        1. Tim Walz.

        That’s about it. Looks like I only needed one finger. Dang.

            Frankly, that wouldn’t have been a mistake if it had been Bernie.

              It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

            and as awful as trump is, he wasn’t even the worst part of his campaign or his administration. Metaphorically speaking, America voted a rabid feral jackal, but what’s really gonna fuck us are the fleas hiding in its mangy, matted, filthy coat and the parasites teeming in its guts.

          There’s a pretty good argument this too was a mistake given what happened in PA. At least one swing state might have been saved…

          A lot of people out there disagreeing with this, saying Josh Shapiro (PA Governor) would have been a better choice, and helped lock down PA.

            She would have lost Michigan and Wisconsin by even larger margins if she went with Shapiro instead of Walz.

    Dog shit voter turnout isn’t committing no mistakes, it’s the definition of a mistake.

        I even spoke to american friends about the issues, but the propaganda was too strong.

    it’s possible to make tonnes of mistakes, lose, and still claim you didn’t make any mistakes.

    that’s not fodder for a pithy quote. that’s denial.
