And they voted. Our side? Not so much. Harris underperformed Biden in nearly every demographic, and had fewer overall votes than Biden’s 2020 victory. Cantaloupe Caligula actually improved his 2020 total, winning both the popular vote (along with more Hispanics and Black males) and Electoral College while he was at it.

Now, are we talking fairness due to the fucked up, stupid-assed idea of the Electoral College? If that’s the case, well, those small, red states aren’t going to give up their built in advantage.

Again, we have to find ways to fix what went wrong and bring back demographics that we lost/lost ground with.
