If one party sprints leftward and then points at the other party and calls them far right, eventually people notice.The top issues were illegal immigration, prices, and the fact that the Democrats just couldn't answer the question "what is a woman?" even when being confirmed as supreme court justices.If you look totally mad and self-destructive, you will eventually lose in America.

I'm sorry, but this comment looks like it's straight out of a podcast comments section of Joe Rogan or Asmongold.> The top issues were illegal immigration, prices, and the fact that the Democrats just couldn't answer the question "what is a woman?" even when being confirmed as supreme court justices.You didn't realize the whole subject of "what is a woman" was pretty much a "minor issue", blown out of proportion by MAGA, social networks, and podcasts?Like, how was that subject more important thaview on HN →
