You seem to be regurgitating right wing talking points. I think Fox News, right wing talk radio, and right leaning podcasts are the core problem. They get people to focus on a few narrow issues, give them simple rationales and solutions, and just keep harping and getting people to stew about it. It's weird that you don't realize how many other problems there are which your media sources are not talking to you about, and which you might otherwise find concerning. It's a big world with lots of problems, but you're presented with a few and told that these are the only ones you need to care about. It makes things simpler, but who knows if you might be worried about the wrong things? I guess you may never know. Just by polling, Kamala Harris seems to be about as popular as Donald Trump, and it really comes down to partisanship.

>Just by polling, Kamala Harris seems to be about as popular as Donald Trump, and it really comes down to partisanship. Polls historically lean left and many Trump voters are afraid of retribution and do not talk about their vote. I am one of them - to everyone I told them I'm voting for Kamala. Mostly because I don't want my car tires slashed, job lost, or house or family harmed. Then I walked into the polling both and voted R straight down the ticket. The 2020 riots have shown the left is capable of great violence and the mass media shaming people and placing them into buckets of "racist", "sexist", etc will make polls be decidedly wrong. This is once again a demonstration of the total lack of accountability the left has. >but you're presented with a few and told that these are the only ones you need to care about. I don't care about the rest of the world. I care only about myself and my family. If this is controversial to you I'm sorry. I have no intention to be a "good global citizen". I have found the idea to be abhorrent. What goes on some far off land I don't need to care about. I don't need to be constantly aware of every nuance of every microcosm of society. If it works for my family and me I vote for it - simple. > I think Fox News, right wing talk radio, and right leaning podcasts are the core problem MSNBC, CNN, NYT, TYT (which should've been demonetized like infowars) have been lying to the public for 8 years. Nearly everything they've said hasn't come to pass and it's primarily just Op-Eds disguised as news. "Anonymous sources" once again providing misinformation and incitements of violence that very clearly had a hand in creating the two failed assassination attempts. There is no nuance, at least no more nuance than Fox or NewsMax, and to say so reveals your own hardlined biases.
