Imagine if Americans, men and women, weren't political morons with the education of a 4yo.
Seriously, living in flyover country the average person is so much more fuckin stupid than you think. The average American adult is incapable of critical thinking and is functionally illiterate. I knew people were fuckin dumb twenty years ago in school but holy shit it's so much worse now.
I think it wasn’t as acceptable to be willfully ignorant back then. Stupid people were shamed (rightfully) into silence in serious discussions. But now we have a president who speaks at a 4th grade reading level, so dumb fucks feel free to screech about everything, whether they have a modicum of understanding or not.
When I read things like this I believe it.
As if the professional managerial class doesn't have their own intellectual short comings when it comes to politics. For a group thet despises Marxist Lenninism, they sure love being the vanguard
Imagine if america wasn't concocted by literal genocidal enslavers.
Where people are raised on total bullshit from birth. there's zero surprise that their "leaders" are pure garbage.
Education of a 4 year old, but the malice of an 80 yelling at his neighbors kids for touching his lawn.
Imagine if a candidate, looking back at four years of the cost of living exploding, were willing to prioritize the people who are working 100 hours a week to still be homeless over her president's ego.
Vance is going to be in that same position here in a couple of years.
It's a good thing we voted for someone smarter than that, and didn't just file our vote under "I don't care", right?
She talked about rising costs just about every chance she got. It was debated in the Presidential Debate. It was part of her stump speeches. Everyone knew it was the main thing voters were focused on. It wasn't a secret. These took 5-minutes to find.
Yes, but it takes even less time to not look things up and default to whining instead.
Holy hyperbole. Who the hell is working 100 hours a week and is still homeless?
You'd actually be surprised but that's not the point. The issue is that guy's take is full of shit, Harris' platform did specifically address the affordability crisis but a shocking number of Americans are stupid enough to actually believe democrats and republicans are the same in spite of all evidence and so we get dipass takes like that.
This is the thing that makes me more depressed about the future of America than anything else.
This is not some ambiguous thing. There are MOUNTAIN RANGES, SOLAR SYSTEMS, GALACTIC REGIONS of evidence proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that both parties are not the same, but a terrifying number of Americans still believe it. Because they can't be bothered to sit down and do their homework.
These people do not exist in reality and I'm not sure what can bring them back to it.
Yeah I mentioned that in another reply to this same guy - she actually had policies to help these specific problems. I don't remember exactly what they were but there was one to help first time home buyers and another to help with grocery store prices.
