I'm not as optimistic about that as you are. The average person only knows what they're told and as long as the right controls the narrative in their homes they're going to think 'liberals' and 'illegals' and 'trans' are causing their pain, no matter how bad it gets.

Maybe some pain is what they need to snap out of this, but they also need a trusted voice to tell them the truth about who is doing it to them. Right now that person doesn't exist in a vast swath of American homes.

Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.

I'm starting to be of the mind that literally nothing matters in the presidential election except vibes/personality. Assuming there is an election and assuming people are sick of Trump by then I think she'd have a great shot.

I love the logic of electing their first Latino senator at the same time as a president to boot him out of the country

Hm that seems like something I'd want even if I don't want Windows 11

My PC is really up to date and yet somehow it fails the Windows 11 'test' you can run. Not sure why but it's pretty nice so I haven't looked into it.

I connected my accounts but apparently it’s not open to everyone yet

I think it’s even simpler. Biden and the RNC decided ‘actions speak louder than words’ in 2020 so the GQP promptly filled the information space with bullshit and lies. It was already over by the time Biden announced his reelection bid.
