This analogy is wearing really thin.
The candidates were not promising the same thing.
Trump is rolling out the policies he campaigned on. Tariffs, being mean to poor people, and owning the libs.
He did not promise ice cream.
In the analogy, your comment is part of the cacophony that doesn't allow for change to take place.
"you are three days away from the best economy of your life". That's the ice cream.
Maybe you were too busy hearing the other driver talk about the cliff. Until we realize that those "other" voters are just as duped as we are, nothing will change.
If you're a real person, and not a bot, you need to get used to the idea that your ✨ favorite ✨ political party doesn't give a fuck about you or making your life better. Neither does the other party. You cannot 'vote out' a corrupt system of two colluding political parties.
You sure as shit can't vote for anything anymore. Well done.
I mean we got tariffs and being mean to poor people under Biden. So we had a driver promising ice cream while they only drive toward the cliff, the other driver criticizing him for not going fast enough, and then a guy with a megaphone yelling at anyone who says "we need the first guy to stop driving off a cliff, turn the wheel, hit the brake, something please, or the other guy is going to get to drive"
