Saw someone blame the concept of “latinx”.
The ‘economy’ is a big thing. That doesn’t mean GDP in this case, but that there is inflation and no rise in wages that follows. When the message from the incumbent side is that things are great actually and you’re wrong if you don’t think so the viability of the policies from the other side stops mattering as much. The big problem is that history didn’t end and neoliberal policy is failing right left and centre all over the world.
Also that Kamala is a historically shit candidate, there is a reason she immediately ate shit in the 2020 primaries.
Good thing they spent all that time trying to pander to the people who voted for the greater evil. It’ll work next time I’m sure.
The true victim of all this is AOC who now has to pretend to care about things again.
Dems were on a roll when Walz came in and they decided to call out republicans for being weirdos. But then they remembered that a strong Republican Party is more important than winning, so they spent most of the election season parading around the Cheneys and begging Bush for an endorsement. The lesson that the dems are going to take from this is to run Mitt Romney next time around.

I can only wish that he follows the example of his rodent brother.
In this case I think the problem is less you being able to read social cues and more the other persons issue. I usually am able to defuse it with a couple of “that’s crazy” or “never thought of it like that” so they shut up about it if they get too into it. It is also how I get through most conversations with coworkers who are deep down a conspiracy hole.
Examples of topics this has become a “deal” for while not mattering at all: Sex club hygiene, web browsers, cars, ski brands, rub on tattoos, cellphones, weed, shrooms, acid, synth music, metal music and sewing.
The mos important election of your life so far. Until the next election.
The thing making it important isn’t the US fully endorsing a genocide either. That apparently doesn’t matter.
