Now we know for sure it was never Hillary

[Jersey Devil]

Kamala ran the best campaign I ever witnessed, and I am 78 years old. It wasn't her fault for certain.

Apparently, though we are in the 21st century, there is a huge swath of our population who are so misogynistic (and racist) that they would choose a despicable person like Trump rather than have a person of high character simply because of gender and race.

1. In a nutshell . Plus economy bs.

Nail on the head.

2. It goes well beyond that, but yeah, it wasnt hillary

Or a lack of campaigning in the bluebwall states

We suffered from a lack of votes that were there for biden in 2020. There were just fewer voters recorded overall.

This was indeed one of the edges of the gop sword. Voter suppression was one of their key strayegies. If they could keep turnout low, they would win.

There were at least 10m fewer voters in 24 than in 20 by some counts.

That is significant.

4. No way was this election going to equal or even be close to 2020.

There was a highly unusual world wide event.

6. It was below 2016 even, no?

It should still have been higher than it was.

3. Deeply disappointing - America is not the nation I thought it was...

5. Unlimited money and smear campaigns

Team Trump ran ad after ad about how terrible the country is. All lies, but it they were on constantly. Not just TV either. Watch a youtube video or something online and the same thing.

Sure there were tons of Harris ads as well, but ours were uplifting. Maybe after all this time we will realize fear uncertainty and doubt rule the day.

7. Last week...

I was severely disappointed when I had a talk with my marijuana dispensary owner and he admitted that he couldn't vote for Harris because she's a woman. Last might I decided I would not renew my medical card with that dispensary and will go elsewhere from now on. I can't even look at that guy now and we had a good business relationship going, I signed up with his outfit years ago, now I can't even think about going there ever again. He lost my business and that's how it's going to go from now on. I will be patronizing far fewer businesses that I know are owned or operated by magats. Been boycotting some for years, now it will be any and all.

I'm over it.
