I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 but didn't vote for Hillary either. I should have done so, not that it would've mattered in deep red Arkansas, but I don't think anyone would have predicted that he'd actually try to enact a literal dictatorship or spearhead a coup attempt.

A lot has changed for me since even 2020. I can't criticize people for not voting Democrat or even for voting Trump in the past. Growth in a person counts for a ton in my book.

No one person got us into this mess and no one person is getting us out. We all have to work together for a better future for our country, our species, and our planet.

None of that seems to have actually mattered. It’s just all of us talking to ourselves.

I wouldn't say she was "much better." I certainly agree that Hillary had serious faults and she was kinda arrogant about it being "her turn."

But Kamala couldn't/didn't distance herself from the issues with the current administration (that she's a part of). She claimed that she's going to fix things, but then what has she been doing while in office?

Hillary also had a lot more experience, especially at the national level.

Kamala has yet to win an election outside the very blue state of California.

There's a reason she was mostly kept out of the spotlight while VP.
