    Both sides are trying to throw the election this year.

    It’s unfortunate to think one of these sides will win because everyone was scared that one of these parties will win and voted for the other. The idea we have a two party system is essentially a self fulfilling prophecy that we fulfill at the society level (if that even makes sense).

      Trump will get Hillary’d

      He’s not as inspiring as the news and polls wanna force him to be. He couldn’t win the first time and literally has only lost momentum

        I agree that Trump isn’t as popular as he used to be. He ran on the “it’s like we’re the minorities now” bandwagon and that isn’t a phrase I hear out here in urban or suburban Midwest anymore.

        It doesn’t help that they took rights from their constituents. I think it surprised them how much backlash they got for the anti-choice stuff.

        This election is iterally the last election but worse because both of these candidates have lost so much popularity.
