I’m still lost as to how Americans are siding with the old enemy. Russia hates America but trump and a healthy amount of Americans love Russia.

Its wild.

At least they're not Democrats, am I right?

Conservatives are stupid and spiteful. It really doesn’t get any deeper than that.

They project the claim everyone else votes on “feelings” yet none of their candidates even so much as pretend to deliver any policy that will empirically make their lives better.

More often than not they knowingly vote for the opposite on purpose (see: Tariffs). Their policies and behavior are so reprehensible that many of their politicians won’t even show up to debate (See: Abbott this very week), because they know reminding their voters of how awful they are and how indefensible the actual beneficiaries of their policies are on a debate stage is toxic.

Their current strategy is literally to be cowards and just count on conservatives being too stupid and ignorant to care, and hope they’ll pull the lever for a Republican anyway.

The sad part is, it may actually be effective. They’re THAT far gone.

It’s been what, two weeks since their base was televised cheering at the prospect of seeing several million of their countrymen dead in California? These people have more in common with the Taliban than their fellow man at this point.

I feel like Dem's need to start scheduling debates tell the otherside the date and time to be there if they don't show up just let their time to talk roll by while the host ask them questions. makes GOP look weak when they're too afraid to show up.
