    Not saying Democrats were right, but this wasn’t so much about Trump winning as it was about a black woman losing. The unfortunate truth is that if Harris and Walz switched places they probably would have won.

      Well, you’d think that a bunch of Harvard and Yale educated lawyers, politicians, political strategists, and legislators could figure out how to put together a winning ballot for “the most important election in history”. You don’t create history and enact change by losing elections. You win an election, change the hearts and minds of people, and then try to create history. This isn’t advanced logic, it’s very basic.

      Eh, let’s not ignore that the Dems nominated an old man in clear cognitive decline, accompanied at all times by people intended to keep him from wandering off or saying something stupid, Dianne Feinstein-style.

      And they failed repeatedly.

      This isn’t on the Greens, Socialists, or whoever you want to make the scapegoat. It’s on Dems.

        I wasn’t trying to scapegoat any party in particular. At it’s most fundamental level this was about racism and misogyny.

          And as long as that’s the only takeaway from this election, they’ll continue ceding victories to the Republicans.

          I don’t think that’s accurate.

          At it’s most fundamental level this is about 100,000,000 voters who can’t afford to miss a badly-needed day’s pay, something that hasn’t been addressed by either ruling party.

            Australia has the right idea, mandatory voting on a national holiday.

            It’s no one single thing at the most fundamental level. That is the biggest falsehood anyone will ever convince you of.

            Any one of a hundred, a thousand, a million things could have changed and made enough of a difference. That doesn’t mean they were the only thing.
