Honestly, I’m cautiously optimistic right now. The media/pr/etc all show things that make Trump seem more likely, but of course the conservative PR machine will push that idea. They need to seem to have a realistic fight. What PR cannot hide though is actual voting returns. The population is moving away from MAGA, as shown in the last couple of elections. Yes, repubs will continue to beat the fascist drum, and they won’t stop. The media will broadcast it, since it’s make them money.
Of course there is no certainty (the Gaza/Isreael war could change a lot of things), so I’ll still stay vigilant. But I am still cautiously optimistic.
This is not making me optimistic about the election.
Join the club. I haven’t felt optimism in over a decade.
Fight Harder.
You’re not optimistic about the next election after seeing the last one?
No. No I’m not. A lot can happen in a year.

Gaza is exactly why I’m not confident. If enough people on the left vote for someone third party or don’t vote at all in protest, Trump will win.
That is a perfectly reasonable fear.
