the most accurate possible statement of average us political participant
A lot of us here can't help that we were educated stupid
Yeah a lot of the world thinks we’re proud to be stupid but reality is we’re uneducated but told we’re geniuses.
Like not in the Mr Rogers “have self worth and believe in yourself” ways but in “Murican are smarter and tougher than any of those foreigners and our country is better because we’re free here and other places have rules and they steal from you” and when you do that to literal children for their whole lives then it’s hard to crack the programming; their fucking neurons grew in that way.
And have never travelled internationally so they can see with their own eyes that other countries have it much better.
It's so sad and depressing that the only thing that moves the needle and makes the average Unitedstater react is the price of gas.
Obviously they're not invading other countries and killing innocent people for nothing. Who cares about other people, kidnappings in the streets, turning against your allies, as long as they can get cheap gas, there's no problem.
Maybe the US is due to invade another country with oil, to keep its population happy.
Rule of thumb: economic issues beat social issues almost 100% of the time with US voters
Eh, it's not something unique to the US. People will always prioritize economic issues over social ones no matter where they are. Pretty hard to care about other people when you're struggling to survive yourself. It's just human nature.
Let's throw em a curveball with a politician who promises free gas and free abortions 🫢
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.

Nu-uh , we were mad about the price of eggs last election.
in their defence (which they deserve only a little of, but it’s worth it for the understanding) their whole country beats them down so much that they barely have the energy to think about the next roadblock in front of them. they have to be active participants in defence of their life, daily
lots of them voted for that, but even that is often because they’re brainwashed af since they’re born
Maybe we should change our infastructure to not be so dependent on oil to get to work or go get groceries in the first place? Once we and the EU do that, we could just completely get rid of any diplomtic ties to the middle east and just let the middle east fight, protect, and govern itself
Venezuela?
median voter
Where?
Middle of the freeway, duh
A Republican hasn't won a Senate seat in Michigan since 95. I doubt in this environment with Trump candidates loosing in double digit safe seats that he really ever had a chance.
Yeah but man…I’m still worried.
I will be so fucking proud of my state if we elect El-Sayed. But I won’t be able to rest easy until after the election.
This is why I think the Democrats could have run a cardboard box or Vladimir Lenin's ghost in 2020 and still won.
As long as it was white and didn’t have a pussy.
