  1. I meant she ran about as good of a campaign as she could have given the circumstances. She didn't do enough to distance herself from Biden, but I'm not sure she ever could have. No, I do not believe she would have won a normal, open primary. But that wasn't an option.
  2. For what? I wanted Joe to run in 2022 touting the incumbency advantage. I was wrong. Kamala ran a great campaign, but she was in a really tough spot.
  3. I mean...is he wrong? Joe announcers he's a one term president in 2022, and candidates have two full years to distinguish themselves. Not that Kamala was a bad candidate...she just wasn't able to distance herself as part of a wildly unpopular administration.
  4. I didn't call anyone a racist. Dumb--or at least low information--maybe. There's a reason that uneducated voters are Trump's bread and butter. But I know plenty of smart people who voted for Trump, almost exclusively for wallet issues. This is what I said:
  5. How long do you think the GOP waits to start bragging about the crazy high stock market and low unemployment? Do they wait until inauguration, or just start claiming tomorrow that it's how it is because everyone knew Trump was winning?
  6. I do like how you completely ignore all the good, rational points (that you have no real rebuttal for), so you can focus on the posts where someone says a mean thing to you.
  7. Being a woman of color certainly didn't help. But it was always going to be an uphill battle. A hugely unpopular incumbent administration in what most perceive as a poor economy, fair or not.
  8. Agreed. But some of us also care about others who aren't us. I don't blame people for voting selfishly--we all do to some extent--but a whole lot of people just voted for some mythical eradication of inflation/taxes at the expense of a whole fuck load of vulnerable people.
  9. Trump himself will be mostly harmless. He'll be on the golf course. Like others said, it'll be those around him. Absolutely no one who isn't 100% loyal will be appointed to any position. Koch and Crow will pay off Thomas and Alito to step down in 2027 to make sure they keep the SC majority for a generation.
  10. That said, I wasn't huge on Walz--thought the campaign needed a brilliant orator (Buttigieg or Shapiro)--but can't put this shit on the VP pick.
  11. Fuck. That. Not having to waste a rare family restaurant outing at Chili's is about the only good thing about tonight. (Yes, I know it was my idea to go on Wednesday if Harris won)
  12. Tim Walz losing his own home county. Jesus Christ.
  13. There's virtually no ability to stop them.
  14. Welp, something tells me I'll be reminded of this post a few times tomorrow. Deservedly so. I thought the EC would be close, but never for a second thought that the popular vote was in any doubt. Wow.
  15. Heard that too. Holy fuck if so.
  16. Death from a thousand cuts. Down to Biden by 1% fucking everywhere
  17. That we know. Was always a really long shot.
  18. It's not over, but she's bleeding out near everywhere. A percent or two rural and urban.
  19. That's been my fear based on anecdotal experience.
  20. Her winning Iowa was never the point, dude. But yeah, a pretty terrible outlier.
  21. Latinos really love the leopard/faces party.
  22. There's not many scenarios where Nevada is going to matter one way or the other.
