  • He is, I don’t know what you are on about. He has to actively fight the active flood of news, social media, and propaganda that says men are terrible and that if you don’t bow at the alter of Kamala Harris then you are a racist, misogynistic, homophobe. I guess all those married white women, black and Hispanic men are now all racist, misogynistic, and homophobic.

    Or…. Working class people are tired of having their intelligence insulted and life put at risk so that upper class trust fund babies can complain about pronouns, because that’s whose vote the democrats tried to win over. I watched the debate, followed Kamala on social media and all I know about her positions are “Trump is stupid”, “Tariffs are bad”, “pronouns are important”. And people are suffering and struggling to buy eggs. maybe don’t throw your voter base under the bus to highlight the importance of drag queen story hour and Kamala would have won. Or…… maybe the dems could fucking learn to hold an actual primary and democratically elected their party nominee. Kamala is unlikeable and even more unrelatable. A Bay Area upper class woman with a “holier than thou” attitude would have lost to the pile of dog shit in my back yard. A blue collar worker in North Carolina doesn’t want to be told that he is an idiot because he misgendered Demi Lovato and couldn’t possibly understand the struggle they/them have been through as they try to shut down another small business for no reason in their multi-million dollar home in California.

    The department of education provides funding and some guidance. How do they provide this funding? Based on test scores and student success. The department came about in 1980 and since has overseen the. Largest decrease in American literacy. The main reason is because they made schools “teach the test” in order to secure funding. While the roots of our modern education system go farther back to “create obedient factory workers” we have seen it erode even further under the DoE. Want to know when college prices started to grow out of control? Wow, surprise it directly correlates with the DoE starting to fund student loans! Broken clock right twice a day, blah, blah, blah



  • Kamala Harris state has the lowest test scores in the United States as well as the lowest literacy rates, I don’t think education is going to change that much. Public school education in America is just a glorified baby sitting gig, it’s trash and will remain trash. Those who are lucky enough to go to college and get a real degree will be the only beneficiaries of American education





  • I’m fortunate to be well off, but I used to be below the poverty line in my city and qualified for social assistance (which I didn’t know about until a coworker told me). Having been in most of these voters shoes a little over a decade ago, I can tell you that don’t care about trumps rhetoric, he can stand there for an hour blathering non sense, but at the end of it he will say “I love you, I know you are hurting and I’m going to fix that”.

    Then a long come the democrats telling these people who are living paycheck to paycheck or still in their parents house that they are privileged racist ass holes who could never understand what is like to struggle as a rich minority woman from California. Then the most unrelatable person in the world gets chosen to replace Joe Biden and rich democrats and dumb ass celebrities like Cardi “I brag about how I used to drug, rape, and Rob men” B start telling working class men that they are stupid and racist if they don’t vote for Kamala.

    A lot of people couldn’t vote for a wannabe dictator, but they also couldn’t vote for someone who despises their very being.
