    Imagine not voting for the black lady because she has to prove herself worthy while a criminal senile pedophile can go on insane demented rants for a year and win by default.

    There’s a lot of cope happening in America, and everyone is pointing fingers, but the fact is 2/3 of the electorate either voted for fascism or didn’t bother to vote against it.

    But go ahead and blame everyone and everything other than the fact that American culture is fundamentally rotten and most people either want fascism or at least don’t care about whether it happens.

      Ehhhh I think it will come out the election results were mostly faked or influenced in an illegal way. I don’t think people voted this way. But Trump had allies with voting machines.

      Harris ran on a campaign of “everything is fine, status quo as usual.”

      If you’re drowning in the ocean and you see two life boats, one is rowing away from you saying “you’re not drowning, everything is fine” and the other has a guy reaching his hand out that you have personally seen sink 5 other live boats he was on, you’re still going to swim towards the guy holding his hand out.

      One person seemed to at least acknowledge that a lot of people were barely surviving, and maybe, maybe try his time, he would actually help which was better odds than the person who made it clear they definately wouldn’t.

      Well that’s a gross over-simplification. It certainly wasn’t her and the DNC’s long history of clearly ignoring the needs of the people who want to vote for them while regularly reaching for “moderate” votes. It definitely wasn’t her disconnection from Walz while hanging out with Liz Cheney for a significant amount of time.

      People don’t see her as any form of significant opposition to the far-right but they do see opposing the DNC as something worth doing and I’ve come around to supporting them there. It is not their fault that the Republicans won, anyoderately sane and intelligent people would have laughed him into oblivion but the US threw tens of millions of people at Trump.
