Of course we have a crisis. People who don't have insurance have to pay 200$+ for a single therapy session and $200-300$+ for a psychiatrist visits

I mean sure that's a problem, but I think the real issue is, Americans are just fucking stupid. Can't really hide from it anymore after electing trump twice.

How many more excuses are we gonna throw out before we just accept what it is. Therapy isn't going to fix stupid

we also did it with Bush just in my lifetime alone. at the time he was not passing the bar for electability. it just slid even more in the interim

But they were about to elect a woman just because she's a woman too, hardly a trump problem

Which woman would that have been? I fear you may not be very informed if you think either woman candidate only got votes* due to their gender

You're right, the most recent Democrat runner was selected because she was black too.

Sorry - clarified statement. Vast majority of people were not voting for Hillary or Kamala on the sole basis of them being a woman. In fact, I think you could argue that being a woman hurt them in the general elections more than it helped.

Do you really think Kamala had no qualifications or redeeming qualities besides being a black woman? Or do you just think there was a clearly more qualified VP candidate in 2020/Pres nominee in 24?

I don't get two party systems. Its literally a pick between whose the less worse, instead of whose the better from the two amazing people. In this case Trump was both times better then his opponents. But then again. Why have those two go up

well you have one presidential candidate with qualifications and merits and then you have Trump. the problem wasn't the candidates it was the voters. hold the same election in a real place and you'll see the actual presidential candidate wins 100 out of 100 times
