    It's very simple, and if you could put your bias to the side when you read my posts you probably would have gotten it by now. Kamala is carrying the baggage of a failed Democrat administration.

    I should also say that "evil" isn't the right word, we're really talking about choosing between two bad options.

    Trump has a good chance simply due to the circumstances... mostly inflation and the state of foreign affairs (wars). Part of me thinks if Trump weren't so pedestrian in his manner he'd be walking in. But, then again, that's what his base finds appealing.

    You can cheer-lead for Kamala all you want, but the race is tight and cheer-leading only goes so far. Some people like sweet, some sour.. but everyone likes food on the plate and the Democrats just haven't been delivering.

    Just my 2 cents.

    My two cents:

    The only reason trump isn’t in jail for treason is because the Republican establishment has protected him.

    inflation is a tricky problem and certainly isn’t biden’s fault any more than Covid being trumps fault. Both happen to have happend during their respective administrations.

    economic growth was strong under both.

    illegal immigration surged under Biden because Venezuela is having problems. Any attempt to fix it has been blocked by republicans (at trumps request)

    Afghan withdrawal was following an agreement that trump made.

    abortion is a personal belief but we don’t know where trump stands.

    Trump believes the election isn’t fair if he loses; but it is if he wins. Kamala will accept any results.

    Trump will give large parts of Ukraine to Russia. Kamala will not.

    the reason trump has a good chance is because the establishment has protected him throughout all his illegal activities. (So much for being an outsider).

    it’s clear to me whose the evil one and I weep for this country that 70mm people don’t seem to care (even as they waive American flags every chance they get).

    Trump wants to expand the death penalty to non-murder crimes.

    This in a country that executed an almost certainly innocent man yesterday.

    The Comfort of Complaint

    They’ve never felt the biting cold,
    That creeps beneath, relentless, bold.
    Nor known the hunger’s hollow ache,
    That leaves no peace, no breath to take.

    Yet still they weep, and still they cry,
    For fleeting woes that soon pass by.
    Their lives are soft, with light to spare,
    Yet find their solace in despair.

    They’ve never faced the fear of lack,
    Or borne the world upon their back.
    Yet draped in ease, they wear the mask,
    Of suffering they dare not grasp.

    Their trials, mere whispers in the wind,
    In courts of kings, they'd not begin.
    Yet still they beg the world for grace,
    Blind to the burdens others face.

    You're not refuting my argument. You're just repeating your beliefs.

    So we disagree, who cares?

    I did.

    I refuted your argument about the economy. I also refuted your argument about the mess Biden was. And about why trump is a “walk in”

    If you say so. Yet for some reason his approval rating is still in the toilet... hmm?!?!

    Maybe you didn't let the rest of the country know yet? Better start making some phone calls. Lol
