Idk, Ive often thought jail, homelessness, & work were big contributed to that 1/3 number that gets thrown around

Over 82 million Americans were either homeless, in jail, or working for weeks between early voting opened and election day?

That's a little difficult to believe. You know you can vote before election day, right? Like... Literally weeks prior?

I've been voting in Canada for 20 years. Never once have I voted ON election day.

They said "contributed". There's also third party voters.

I don't buy that you should just vote for the lesser of two evils. Kamala was a shit candidate that I doubt she was ever expected to win. She was such a shit candidate she actually solidified my view that the two parties are colluding to serve corporate/Israeli interests and have the working class point fingers at one another.

Whenever I see an extremely pro party (left or right) comment online I figured there's an 80% chance that it's a propaganda bot and a 20% chance that its an idiot cause in real life everyone I talk to is disillusioned with the two major parties.

Left vs right is a distraction to keep the conversation away from the haves vs the have nots. Because if the haves and the have nots vote against each other than the numbers are a land slide.
