Idiots like me have one vote each, same as you and Umm. If you fail to win us over, you are going to lose.

Sure, but if you recall, this comment was about why the rest of the world will hold the US at a distance, even after Trump is gone. The voters cannot be trusted to learn from a mistake. We as a voting block have shown that while some of us are willing to think about character, others are willing to put trust in a known liar who tells them eggs will soon be cheaper. Collectively, Americans will no longer be considered dependable to think past their next shopping trip. Like it or not, we all lose with Trump...and possibly irrevocably.

Believe it or not, (probably you won't), Trump has charisma.

And he is smart and knows how to make "good TV," which along with social media seems to be the way to sway about half of the American voters. Trump is who he is. You have to be a critical thinker to see around the smoke and mirrors he uses to coerce you to support him. Our nation seems to be lacking in this.

Biden or Harris were no match for his personal appeal, which is what matters the most in politics.

Harris screwed up big time in choosing Walz over Shapiro. IMO the outcome would have been different with Shapiro, who present much more as a leader than a jolly fellow. The whole "joy" thing was a poor choice when running for POTUS. Heck, I'm not sure it would play well for class president. But at least she wasn't a lying felon.
