>>485217>On the other hand, if trump wins it might make democratic voters continue to feel tied to the party and "vote blue no matter who". Since they could continue to claim that all that has to happen is a return to normalcy. Trump overturning Roe v Wade has made almost all women leashed to the dems. I think that there is a strengthening understanding in the US right now that Biden/Harris's genocidal policies and general failure on a number of their base's issues is what's actually losing them the election.
The Dems had opportunities to codify Roe… but they didn't. In fact, while overturning it was part of the Trump agenda, it was not actually overturned until 2022. Trans rights, a medical issue which has been turned into an idiotic political football, are worse now than they were 15 years ago, another thing which happened under Biden which Dems have done fuck all to stop. Biden pulled out of Afghanistan (a famous bungle in its execution, but there was no way
not to bungle it - it was either going to be bungled then or 20 years later, there was no realistic way to beat the Taliban), but resumed bombing Iraq & Syria, as well as Yemen. Walz even came out in support of reforming/abolishing the Electoral College (the reason why Clinton lost the election in 2016 but got about 3 million more actual votes), a popular proposal, and the Harris campaign told him to stop.
Some people might still do the dumb "VOTE HARDER!!!" thing, but I think most young folks are going to understand that when the Dems fuck up and betray their supposed base this hard, "blue no matter who" isn't going to save them.
The best path forward is for people to prepare for Trump term 2 by arming, organizing, gathering essential supplies, and networking. Even those who still don't think Harris will lose should get ready; and if libs realize that Harris is also extremely evil, then you'll be just as prepared for that as you would if Trump wins. Either way, you're prepared
if you prepare. We're headed for another recession very soon, and it's going to be a disaster, and Trump will most likely be president.
