While I've honestly been trying to tune out the election shit, I was streaming the world series feed (through completely legal means I can assure you) from a Fox station in Florida. Much to my dismay, I was completely bombarded by these ads saying Trump supports amendement 3 which would legalize weed in the state. I scroll on social media for like 5 mins later on and I see this fucker on Joe Rogan.

Its a pretty clear attempt at targeting independent socially moderate/liberalish fiscally conservative independent bros that, honestly exist and could decide the election if its close. All while Kamala is really leaning into winning over "dick cheney democrats" that dont exist outside of focus groups in the beltway.

Im calling it now. Trumps winning again.

    I think it’s not that complicated.

    She is choosing to side with her corporate political donors over policy that supermajorities of Americans on the right and the left agree with.

    Neither Trump nor Kamala care about actual policies that help voters. They care about donor money over everything else.

    Trump literally publicly does quid pro quo….. Kamala and all the other corporate dems and republicans do it slightly less obviously. Republicans are way worse on this issue in general, but it’s only a matter of degree.

    I don’t think republicans run on any actual policy other than tax cuts, but it’s a great political message to say that you stand with legalization
