minus-square@HappySkullsplitterlink9•edit-27 days agoTrue, but the way I see it elections are largely a game of name recognition. Love or hate Trump, people know his name. Harris only had 3 months to campaign and still almost beat Trump. Sure, major cities can handle a quick turnaround, but the rest of the country needs a full year of campaigning to accept a candidate. Trump’s win isn’t the mandate he thinks it is and Harris’ loss isn’t as damning as people make it out to be either.
