I'm very worried about this election. Discussion/Debate

I've never seen the media engage in such blatant propagandizing before. Despite Kamala Harris being a weak candidate, I can easily see Trump losing this election. I have no faith that Trump won't make this election about himself, just as he did in 2020. In fact, as Ben frequently points out, it's very likely that he will turn this into a referendum on himself.

In my community, which is predominantly evangelical and socially conservative, many people despise Trump. While a number of them do vote GOP, many others vote Democrat, for various reasons besides Trump. However, a significant portion will never vote for him because they intensely dislike his character and personality.

I've never been a fan of Trump, even though I voted for him. He makes it extremely difficult for certain conservative and moderate communities to support him. Part of me even hopes Kamala wins, so we can move past Trump. If that happens, maybe conservatives will turn the page and start fielding better candidates who aren't RINOs or populists. It's just a huge mess.

I felt like in the last debate with Biden Trump actually reeled in his more unbecoming character traits. Compare that debate to his 2016 media run where he was eating everybody alive. No comparison

I'm still convinced that if Trump had been able to STFU in his first debate with Biden, he would have been reelected in 2020.

Nah the media was dead set on him losing and they showed it.

Not even George Bush at his lowest point go treated as badly as Trump has been by the media

When will you accept he was just shitty at his job and failed. Just like everything in his life, from his business to family. Dudes a loser.

This election will be decided in the rust belt.

What did Biden secure with Kamala? A dei pick from Cali to secure the Cali vote?

Yeah, his eye is on the prize. Smoke is still settling from all the big changes.

And the black vote and a lot of the female vote in every state.

I have no clue whos vote Harris secured honestly. Very few people actually like her. Every democrat I know is simply voting democrat as to avoid conservatives dominating the Supreme Court for the rest of our life time.. makes sense to me. Trump had 4 years to save the rust belt and reverse its decline and he did not do such a thing. I recently saw an article back from 2017 about how he’s going to help them and fast forward to 2024 a similar article says the same exact thing…

JD Vance was probably the dumbest decision he could have made for VP. But to his cult of mindless lunatics, it probably doesn't matter. You can literally see it by the downvotes you got for your accurate comment.

That seems like the reality of it

I agree. I wasn't happy with that pick. Trump is probably regretting that pick a little now as well.
