One: Maybe you’re depressed

Two: Maybe you’re tricked by capitalism and religion into believing everything is special and needs a grand purpose

Three: We desperately need things on earth right now, dog shelters are overrun, solar panels need to be built and sold, bus lanes needs to be put in roads

Four: Just because it all ultimately means nothing, empires rise and fall, some remembered some forgotten, doesn’t mean nothing matters to someone else, I still remember 4th grade friendships and the things they taught me. Even if I never see them again. They still matter.

I would also add Alfalfa and Nestle (bottled 2$ water to the list. Really though “technology connections” says if you took the corn for ethanol and replaced it with solar you could power all the electric cars. (I could be misremembering)

Just as long as you didn’t have an emergency or retire in 2008 or the 10 years it took to recover

Americans have to have large cars because they are always 2 paychecks away from living in them

A similar situation happened with the American Railroad strikes a couple of years ago, and the USPS gave up their ability to strike a long time ago

Not only that, Democrats were being useless at best damaging at worst, babies dying and baby formula shortages, inflation and proven price gouging, continuing government contracts with Amazon while Amazon was quelling unions, forcing rejected contracts on railroad workers, letting private equity buy up all the hospitals, housing becoming unaffordable, being pro-police, supporting big tech low regulation companies, supporting Liz Cheney, talking about loving guns, losing Roe v Wade, Used car prices were skyrocketing, Promised marijuanna users would be released from prison but didn’t, made solar panels more expensive, student loans being out of control and college costs skyrocketing with subsidizing that being the only “solution “, letting reporters be killed by Israel, drone striking and funding massive military spending. What even is the Democrat base? What single issue voter did they NOT alienate? Maaaaybe the LGBT, Atheists, No Trump and Science Grant crowd?

TLDR: Dems before the election alienated XWorkers XFarmers XCollege students XPro-Choice XGun Control XNo War XUnions XMarijuanna Users XMuslims XEnvironmentalists XMothers X People who wanted a house in the future XPeople who wanted action X People who hate Omnibus legislation and big government spending (a smaller portion of democrats for sure.)

(I still voted for Harris not that it matters in a red or blue state)

You also have to include the swing states having a highly disproportionate amount of voting power, the wealthy having a disproportionate amount of influence, and the electoral college making small farm states election makers
