Lead poisoning is known to make people dumber and angrier. It seems the boomers got the bulk of the lead poisoning in America. To me, this explains the behavior you’re talking about 🤷. I have no other theories. I think they’re all just brain dead from lead poisoning dude.

This Biden protection is crazy. we need a candidate who actually stands a chance against Trump. this is insane. It’s 2016 all over again.

If Biden gets out of the way (of his own accord or not) and somebody else becomes the nominee, they will have name recognition immediately. I promise you.

I think part of our different view might be based on how our electoral system is.

So to explain: Trump’s never won a popular election before. Even when he became president, most Americans voted for his opposition Hillary Clinton. We have a very gerrymandered and corrupt voting system to oversimplify. Because of that The main decider for presidential elections is voting turnout. If a lot of people come out to vote, the Democrats usually win. If they don’t the Republicans win. Voter turnout is higher when people want to vote for the Democratic nominee. No one really wants to vote for Biden. Most of us will vote against Trump myself included. That being said, if we run a very unlikable candidate against him like we did in 2016, he might win and that’s terrifying. This election is serious so we should take it seriously and run somebody likeable and not half way to being a turnip.

God forbid if Biden stays in there, I hope he wins. I’ll even vote for him but I am not feeling good about his odds.

That is how public perception works. Anyone who became the Democratic nominee between now and the election would instantly be famous. Their name would become a household name within a week. There’s no real way to prove this, but it just seems silly to think otherwise.

Most Americans do watch the news. The link below is a statistic just about cable news. If you included digital news, the numbers would be even higher. Here’s my source 👈😎 But as you can see 72% of Americans watch cable news.

I hope that helps ☺️

I hope you find a way to be happy one day stranger. It’s got to be miserable being that angry all the time. 🫂 I don’t think you find the release you need being rude to strangers online but where ever it actually is I hope you find it.☺️

Did you see the debate last night? That ain’t the dude who ran in 2020. Also I think the political pressure pot of 2020 was unique because people were trapped inside and forced to watch the news even more. People would have voted for anyone but Trump then. There’s still a lot of people that feel that way myself included. But not everyone who felt that way in 2020 feels that way in 2024. That’s just the reality. I really don’t think Biden has it this time.

My bad Thanks for letting me know.

I totally get that sentiment. I don’t really understand it either. I have family members that votes for Trump. It’s like their brain is rotted. They constantly use words that they don’t have a definition for like woke or CRT. They think everyone is lying except for Trump. It’s terrifying honestly.

I think that’s about 30% to 40% of Americans sadly.

I also attended a small private religious conservative school growing up. Happy to see someone like me out in the world with progressive politics. Good on you stranger. ☺️ I hope you’re living life to the fullest.

That explanation makes sense to me. Good theory 👈😎
