21. "They need inspiring."

Sun Jul 21, 2024, 08:25 AM

Jul 21

People shouldn't need to be inspired to keep the country out of the hands of a narcissistic sociopath.

While I agree that our messaging could be better (as always), voters have everything they need to know about Biden's record and Trump's history (and potential future) to make an informed decision.

I've never understood the need for some to be personally pandered to in order to get off the couch and do the right thing. While I understand that it's human nature (and seemingly getting worse), this apathetic attitude is a lame excuse for letting Trump cause damage that will take decades to resolve. There should be a responsibility to society as a whole that is far greater than whether or not a specific politician waves enough pom-poms to get us to vote.
