    What makes me angry is their “example voter” asks “I’m left on immigration, tell me about the candidates”

    1. Dumb basis for election. Only impeachment will stop wanton murder and overreach on fascist show of force roundup of everyone tanned, and deportation to gulag host countries.

    2. Congress will not create new legislation, though at best perhaps there will be some media circus over ICE abuses, and some conditions on funding which Trump will ignore.

    3. gpt response is detailed support of Trump for GOP side, with zero information about Dem candidates or possible outcome/curtailment of Trump determined abuses of existing legislation.

    I’m angry at both how stupid low information the voter is, regurgitating GOP “election focus issues” that are irrelevant to surivival, and have zero impact on WV, and the response that doesn’t cut through the irrelevant BS of that election issue to compare individual candidates. Only balance of power party supermajority in house can overcome BS.

      I really hate how sometimes the low info/ “independent” voter is catered to in so many discussions, too.

      Like someone is totally vindicated of all their responsibility in treating politics like there really aren’t any stakes but their personal whims.

      You’ll hear people proudly talking about their decision to opt out or vote for donnie. Because they were not just tickled pink by the Democratic option. Because the politician didn’t meet some arbitrary bar, didn’t say the right things on one particular issue, etc.

      It’s not like politics is some kind of artisanal hipster bullshit that need to cater to the whims of some nebulous “independents” that are just dying to withhold their vote like they are some special bespoke creatures unlike any other. 🙄
