The former Republican governor said that he was backing the Democrat because a Trump victory would mean ‘four more years of bullshit’

    How the hell is this election even close?

    I understand the sentiment, but I think it’s obvious why this election is close. Harris fucking sucks as a candidate. Apart of whether or not people should vote for her, she’s a coward that refuses to take a stand (or even make promises) on literally anything while actively alienating two significant demographics in the swing states she needs to win and opting instead to get the five or so swing voters that exist in America to vote for her. If Trump was slightly more competent she’d have had no chance.

          I’m not American. Could you elaborate? Is this your personal experience as part of said demographic(s)? I understand if you don’t wish to disclose that. I’m just curious as this election will affect me nonetheless.

            Not American either, but the stats are clear that these two particular demographics are not okay with the current situation.

              But — but surely they recognise Trump supports them even less? Apathy overpowering self-preservation is exactly what they want.

                It’s a bit of a lose-lose situation. Vote and you tell the democrats that you’re fine with the bullshit they’ve been up to the last four years, including nominating a candidate without a primary. Don’t vote and, well, you get Trump. Now logically it might make more sense to vote anyway, but these things don’t follow logic except very roughly.
