Nah, I think they’re held to a pretty similar standard.

There aren't enough LOLs in the universe for me to respond to this. Like, this is one of the silliest comments I've ever read. If you honestly believe that both parties are held to similar standards, you are either super young and haven't been around long enough to know better, or you just REALLY don't pay attention. IMAGINE a Democrat president doing a FRACTION of what Trump has done, even just in the last 3 months. Not to mention the last presidency. Just IMAGINE it. IMAGINE Democrats in Congress saying things like what Marjorie Taylor Greene has said. They'd be fucking GONE. To say that both parties are held to a similar standard requires a level of ignorance I simply cannot fathom.

If the voting-base you are trying to win over is angry about how things are going, and you offer them a solution, they’ll likely vote for you.

How far back does your memory go? Donald Trump said he had "concepts of plans" which is him openly stating he doesn't have a fucking plan. Meanwhile, Harris ended up laying out her economic plan. So only one candidate had a fucking plan, and Americans chose to vote for the one that didn't. They also chose to vote for a FELON RAPIST instead of a literal fucking prosecutor with a doctorate in law.

STUPID. COUNTRY.
