    Dread and hystera, not arrogance. And not American.

    But this is the conclusion: if your country elected such a grotesque caricature of a man, the opposing party should just fucking quit in disgrace. People would rather have a fraud criminal pedo slime than them. When will they realize that?

      They never will, and forcefully pushing them aside will take around 15-20 years, but only if they lose all elections to Trump in that time. At least that’s how it went for Hungary, but that is a country with 1% of the GDP and like 3% of the population of the US, which is also heavily influenced by EU politics.

      They won’t. It’s easier to blame someone else. In EU, even in shittier countries it is fairy normal for leadership to resign when they lose elections, especially so convincingly. And losing elections to fucking Trump should be a sign for everyone to fucking resign. But nope, they think they are irreplaceable.

      While I am absolutely aware that “voting for lesser of two evils” is a necessity, I do understand people who just couldn’t get bothered.

      It is appaling that what Democrats think is “left” is very much right in Europe. There is no left in USA, people with empathy have noone to vote for.

      You can only vote for billionaires.

      While I would always vote for Harris, if I was in the USA I would also be amazed at how scared Democrats are to say no to their sponsors.

      These are not elections. These are popularity contests and reality shows…
