    For most of this race it was between two candidates who clearly are in cognitive decline, and both sides insisted we all vote for their brain-damaged guy as a moral imperative, completely unironically.

    Then Kamala came along and for the first two months of her campaign, she insulted our intelligence by insisting we be joyful, when tens of millions of Americans are working 2-3 jobs just to fund the bare minimum of essential living needs. (And the polls seem to reflect how displeased people are with that.)

    You’re absolutely right that I don’t think much of my fellow citizens. What reasonable person could?

      Insisting we be joyful? Someone sure has main character syndrome. Some people ARE joyful about her. I’d that’s not you, that’s ok. But other people having hope is not an insistence that you join.

      All of which is irrelevant. This is America. You have two choices and vote for who you hate least. I’d you don’t vote, or vote third party, then implicitly you’ve voted for whoever you hate most. The system is rigged and you can’t escape it.

      tens of millions of Americans are working 2-3 jobs just to fund the bare minimum of essential living needs . . . I don’t think much of my fellow citizens.

      I commend anyone that has to work multiple jobs to survive. I’m not sure what point you were trying to make, but it didn’t land.
