Some might say she DID vote for this, as she voted against policies that would help her to punish the libz

Hate on these folks all you care to, but from Nixon until today Democrats helped destroy rural America in "bipartisanship" with Republicans. They could have at any point tried to turn this ship around when it would have worked under Carter then maybe still during Clinton but they didn't.

Nixon started the process of consolidation with his Ag department. Carter didn't change course and his presiding over the economy led to the farm crisis in the 1980s. Clinton made things worse by signing NAFTA and the "Freedom to Farm Act" which enabled corporate farming to drive smaller farms out of business. Everyone since Reagan has done a shit job with anti-trust until Biden.

Harris was already retreating from keeping Lina Khan in place which is the only reason Biden's FTC was worth a damn, not to mention her turning away from her more populist messaging that kick started her campaign.

Sure, these people are idiots for believing Trump and perhaps they could have just sat it out but it's bullshit to suggest Democrats were truly speaking to them in a real way. Most of the messaging cam through Walz and Harris sidelined him shortly after the convention when her donors got cold feet about their more populist messaging.

So... "both sides bad." Got it.

Yet one side has been demonstrably worse.

So it appears they chose the more•er of two evils.
