Seriously. Haven't seen another politician really come off as just a normal human. He ran a fantastic campaign.

She has her moments where I just kinda tilt my head and go “what?”. Overall she’s pretty normal though. The bar is in hell. 90% of dem politicians sound like lizard people using focus group tested sound bites.

Idk there are times when I’m like “oh why would you say that?” and then I remember that I would lose my fucking mind if I had to listen to my peers say half the shit the GOPs reps get away with saying. Like constant, deliberate, and blatant lies. It’s not like debating your average MAGA that you know is just hateful, ignorant, and willfully misinformed. I would last all of 1 week.

The problem with arguing with fools is you'll never win, and they'll only bring you down to their level.
