The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don't quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

    Vance salvaged his favorable/unfavorables and appears at par w/Walz

    Chat is this real?! What the fuck? Walz seemed like a pleasant person - the only pleasant person of the 4.

      I dunno about 'pleasant', the guy was very much status quo on Israel/Palestine

      I do agree that he is the least terrible out of the 4, but that's like being the strongest person in a room full of toddlers

        I apologize if this seemed like an endorsement of the guy. I'm still shocked that people would look at him and JD Vance and go "either one is fine"

        CHYNA BAD bullshit, too, with the claims that he was there during the tiny man rectangle massacre.

          And then getting caught out on his lies during the debate and stumbling around like he'd just caught a haymaker to the head making it worse and worse.

        He seems human enough that hte libs project the relationship they want with their fathers on time, would be the best I could phrase it.

      Walz is mostly to blame for that by treating Vance like a normal person during their debate instead of hammering him over being a fucking weirdo

      Turned out, people apparently can recognize that pleasantless for what it is, the thin powder upon the syphillis. Too bad both kind of syphilis have their supporters as syphilis but still.
