sadly, RW nutjobs being elected is more of a global problem. I'm talking about Trump specifically. The US has had a decade to watch this guy up close. He has always been a racist narcissist, but since being elected in 2016, he's overseen 4 terrible years in office, he completely botched the pandemic, he staged a ####ing insurrection, he was convicted of rape, he was convicted of 34 felonies and so on and so forth. Even a tiny fraction of that would have killed the career of virtually every other politician. And yet, we're still looking at the election as a toss-up because dozens of millions Americans see all of that and say "you know what, sounds good to me! Better than a woke leftist, amirite?" I'm tired of people looking at Harris and go "meh, she's not
that good of a speaker" or "meh, her plans are not
that specific" and so on. There's still completely different standards applied to the two candidates, just like in 2016. It's insane.
And yeah, the electoral college should be abolished too, but that's obviously not happening.
