      You don’t need to assume that I’m talking about some group. I’m saying that, in general, Americans need to get it out of their heads that there is only one savior like you see in the movies.

        There is only one viable candidate running against Trump: the Democratic nominee. That was going to be Biden and now it’s going to be Harris, but it’s still only one person [at a time].

          Sure, knock yourselves out with your self-fulfilling prophecies. Even after you were shown that you can absolutely change things around for the better, you still cling to those ideas.

            It’s a consequence of first-past-the-post voting, not a “prophecy.” It will not change, ever until after the voting system does. Learn some goddamn game theory!

              I’m not talking about literal prophecies, ffs. And yet here you are, perpetuating exactly what I’m criticizing. Change that chip, change that mindset. Change happens within you first.

              Learn some goddamn game theory!

              How about you learn some manners first?
