I've just come to the conclusion these days that you need to just take every little bit of joy you can find in this life. Causes are folly and usually take from you in some way, shape or form (though as football fans who are we to judge?) The rich will always exploit and the poor will suffer from the exploitation and it's not changing in our lifetimes. The planets probably fucked and at some point ww3 is going to hit so we have that to look forward to as well. There is literally nothing you, I or anyone on this board can do about it.
America was fucked the moment Biden decided to run again if you ask me. It meant there was no Democrat selection process and Harris was fucked due to her association with the previous term when parachuted in. If Harris had somehow won it would have been by microscopic margin. Trump and Maga would have kicked off and America would have torn itself apart. Would possibly already be in civil war. Trump wins though and does Trump things...... I can understand why many think civil war seems to be in the post.
Had the Democrats actually gone through the nomination process because Biden had not decided to pursue a 2nd term I think Trump could have lost. They would have been able to put forward someone who was untainted by the previous administration and possibly even fit to stand for president and it's been a while since you could say that any candidate was.
Well done Joe
