Harris was the path of things slowly getting better. Wages finally overtaking inflation.

Given a couple years, we would all be in a better place.

Trump's tariffs will drive up the price of everything. The last few years of inflation and greed will pale in comparison.

we are still on orange bad pivot rather than discussing we(dnc) need to become better. and harris has only shifted right with each day to election, dnc wouldn’t have given a fig about inflation or genocide once their strategy of “so what, not like you have an option” had succeeded 2nd time.

i wouldn’t be surprised many of the rage bait posts mocking inflation everywhere rn are superpacs attempting to divert attention from actual reforms in dnc.

Don't worry I'm sure the billionaire convicted fraudster who hasn't divested from his NYC real estate will reduce your NYC rent prices. He would never use the presidency to enrich himself and his businesses. What was that about a bubble of ignorance?

[–] shadowfax13@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

anger is not ignorance. harris lost because no-one wanted to vote for dnc but still most did because the alternative was trump. enough people who voted blue in 2020 didn’t care for her bullshit and with time the percentage of people fed up with both parties is only going to increase because oligarchs will rather burn the country than make precedent of empowering working class.

the current situation will look like a dream when we start having mass riots everywhere because most liberals still care more about their lifestyle luxuries rather than others necessity.

I don't have a dog in the fight; I live elsewhere, but it's baffling to see voters vote for someone who actively caters to the corporations and rich that exploit the average American. Criminal record and very questionable ethics aside, choosing to elect someone to pour more gas on fire doesn't seem like the right solution

but there is no alternative for us. dnc does the same while lying to our face. the horrifying genocide in gaza showed people that dnc is also pure evil thus negating one thing they had going for years.

miller and blinken have laughed at journalists questioning gaza while harris compared genocide to grocery prices that infact have more than doubled in last four years under dnc. they basically gaslight us on every issue and deflect any criticism as “orange worse, we are your only choice peasant”.

they have actively sabotaged any political reform weakening the two party system and this time they even ran a mass smearing campaign vs green party. they are the same as gop but with a different marketing strategy. if anything dnc is worse as they pretend to be saint while pimping for megacorps & burning kids for few millions of aipac money.
