Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: 1. Trump’s lies: Trump cannot be trusted. With the Presidency, or anything else.
2. Trump’s cruelty: His words, his attitude, his actions betray a person that is at his core selfish, mean, and without the temperament and character to be an effective President that can lead and unite.
3. Trump’s criminality: Convicting rapist, swindler, with a history of companies that broke the law with impunity. He thinks the law doesn’t apply to him.
4. Trump’s record of incompetency: The public needs reminding that Trump failed as a President, from tax cuts for the wealthy to, most importantly, his failed leadership and response to the pandemic, leading to over 1 million dead. Democrats are doing very little to counter the (largely successful) narrative that Trump was a successful President with a great economy under his watch. Someone needs to step up to the plate and offer a solid counter-narrative that taps into both the emotional memories of that awful, divisive, frightening, deadly time, as well as the intellectual side with irrefutable facts that play into established ideas that swing voters have about Trump.
Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Inflation, democracy, republicans Project 2025, and trump’s cognitive and mental decline and what a trump presidency would really be like.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: It is time to take another look at President Jimmy Carter’s contribution to our current political situation. In July of 1979 before all hell broke loose with the Iran hostage Crisis & the Russian invasion of Afghanistan Carter gave what is known as his Crisis of Confidence speech. In my view it operates as a prophecy about how we are where we are in 2024. If any new face belongs on Mt. Rushmore it is Jimmy Carter. Both sides of the aisle in Congress & the Senate treated him like an outsider. He deserved better then, he deserves better now!
Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: At Brave New Films your focus needs to be on helping Americans to understand just how Project 2025 will take away their rights and further deteriorate their already diminished standard of living on a day to day basis. Help Americans understand just exactly how fascism will push us all into utter servitude. Thank you.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Fearful that Trump will somehow find a way to use state level electoral votes to get his way. Very energized and excited over Kamala and Walz but in the end we still have almost half the country who believe conspiracies and show their true lack of care for humanity overall. Always fearful about the violence that MAGA uses when they don’t get their way

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: I’m much more optimistic with the Harris/Walz bonanza, but I’m concerned about the state-level ‘fix’ I keep hearing about. Obviously Trump is never going to win the popular vote, but what’s he doing with that new law in the Georgia State Election Board? Are they really allowed to reject the votes of any county if they feel like it now? I would love to learn more about their cheating, lying etc. and have that be more widely reported so that our side isn’t blindsided in case the whole thing is contested.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Trump is emotionally incompetent to lead the country, the armed forces and hold the nuclear codes. He has dictatorial goals. He is a convicted felon awaiting more trials for other crimes. He left the country in a horrible state at his previous term and made horrible decisions concerning immigration, social services and the environment.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: while we are upset and disagree with project 2025 if the electoral vote can do whatever they want why do we even vote. Trump should be in jail. Felons to my knowledge cant vote so how in the hell can they hold an office? He should have been handcuffed and in jail like any other felon. Our country is sold to the highest bidder. No corporation should be allowed to give any $$ they arent people even though so other idiot president said otherwise. Cause we all know they give huge amounts for whatever favor they need passed. Impeach should be immediate removal and never again be in office if not in prison. This is not the America i grew up in.
Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Honestly, I fear what will happen BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the elections. It is exhausting to hear all the lies and witness how blatant dishonesty no longer disqualifies candidates running for federal office.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: The genocide in Gaza. The influence of Israel & AIPAC on our elections. The threat of Trump election deniers and the risk of fascist violence.
Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Frustrated that although the Democratic Candidates are clearly far more honest and have plans for our nation and it’s citizens that are far more positive and self sustaining than our opponents, the media seems to constantly be seeking and amplifying “gotcha” issues designed to trip them up. Meanwhile, the media completely ignores the contradictions in Mr. Vance’s background and Trump’s inability to deal with reality, his increasingly delusional state, and his failing mental abilities, as well as the dangers that Project 2025 poses to our American Democratic Republic and it’s citizens, especially regarding the issues of climate change and the migration it’s already causing. These destructative Project 2025 approaches, because they are based on massive psychological dysfunctions and the blind spots and deafness to entire swaths of reality those dysfunctions cause, can only make worse every problem they seek to address and will inevitably create exactly the situations they believe they’re seeking to avoid.
Of course our worship of wealth and power in the false belief that possessing those things is a sign of wisdom and will cure all of our own ills if we just accumulate enough is leading us down these mistaken and misguided paths. The desire for wealth and power has corrupted our media, our politicians, and much of our religion in the US. We will destroy ourselves if we don’t find ways to circumvent it and begin to value each other “by our fruits,” i.e. the benefits to others and to society in general that we provide, rather than by the wealth we accumulate (which, far too often, have nothing to do with each other).

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: Fact from fiction: Is the Democratic Party more committed to democracy when they provided a closed primary election process that protected Joe Biden just long enough to select a nominee no one voted for? Trump is contemptible but at least he won a hotly contested primary season obtaining millions of votes from the American People. Fact or Fiction: Was the Russian invasion of Ukraine unprovoked thereby justifying the confiscation of hundreds of billions of dollars of Russian monetary reserves? Fact or Fiction: Is self-defense an affirmative defense under the Genocide Convention, which was ratified by both Israel and the United States?

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: PRIORITYCONCERNS:
1) The growing gap in wealth among U.S. citizens.
2) The undemocratic role of wealth in determining the candidate pool in our elections, and who actually wins among them.
3) Ensuring that people get registered to vote, and then are supported to vote early, not just the final election date.
4) The decimation of public spaces, as more and more they are privatized.
5) The restructuring of civil servant jobs towards being patronage is making them less and less publicly accountable and democratic.

Q: How are you feeling about the 2024 election? A: For me, the biggest issue is the concentration of wealth and power in the US. The money of the super-wealthy is dominating our elections, both national and local. And, unfortunately, it’s pretty clear that money can indeed buy elections. Effectively, the US is becoming a plutocracy. Wealth = Power. No amount of campaign reform can change this. Unless we can somehow radically change direction, we will be living under the thumb of billionaire overlords. Pointing out just how unequal things are can help. Americans want a more equal society, but don’t realize just how unequal we are.
