People have lost trust in the democratic process....I'm not optimistic about the midterm results unfortunately. As someone said...if you think we need smarter politicians, what we really need are smarter voters!
People have said the biggest voting issue will be Roe vs. Wade et al. I think it will revolve around crime/justice. I see many Republican candidates pushing that button and may be one of the biggest reasons they've been rising in the polls. We shall see.
What is their solution? Aside from putting women who have abortions and drag performers in jail? If Republicans are so good at crime, why is it higher in "red" states? And does crime include school shootings? Crime to Republicans means things dark skinned people to do innocent white people (white, Christian, straight, not Democrats).
according to the list provided by Fox new Carolina, the top 5 states for crime in 2020 were, Alaska, New Mexico, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. Exactly which democratic led cities in these states are you assuming lead to their high crime rates?
Maybe you should look. Because cities with Republican mayors have high crime rates as do rural areas. So, what is your program for reducing crime? Does crime include January 6? Trump's misdeeds? DeSantis illegally shipping refugees? Does it include the attack on Paul Pelosi?
Other things to remember: there are cities like Jackson, MS, which leans left, but is run by the right wing state government, which pretty much keeps things as shitty as possible for the poor dark-skinned people that make up the populace.
You can look just about anywhere and most Americans believe that Republicans would do a much better job against crime than their Democratic counterparts. It really just is what it is.... https://abcnews.go.com/US/gop-opens-edge-economy-crime-ahead-midterms-poll/story?id=91919888
