We lost. It's time to accept it. [View all]

The complaining about the election being fixed is ridiculous. Trump won because Democratic states voted for him. Those Dem states did not help Trump cheat. When Trump couldn't handle a loss, he lied. HIs followers bought into those lies and actually believed them. And now some Democrats want to show the same traits. Is that really who you want to be?

This was a rout for the GOP. People made up stories about Harris supposedly winning in landslide: the polls showed a close race, but rather than dealing with data people presented their fantasies as fact. They didn't just say, "I'd like her to win in a landslide." Instead, they insisted, as though they knew with certainty, that she was going to smash it and then pounced on people who disagreed. Well, they were wrong, so now some are complaining that the election was rigged rather than admitting their errors.

Harris never claimed it would be a blowout, but people on social media certainly did. How many voters stayed home because they were told Harris would win big? How many people voted third party because they thought Harris would win anyway? I hope people take their responsibilities more seriously next time. Y'all were right about one thing: the polls were off, only not in the way people claimed. They underestimated Trump's support, just as they did in 2016.

America hates women. The anti-abortion movement showed us that. That people twice voted for a sexual assailant shows us that. Additionally, they voted for a party that repeatedly articulated its hatred of women. Twice we've seen that the worst man has won over the best women. It will be decades before the Democratic Party nominates another woman, and I'm sure that suits the misogynists just fine.

I don't need to see this nightmare of an election prolonged any longer. Trump already has over 270 votes. No amount of counting is going to change that. This was not a squeaker. The results are plainer than in 2016 or 2020. The blue wall fell. If the Democratic party actually followed through with the desires of the conspiracy theorists, another 60 cases would be thrown out of court.

The fact we lost the Senate and will probably not flip the House should be a sign that Democrats got routed.
We hate it. We're furious. There is, however, nothing LEGITIMATE that we can do about it EXCEPT work on the party messaging, and substance, for the next election.
