The point is the overwhelming majority of folks are MAGA true believers. A good chunk of that 70% voted for Trump, not because he convinced them hes a good president, but just as a vote against the status quo. They'll support a better option for that if there is one presented.
Half of half of half is not anywhere close to a majority.
It's enough to change the result of an election.
Yeah because the status quo was worse than what's going on now. 🙄
Americans are morons. There's no reason to believe they'll support a better option. They already didn't in 2016 and again in 2024.
Well, '16 other option was an arrogant, self entitled, self serving, rotten cunt. Who made the decision to stay married to a philandering prick just for political cache.
But enough about Trump.
And should we talk about his personal life?
To clarify, I do hate Cheeto Chimp.
I meant a better option than Clinton or Harris. The dnc are incompetent.
Is there any grassroots movement for an alternative?
Again, American voters can't just sit around and demand a better option without putting the work in.
All of the media we have used in the past to do such things, starting with Obama, are being controlled by propagandists. Twitter, Facebook, reddit. Theyre making it harder to not just be surrounded my propaganda.
Yes!
