    weird that we chose a fascist instead then.

    I used to think this, not anymore, this one was obvious, everyone who pulled that lever, knew what they were voting for.

      Kamala did not lose because voters switched. Trump lost 3 million votes compared to 2020.

      Kamala lost because even less people showed up for her. She was that upopular.

        turnip won because more people voted for him than kamala. more people in this nation were willing to elect a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators. if you couldn’t be bothered to turn up to fight against that, well…

        the system is shit, but we, at least used to have control of it. I hope we still do but the winner has already told us that he will be a dictator and we won’t have to vote again.

          Tulip sounds awful. The only way democrats could lose from that is if they ran a truly horrific candidate themselves.

          Anything notable from last year coming to mind?

            no, not really, not in comparison anyway. I’m no dem fan but when given the option to shoot myself in the head vs. taking a tylenol for a headache, I don’t have to think real hard about that one.

            again, given the choice between a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators; and a minority woman with an annoying laugh, folks thought it was worth either pulling the lever for the fascist or just letting the fascist take power.

            fuck kamala, fuck biden, but we could work with them, we could put pressure on them. hell, we got biden to drop out. good luck pressuring donald fucking trump to do anything that isn’t entirely self-serving.
