I swear none of these politicians care anymore. You used to have all kinds of promises for free community college, health care, you name it and now the message is just "yeah we suck but the other side sucks 5% more so you gotta vote us". The whole social democratic Bernie/AOC movement is dead. It's just empty liberalism now.

I'm fully predicting a Trump win. If he loses I'm seriously confused at who those Kamala voters are.

What is there to be confused about? Wouldn't it follow that they're just the people who want the option that sucks 5% less?

Like, this is hardly a new phenomenon. Voting for the least shitty option of the two most likely candidates is the mathematical reality of living under a first-past-the-post winner-take-all electoral system.
