All that. I think I went through the same disillusionment from the (R) side.
They're all the party of the rich now, and we ain't.
Trump's the best in a whole salad bar of pretty lousy options. If anything's going to change for the better, it has to happen from the ground up, and all you can do in an election year is try for someone at the top who won't actively sabotage you.
I don't hear anybody talking about bringing inflation down, or busting up the real-estate investing congame, so... it's hard to be interested in whatever the policy talking points are, beyond the big "how likely are they to get us involved in WW3?" Trump actually did things while in office that kept the RUS/UKR thing from blowing up. Knew how to play the deterrent game. Now that we're in it... (grimace). And then there goes our freshly nominated VP talking up war with Iran!
