Trump is bat shit crazy.

You just had a deal to address some of the issues on the Southern Border, a big issue for Republicans, and the democrats were very reasonable and actually let conservatives draft the bill, it was all set to pass the Senate until, your guy trump told the very same Republicans to turn on themselves and KILL the bill.

The democrats brought healthcare to millions, and the republicans not only never came up with a plan during the trump era, but they want to get rid of Obamacare in favor of nothing.

Please tell us what the hell Republicans have done during the past 10 years, the past 20 years, except very special tax cuts to the very wealthy that resulted in throwing the American economy into a tailspin in 2007-08, causing millions of Americans to lose their homes. Please tell us that during that trump era when the covid pandemic hit the world and America trump was so irresponsible toward everything to stop it. Instead, his policies ended up shuttering the American economy, putting millions of Americans out of work, and then borrowing trillions of taxpayer money to give away for free, mostly to the wealthy.

So, established - the choice between the two main parties will be a bitter pill to swallow (from these polls as you well illustrate)

The lessor of two evils is also a good point notwithstanding the don't vote out of fear argument if

One sees like a Chris Hedges the systemic problems of a "captured democracy by Corporate interests".

Set's up the conundrum - vote for Jill Stein if she get's the nod this July and give Trump another vote by default.

What are you going to do?.

It sounds like you want to vote Dem because you keep bemoaning the Dem this Dem that like some unrequited love.

I doubt they will be able to come over to your way of thinking in time. Would you compare notes of the two main parties and see who goes the furthest in
Anti-Monopoly Anti-Trust legislation?. What does your scorecard say to you at this point?.

Trump doesn't register on my scorecard. I do see your point that he represents a sort of boycott and populist movement for many. A dismantling of Institutions. Draining of the Swamp. Shirley, you must see thru that - he wasn't draining anything; just replacing with more larcenous players.

This is a good post that needs your considered opinion: https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=173823292

You insist on making statements that can't be backed up by reality.

They don't get why we got to where we are and now, more importantly, after 8 years of what is called the Trump era, why the situation hasn't changed.......

Situation NOW:

We ARE currently post pandemic on the heels of a successful Covid vax rollout; less successful among Trump supporters. The unemployment numbers are much lower than predicted a year ago when a recession was predicted by many.

New job creation stands at a record 14M and counting. Inflation down and trending down. Oil production at all time high. Stock market at historical highs. Credit a bipartisan Infrastructure Bill....the Senate approved a $1 trillion package to improve and modernize the nation's aging infrastructure through a bipartisan 69-to-30 vote. And the Chips and Science Bill, also as bipartisan as it gets, passed the Senate 64-33

Appears to me that the Dems were listening AND that the situation has changed.

Now, the abortion rollback. Was SCOTUS listening to the consensus? GOP governors? Are the Republicans paying attention to the voting returns on the issue? I'd say the abortion issue HAS changed, to the chagrin of the GOP.
