Our highly progressive candidates, Harris and Walz, were portrayed as old, establishment figures by the lie machine, and that convinced a lot of young people who have memories of history about 10 minutes long. (a symptom of the times).

Stay tuned.

So many young people, not exposed to the realities we of many decades were exposed to, only no the POV of whichever social influencer caught their attention. Think how atrophied one's pre-frontal cortex must be if fed only a steady diet of Joe Rogan and FOX.
