I went to the gas station before voting yesterday and a redbull was $4 and a small bag of chips $3. I knew at that point there is a good chance that Trump would win.

I don't understand any logic that suggests Trump would improve this situation.

😮‍💨 point to the biden policy that would please. Then point to the harris campaign platform stating how she'd fix it. In fact harris took steps to signal she wouldn't fix it by not committing to Khan.

Neither candidate was going to fix it. So whats next in the list?

They were doing more than Trump will.

And even if neither of them would fix it - how is that a reason to vote Trump?

Edit:

That's been the logic problem through this entire election.

Yes, Kamala dodged right when many of us wanted her to dodge left. I get that, and it frustrates me as well.

But on ANY issue where they were equally bad policy-wise, how does one look back and forth between Trump and Harris and go "Well, clearly Trump"

Folks act like for any tossup issue between them the obvious advantage is with the racist, convicted felon, rapist, demented, shitbag. Somehow Trump just has to be on the same level as Harris to get the nod, but Harris only does if she miles and miles better on an issue. I just don't get it.

And she lost the lack of self reflection that has inspired in you is why this will keep happening.
