I used to mainly vote third party as a protest vote for both sides to do better. Didn’t matter the party, really.
I voted for Obama out of genuinely wanting him in office. I thought he was decent overall but he did disappoint me.
I voted for Biden purely to keep Trump out of office. Even so, I think Biden has largely been a better President than Obama was, though the Gaza/Israel thing is really testing that. I would love to have a more progressive choice, but any time I am disappointed in Biden, I just remind myself the alternative and I would crawl across a mile of broken glass to vote for him.
So I would anecdotally say this election is outside the norm.
New baseline?! I have often gotten the feeling that you are an adolescent. It would explain so many of the shitty hot takes and bad ideas. But this really kind of solidifies it. Being young is not an insult however. We all were at one point in time. And we all matured and grew up.
This is so not a new thing though. Trump is literally Reagan part 2. And that’s just within the last 50 years that’s not even mentioning Nixon or all the others that came before him. The truth is this is been the way it has always been. It sucks that so much of the energy of youth is wasted tilting at windmills. Instead of actually understanding and working to improve things. Actively demotivating non Republican voters in an effort to get the Republican candidate to win. That sounds like a real good way to improve things.
It’s not just that people don’t like what you have to say. It’s that you don’t actually respond to what’s being said. Or have anything to actually offer to a discussion. And calling anyone older than you a boomer is such a juvenile thing to do. So you are at least proving my point I suppose.
Dude… why are you always rewriting everything anyone says to you? Is it because you know it’s obnoxious? Is it that you are trying to agitate people into losing their resolve and saying something you can report them for?
Because nowhere did they say anything they made you the victim you’re trying to be here.
They simply said that your points of view are incredibly naïve. Which would be the result of being young and inexperienced with politics and its nuance. Having said that… They could have just said that you are an ignorant brainwashed troll, but they didn’t. Because they probably believe this isn’t the case.
Dude… why are you always rewriting everything anyone says to you?
It’s called paraphrasing. I tend to do it when I’m on mobile. It quickly becomes an awkward pain in the ass to go line by line and quote the condescension and abuse that centrists use because their ideas are indefensible.

“I don’t like what you’re saying, so you must be younger than me and therefore wrong” is the most boomer take ever.
It’s not just that people don’t like what you have to say. It’s that you don’t actually respond to what’s being said. Or have anything to actually offer to a discussion. And calling anyone older than you a boomer is such a juvenile thing to do. So you are at least proving my point I suppose.
I didn’t say you were older than me. I said you were acting like a boomer.

No, it’s not paraphrasing. It’s purposeful misunderstanding so you can either victimize yourself, or build a straw man.
You’re not as clever as you think.
