Well that part I’m aware of, but that’s more of a slogan rather than a vision. It doesn’t tell what has gone wrong with America and how to fix it. Trump says a lot of things that sometimes contradict each other or may or may not be taken seriously, so it’s difficult to piece together a concrete vision.

They have a concept of a vision so to say.

Do they have a vision? The scary thing about Trump that it’s uncertain what he will do the next 4 years. Will he undo democracy or keep it? Will he continue to support Ukraine or not? Will he leave NATO or not? Will he impose those tariffs or not? Will he apply project 2025 or not? Will he impose a federal abortion ban or not?

Kamala had a clear but boring vision: 4 more years of the current status quo. Nothing new will happen.

It’s like some kind of reverse Poe’s law, when the sarcasm of the outrageous minded is indistinguishable from a sane opinion.

Also Godwin’s law.

It’s a small price to pay to keep pronouns away from our games.

Python is truly a mess when Docker is considered a solution.

Nothing comes close to Perl’s abuse of global variables. Oh you called this function? Take a guess which global variables it will use.

Unfortunately it’s the exciting politics that gets all the attention. Democrats likely lost because they’re just too boring.

Are people forgetting his Dijon Mustard scandal? Unforgivable.

Maybe you’re right that many are truly apathetic about the situation. For me as a non American it’s just baffling that so many don’t use their privilege to vote. The default attitude should be to vote unless you truly feel your vote doesn’t matter.

It’s also difficult for me to grasp that, when given the option between a party whose policy is to defend the current status quo, and a party whose policy is fascism, the attitude is “meh, whatever”. Most people should have an opinion regarding this.

Not all elections need to be about new exciting changes. Boring is also an option.

Or maybe status quo is so bad people don’t care if it’s replaced by fascism. If that’s the case, then I agree it’s fully DNCs responsibility for the failure.

That’s like the same energy of

“Do you want pizza or lasagna?”

“I don’t care. Pick whatever”

“Ok I got lasagna for you then”

“No I don’t want lasagna. I want pizza! Why didn’t you try harder to make me choose pizza?”

American people are responsible for voting for Trump. Not the Democratic Party.

Don’t worry, they will find a way to blame Obama

If you choose not to vote and you’re not happy about the election outcome, well that’s your choice.
