Great thoughts from #[0]​

I typically vote democrat (although not sure how I’ll vote for anyone going forward if I’m honest). I also live in Massachusetts, which was a heavy lockdown, mask, and vax state. Many progressives and democrats have come around to the reality that the gov’t went a little too far, vax weren’t really needed for most healthy people, and lockdowns were pretty intense and unwarranted. But in this political game, society has a short-term memory and both parties prefer that when it’s convenient for them.

I don’t think you’ll ever get a “yeah we were wrong” from them. And my biggest frustration is how democrats, who should be staunchly against the power and wealth of pharmaceutical companies, were just intent on shoveling money and authority to them at the drop of a hat.

The craziness in our political space is what continually drives people towards conspiracy theories. Both sides seem like caricatures of what they used to be.

Trump seemed like the lockdowns were being forced on him. And yes, democrats seemed like they couldn’t stop pushing the pharmaceutical industry “in the name of science.”

Overall, I just don’t see how Biden and Harris were chosen as the future of the party. It seems like the next election will be a battle of the primaries.

I feel the next election will have trouble convincing America why they (either party) should be trusted and how it even matters. Also, D’s and R’s seem to be absolute shit at getting good nominees

I’ve always found it amazing that all of the precautions are blamed on the left, but Trump was President while the shit hit the fan.

That’s true, it was a systemic government intervention thing. But also at the individual state level things got shady

Yep. Shit was shady from top to bottom. The media certainly played their role, too.

He was trash talking it while everything happened. But you’re right, it happened under his lead.

It’s almost like he was presenting the opposite to the mainstream media to redirect people from what was actually happening.

“Lead” is a strong word to use to describe anything Trump does.

This is true.
