As my straight white female 30s friend (were in vermont so it’s inconsequential) said: “I can’t afford another four years of this. I did better under the other guy although I hate him.” When I asked her about reproductive rights since she’s a straight woman of childbearing age she said “we’re protected in vermont. If that changes I’ll change.” (We have a state constitutional right to abortion here)

This woman doesn’t hate queers, she doesn’t hate minorities, the only thing she hates is inflation making her work harder for less and less.

And then there’s the wars. Biden/Harris royally fucked up. the billions we send to Ukraine and Israel are deeply unpopular with average people who see rising homelessness and increased natural disasters and shitty government response to it (we’ve been hit hard in vermont with massive flash floods and landslides from rain bombs, it barely makes the national news). The American people are hurting and our government is pissing away money on foreign forever wars. Even with all the insane pro Israel propaganda to the point that our free speech rights are threatened over it, people still don’t support it.

Don’t downplay inflation. That’s how Harris lost in the first place.

Can you believe the democrats spent this much money and still lost as badly as they did?! It blows the mind!

Because they exist to protect their corporate benefactors and popular policies don’t allow for that

Maybe this isn’t such a bad thing since the EU had better data privacy laws?
