Man, we're in a sad state here in the US. "Three-toothed yokels"? It's just not productive. You had a valid, data-driven point, leave it at that. It's perfectly fine to dislike a candidate, hell, it's OK to hate him profusely, but to then disparage anyone that does creates nothing but more hate. Now, you can come up with your arguments about why "the hate is justified" because "Trump did this or someone else did that" -- but is it really? We'd be a lot better off being able to say: I understand your stance, but I just disagree with you and here's why. When did agreeing to disagree make the other side idiots, or evil? We have to know that's the extreme and not the majority. This goes for both sides. Quit blaming everyone else: "Sheeple", "LameStream Media", "Trump is a Nazi" -- this sh*t is out of control.And my point is not about the rest of Nebraska. It's about an educated, largely white metro area that has historically gone Republican or narrowly for Dems. Harris is smoking Trump there. If Harris performs like this in the suburbs you three-toothed yokels can vote 100% for Trump in your backwater hollers and Harris will still win.

What if the poster self identifies as evil?Man, we're in a sad state here in the US. "Three-toothed yokels"? It's just not productive. You had a valid, data-driven point, leave it at that.

I don't know man --we're all to blame -- we're to blame because we are conditioned to love the drama and that's exactly what the news and media feed to us (on both sides) -- we feed the ratings because we want confirmation bias at all costs. I won't for one second claim I haven't done the things I'm railing against, I get frustrated like anyone else, but every once in a while I have a lucid moment of clarity.
Walz needs a lecture on how the Speaker of the House is chosenDear God help us. That would be epically terrible.
"During the live-stream, Walz told Ocasio-Cortez that if he and Kamala Harris win the election, he would make her the Speaker of the House.
"We're gonna win this election. We're gonna make you put a gavel in your hand in the House," Walz told Ocasio-Cortez"

This guy sums up everything perfectly. @lawgator1 needs to listen to this one. It is only 4 mins so tldr does not apply. Democrats created Trump and he ruined them. You can't blame MAGA, blame yourselves. MAGA goes away if Democrats just return to sanity.
