    When you elect an opposition party that doesn’t actually oppose anything, every issue that concerns you is in jeopardy, yes. Further, I wouldn’t trust someone who built their career on locking up nonviolent drug users en masse to care much what happens to you or your family.

    They certainly don’t care about mine. My eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash, in a car I lent them, and that’s the only thing separating them from homelessness and starvation.

      Fake news. Harris had a high conviction rate for nonviolent drug offenses because she was allowing them to complete a program instead of serving time for a guilty plea. She had great results for reducing recidivism rates.

      Sure, the war on drugs itself is a problem, but Harris wasn’t locking people up for nonviolent drug offenses; that completely flips and mischaracterizes her work as a DA.

      But you’re just sea lioning anyway. I look forward to seeing how you move the conversation to another Russian/Chinese talking point in your inevitable reply.

      And Trump will increase their taxes, reduce Medicare, reduce social security blah blah blah. He has stated as much. Those I’m pretty sure will impact your parents.

        And Harris will stand by and make excuses when the same things happen under her watch. We know this because that’s what Biden and Obama have done.

        So what’s the point?

        I don’t know how much failure it’ll take before Democratic voters start to realize they should make different choices if they actually want change.

          Biden and Obama decreased Medicare coverage? Decreased social security? And everything I’ve commented on?

          Checks notes… That’s a no.
