That's why the folks went for Trump's bullshit.

It's at least some alternative to the status quo...while Kamala tried to campaign on precisely the status quo.
If shit is “dark” economically for a lot of folks, it has a lot more to do with them than it does Biden or Harris.

Hilarious that those same folks think that the failed businessman with Dictator dreams is on his way with relief.

yea, it's hilarious.

But it's also hilarious that that failed businessman with Dictator dreams was nonetheless able to defeat the dem.

I think a lot of it comes down to the messaging. One side went for the grievance narratives, while the other went for something more like this "if shit is dark for you then that's your own fault" sorta thing.

Maybe.
But, if you couldn’t draw a discernible line between those 2 candidates and pick the one that wants to hold our Democracy together, I have nothing for you

Electing Trump and a quasi-Russian cabinet because Harris wasn’t far enough to the left.

What a world.

Yeah, would be better if we had a monarchy.

I mean, I think we're effectively something far closer to being a dictatorship of capital than we are to being a healthily-functioning democracy.

Could be worse. We could be unburdened by what has been.

Lulz. But.... Of course there is nothing really funny about it.

I'm really going to also miss "Let's win this!", "When we fight, we win!", and "JOY!".
Can't believe those slogans weren't the difference makers. Shocking!
