I remember Hillary doing really well in the debates against Trump and she still lost.

Yup debates really don’t matter. It’s all about bananas and gas prices and those are gonna keep trending down.

The problem is that the narrative won't reflect the downward trend or the strength of the current economy in the world. People will still parrot the talking points of inflation and recession regardless of reality. The summer travel season of Americans this year is one of the busiest we've seen in years. People who supposedly don't have enough money for bills are traveling in record numbers. Yet, the narrative is still that everyone is worse off. Facts went out the window long ago. The major news outlets are totally complicit in keeping this bullshit narrative alive. My neighbor bought 2 brand new vehicles in the last 6 months and insists that the economy is horrible under Biden. It's insane. People are insane. I see Trump winning the EC and losing the popular vote. It hurts to say it, but I'm not going to be caught off guard this time. It's better to prepare for the worst than to pretend everything is fine.

Almost like reality doesn't matter. People will make up any narrative that supports their feelings. Just vote guys. Fetterman is right here. Everyone needs to chill and don't abandon ship. Biden is still our guy and he's surrounded by a competent administration.

Trump is still a wannabe dictator! That debate changes nothing unless we let it.

I mean I'm still voting for Biden but these swing states will be razor thin again and that was abominable. Trump is a raging forest fire headed for us and the best we can do is a guy with a squirt gun. Give me a break jack.
