The problem is people have voted for ice cream. They have read about people voting for ice cream for years before they were even born.

Lots of people want ice cream but we are at a point where people KNOW the cliff exists. They DO NOT know the ice cream shop exists because all the times they were PROMISED ice cream the bus just stopped at a sewage treatment plant.

The voters are not the problem. They have zero reason to trust the bus driver. Because the bus driver refuses to throw the cliff voters off the bus. Bad optics.

New distraction coming right up. Are we done using fentanyl and migrant caravans? /s

China wants USA stable and sane. Weak or strong USA isn't a priority right now.

People tend to forget how afraid China is of USA. Last time Trump was in office Milley had to call China a couple of times to tell them USA was not going to implode and attack China.

Someone has to make hard decisions when other people won't make sane decisions. No one wants Trump to start WW3 with China. No one.

Remember what just happened when China hit the off switch on rare earth metals?

No Republican politician thought this was a good idea. Not one.

Every single Republican that voted for it thought it was profitable for them.

When Chuck kept getting quoted saying it wasn't popular he was not talking about the American people. He was talking about his coworkers who job is to serve the people.

I'm not talking about who did what.

I'm talking about people who don't know what damage was done and the extent.

If they knew, and actually cared, things would not be as bad and getting worse.

No you didn't. :)

Very good point.

They have a rep for being a good company and over the years that has helped them a lot I think.

Worth noting that people still have no idea how much damage Trump and Republicans did the first go around.

Sounds like... they have not made it worthwhile though...

How does Costco make charging their customers to go grocery shopping worthwhile?

It's not an argument. That is why you are confused, don't understand, and insult.

Yup.

You don't understand what they are saying. You don't understand what I'm saying.

You are the problem. Not some Republican politician whose lie you don't understand.

Yup. Do it because I said so will work on some people. But not enough people to get a Democrat in office.

People are tired. They don't see an incentive or a reason. That's not a voter problem. It's a problem for whoever wants them to vote for a specific person.

They need to go the Costco membership route and make it worthwhile. Arcades went out of business for more than one reason.

“The Republican Party, as many of us know it, no longer exists,” said one source, who asked not to be named. “We do not recognize ourselves anymore in Trump’s administration. There is a strong movement out there in the party to reclaim the values we were raised on and reclaim the middle ground.”

Translation: "Omg can you believe this leopard is eating my face? Now that I'm personally affected by my own stupidity I want to be friends with Democrats!"

Give them a reason to vote and they will.

Republicans gave 77 million people a reason to vote for Trump... the 2nd time around... after a global pandemic.

Ever notice how people will use any word but Republican when talking about Republicans? It is not an accident.

Competing interests. It's not about support it's about what do they get in return for their support and most of them the most important thing is promises for their next reelection. Then mony.
