Voting red, 3rd party or not voting is what had pushed us farther right.
False, and I predicted it in September 2024, when Kamala Harris' entire campaign was a meme about joy. What's driving people to the right is the fact that they don't have the time, energy, or money to do anything other than work three jobs for 100 hours a week and still can't afford to rent an apartment. Blue MAGA has done just as much as Red MAGA to make this our reality, or have you forgotten how Obama stood by while the NYPD brutalized Occupy and declined to prosecute any of the bankers in 2008? (And instead rewarded them.)
Many of these people are old enough to remember when the world wasn't like this, so not only are their lives empty, but they understand what's been taken from them and are hopeless.
The only people who care are DSA's, and Democrats have fought harder against DSA's than they do against Republicans.
