    I’m not an american, but man did Kamala and Biden look washed up as fuck. The same thing is happening in Europe/Romania too: washed up politicians that are tone deaf to the majority of people and then are surprised pikachu face when they lose. It boggles my mind almost no one comes up with (and is LOUD about it) things that favor the middle/working class.

      And Trump isn’t tone deaf? Hillary was tone deaf, Kamala and Bidden were not.

        Trump is at least a showman and it showed that a lot of people are braindead enough to believe him. This coupled with the apathy of the other part (afaik Kamala had fewer votes overall than Biden) got us here. The democrats, as with many other parties over here in Europe are fucking afraid to SAY THINGS OUT LOUD. I don’t know if that’s because they consider themselves too god for it or not, but it’s disastrous. Here in Romania the former president had less public appearances in 10 fucking years than the interim one we have had for the past ~2 months and we were on the verge of electing a russian puppet mostly out of spite.

          Trump is not really a showman, he’s a shambling corpse with zero charisma who needs to rely on saying the most bold-faced lies to generate any enthusiasm among his voters. All of the hype around him is manufactured.

          People basically just support him because he has an R next to his name, because he “tells it like it is(n’t),” and because capitalism has brainwashed people into believing that businessmen should run the world. That, and he was a white man running against a colored woman, which gave him the racism votes that America still has in spades.
