Some younger voters aren't getting it. Voting for Trump or voting third party is a vote against their own interests.

Everything that black voters have fought for since the civil rights movement began goes away if Trump wins. There is no reason for any Black voter to stay home and not vote, to vote third party, or especially to vote for Trump. For Trump and his MAGA base, there is no room for Latinos in their vision of America's future. They believe all Latinos, even those who were born and raised in this country, are part of their ridiculous "replacement theory". A Latino voter who votes for Trump, or for a third party candidate, is voting against their own interest and their own freedom. The same goes for Asian voters, as well as any other racial or ethnic minority in America. Voting for Trump is voting against your own freedom.

That also applies to younger voters. Voting third party is voting for Trump and voting for Trump is voting against all of those interests that they put at the top of their list, particularly the anti-war, anti-violence stand that most of them take. It is voting against a woman's right to control her own health care and her own body. It is voting against every known higher educational opportunity and career advancement ladder available. It is voting against protecting free and fair elections.

If conservatives want to play on the field with a "winner take all" attitude, then Democrats have to be the winners, and we have to be committed to take it all when we win. This election has to send a clear message, which means that Biden needs a second term and the Democrats need a big enough majority in Congress to put things in place that eliminate the possibility of our rights being taken away by a right wing, conservative, Christian nationalist dictatorship. And if that's not what the younger voters in this country want, then they need to be told, in no uncertain terms, that's what they're going to get if they don't show up in November, and support President Biden.

Failing to vote, voting third party, or voting for Trump is voting against America and the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

1. Americans have always voted against their self interests.

They buy the gaslighting and propaganda by politicians.

Or they love the messages of hating and destroying others so much they
will put their self interests aside to satisfy their hatred and cruelty.

2. Most of them want affordable housing, a living wage and a world that isn't on fire.

It's been set up real well that those things aren't going to happen, even with a Democratic majority the "courts" will stop them.

Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose. Plain truth is when you have nothing left to lose, you no longer have to worry about what you might lose as a consequence of your actions.

3. exactly and part of the problem

is entertainment "news" such as Fox and also the financial strangulation of public education....the money for classes in civics and history has been cut

4. That's exactly a big part of the problem..

Kids are not taught critical thinking skills in school, they have trouble expressing their thoughts in writing, they can't write a research paper supported by factual data and social studies education has been cut. Instead of following the patterns in Asian countries and Europe, where the school day is a full eight hours and the social studies, critical thinking and language is taught and emphasized, we've traded it off, in our Republican la la land because education doesn't generate a profit so it's not worth funding.

The worst education president in history was Trump, for doing zilch. The next three, in order, are Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and George Bush.

5. Why are women of ANY AGE voting for Chump?

6. Women, and any Latino, Black, Asian or minority group member

is voting against their own interests by voting for Trump because he has publicly declared he's going give social issue governing over to white Christian nationalists.

Here's a commentator and talk show host who gets it.
