Hillary Clinton recently made headlines by telling voters to ‘get over yourself’ when it comes to the upcoming Biden-Trump rematch. As someone who is also planning to vote for Joe Biden in the upcoming election, I am inclined to agree with her sentiment, despite the backlash she has received for her statement. It is important to recognize that we are faced with three choices in this election: Biden, Trump, or allowing Trump voters to once again decide the outcome.
While some may find Clinton’s approach to be condescending or disrespectful, I believe that she raises a valid point. The divisive nature of our current political climate necessitates a sense of urgency and unity among voters who want to see a change in leadership.… Continue reading
It comes as no surprise that Donald Trump’s support in Gen Z has taken a significant hit. The numbers from the polls are quite telling, showing a decrease from 55% in February to 35% in March. The fact that there was even a substantial portion of Gen Z supporting him in the first place is baffling to me. What could possibly have appealed to this younger demographic about a man who embodies everything that is wrong with humanity?
Looking at the overall support for Trump across all age groups, hovering around 47-48%, it’s clear that there are still a significant number of individuals who continue to stand behind him.… Continue reading
The recent tragedy of the ship crashing into the bridge in Baltimore has once again highlighted the ugly, hateful response that MAGA and the Republican party are known for. It’s become a pattern that whenever something bad happens, instead of coming together as a nation, the Republicans use it as an opportunity to attack and blame Democrats. The level of vitriol and hate that is spewed out by these individuals is both disheartening and exhausting.
The sad reality is that the Republicans seem to thrive on division and chaos. Instead of offering solutions and working towards progress, they would rather play the blame game and spread falsehoods.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news regarding Senator Lisa Murkowski signaling openness to leaving the GOP, I am struck by the significance of this potential decision. To see a longstanding Republican figure like Murkowski express regret over the direction her party is taking under the influence of former President Donald Trump is both telling and concerning. The fact that someone of her position and stature within the Republican party is considering such a move speaks volumes about the current state of the GOP and its relationship with Trump.
The idea that the GOP is “seemingly becoming a party of” Trump is not a new revelation, but it is one that continues to ring true as we witness the ongoing influence of Trump within the Republican party.… Continue reading
Joe Lieberman has died. His passing brings forth a wave of mixed feelings and reflections on his political career. The former Senator from Connecticut was a polarizing figure within the Democratic Party, with many viewing him as out of touch with the values of his constituents. From his infamous surrender in Florida during the 2000 election recount to his opposition to the public option in healthcare, Lieberman often found himself at odds with the progressive wing of his party.
Connecticut, a state known for its Democratic leanings, seemed like an odd fit for Lieberman’s more conservative approach to governance. His decision to run as an independent after losing the Democratic primary in 2006 further alienated many of his former supporters.… Continue reading
The ‘Great Resignation’ continues as another GOP representative exits, marking a trend that showcases a disheartening reality within the Republican Party. The sentiments expressed highlight a chaotic, inefficient, and ineffective majority in Congress. The departure of members from their own party serves as a glaring indicator of a deep-rooted issue within the GOP, with Trump often being cited as the core problem leading to this mass exodus. The toxic political climate perpetuated by the former president has driven a wedge within the party, creating a schism between the old guard conservatives and diehard Trump loyalists.
The concept of Project 2025 and the far-reaching implications it holds for policies related to social security, LGBTQ+ rights, and safety nets like school lunches, only adds fuel to the fire.… Continue reading
Joe Biden leads Donald Trump in eight polls. It seems like a glimmer of hope in the midst of political chaos and uncertainty. As I see more and more individuals of influence distance themselves from Trump, choosing not to vote for him, it makes me question why anyone would continue to support him. When even those close to him can’t stand by his side, it speaks volumes about his character and his suitability for office.
The reality is that national polls do not determine the outcome of the election due to the Electoral College system. It’s the swing states where the focus needs to be, as seen by Biden trailing in most of them.… Continue reading
I have always found it perplexing how millions of GOP voters still support Donald Trump despite his controversial and divisive nature. Losing by 7 million popular votes should have been a wake-up call, a signal to be more inclusive, but alas, that bridge was burned down in hopes that enough of the team had already crossed over. The fact that so many GOP voters express dislike for Trump yet still vote for him speaks volumes about the complexity of party loyalty and political allegiance.
It is disheartening to see that history has shown Republicans consistently coming home and voting for their nominee, regardless of personal reservations.… Continue reading
I never thought I’d see the day when Nikki Haley’s donors would switch their allegiance to Joe Biden over Donald Trump, but here we are. It seems like a smart move on their part, considering Trump’s dismissive attitude towards their support. Trump’s strategy of alienating those who could potentially support him is baffling, to say the least. It’s almost as if he’s trying to lose this election, though we all know that his erratic behavior and questionable decisions are just par for the course.
What’s interesting is that Trump’s supporters often seem to lack concrete reasons for backing him, aside from criticizing Biden.… Continue reading
right? The evidence is out there, plain as day. The fact that there are still individuals who need convincing is mind-boggling. But then again, when you have a cult-like following, it’s no surprise that some individuals will refuse to see the truth, no matter how glaring it may be.
The numbers speak for themselves. A significant percentage of Republicans believe that Trump is guilty of a crime, yet they still plan to support him in the upcoming election. It’s a baffling contradiction that speaks to the deep-rooted tribalism and cognitive dissonance within the political landscape. How can one acknowledge someone’s guilt and still throw their support behind them?… Continue reading
