He just has no major backing compared to the big dogs that have thrown their weight in dollars to Hailey
I’ll watch the polls closely. Also going against him is Iowa is important for momentum and they are too racist to rally behind an Indian even if 2nd gen
Yea the obvious backing is so obvious Vivek torched them with it.
I'm sure he knows all that and that's why he's just laying out all the facts that the party itself can't grasp or refuses to admit.
Establishing himself like this isn't going to net you favor with that "old money" but at least he's being real and honest something most politicians can't do.
I don't know enough about him to really endorse him but you are right that the average American can't see past his name and Hindu background.
Haley and Christie have ZERO appeal to the younger voting base but like you know the average voter in the US is 40+ so they don't need to "win the youth".
I won't be voting this election cycle for the same reason every 4 years. Illinois will always be "Democrat" because of Chicago. It's really sad because most people from the rest of the state are Republican and most the Democrats I know are Democrat by association. I have family members who are so conditioned to vote "Democrat" and yet if I asked them questions they'll say "Well I'm an American first" or "Republicans are kind of racist". Luckily my family is split evenly between Republicans/Democrats but someone like myself who doesn't really affiliate with either asks them both the hard questions.
It is sad how an entire generation(my parents) grew up in a city with CORRUPT politics and so they naturally think all politics is corrupt. Yet they lack the courage/will to do anything about it. "All politicians are corrupt" what can we do? They thought democrats rigged elections in Chicago for decades and so when the whole "Rigged election" came up they both were like "Of course the dems rigged it" They always rigged it here they just figured out how to rig it on a national level. Really sad tbh.
No leaders. No solutions. Just personal attacks etc.
