    Why is the default argument from liberals always ‘but Trump?’ Harris would have been a shit candidate not worthy of being elected regardless of who her opponent was.

      Because she wouldn’t have been shit. Your argument is invalid.

        Why was she the only other option? Is there something wrong with how we count our votes that artificially restricts the number of viable political parties?

          Yes, our electoral system guarantees only 2 parties are viable. Whether that’s good or not is irrelevant, because it’s the system that was in place for this election.

      Harris was going to raise taxes on billionaires and corporations. Why the fuck would you NOT vote for that?

        And if she said that she was going to give everybody rainbows and lollipops you would believe that you were going to get a rainbow and lollipop.

          False analogy. Clinton, Obama, and Biden – all 3 of the last Dem presidents – kept their promises to raise taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations.

          Realty matters.
