this thread is full of people placing blame on everyone except the people who actually voted for trump. face the facts: the democrats could have put caucasian jesus on the ticket and trump would still have won.

        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.

          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.

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