    I never thought he was a “good” choice per se, but I live in a very economically deprived state where we all basically suffer here, we just help each other. He made a lot of promises he didn’t keep, and a few were specifically geared towards us. He betrayed a lot of people.

      You thought the candidate who made 30,573 documented lies during his first term was the guy you could trust to keep his promises ?

        It is what it is, I hate how it’s went but another couple of years and we will be in the same boat again, no matter the party affiliation. Hopefully the next one is able to rebound everything.

          Well, given the trend, we may not have another election.

          Trump thinks elections dont have to happen if he says there is a war.

          No rebounding is going to happen for many presidential terms. It’s much easier, and faster, to destroy than to build up. The damage to investment and trade relationships being done, and the dismantling of worker protections and support for industry and job development, is going to take decades to reclaim.

            This is the really depressing part that people really aren’t understanding. We’ve had bad leadership before, but none that have done this much irreparable damage in such a short amount of time with effects that are making the entire world worse for the foreseeable future. But yeah, Harris would have been the same /s
