Special thanks to the folks who didn’t vote this election! Couldn’t have done it without you!

Harris did better than Biden in the key swing states. Be mad at the people who turned out for Trump.

Those of you downvoting me, look at the vote totals for swing states in 2020 vs 2024. It is insane to me that “be mad at the people who voted for Trump” is a hot take.

Swing states don’t matter when the whole country is swept.

I mean, yes they do? If Harris had won those swing states, she’d have won the EC. And her turnout was higher than Biden’s. It’s just that Trump’s was even higher.

2024 Trump turnout beat 2020 Biden turnout in the swing states. People are mad that Dems didn’t turn out, but my point is that Harris did better in some of the swing states or nearly as well in the other ones, and Trump beat the 2020 numbers. It wasn’t that Dems didn’t turn out in these crucial states, it’s that more Trump ones did. I don’t know why you thought leaving Trump’s votes out of your analysis was wise cause him winning was kind of the entire point.

I don’t know why people are so eager to be mad at anyone other than fucking Trump voters. They actively chose this, they spoke resoundingly clear. All these excuses, all these reasons, all these scenarios. It’s insanity to me. Desi Lydic nailed exactly how I’m feeling: I don’t care why she lost, I care why he won.

Look at the number of eligible voters that didn’t vote. Their point is 100% valid, just like it has been for pretty much every election. This time is just extra inexcusable because of what we’ve collectively lost.

Their point isn’t valid when you cannot guarantee every non voter was actually a lost vote for Harris. You don’t know who they were going to vote for.

Let’s be real, he cleared the bar with this one.

Don’t forget, the bar was set at Jeff Sessions, and it was even lowered to the doofus who ran the patent protection scam company.

Look, he’s not going appoint anyone that isn’t awful. The most you can hope for, the best outcome, is favourable funny > evil mix.

I’m comfortable saying that Matt Gaetz, on the grading curve necessary for Trump appointments, clears that bar. He’s has at worst a 51% funny to 49% evil ratio.

Maybe you don’t remember Jeff Sessions.

Matt Gaetz could bring another dozen or so, 17 year girls across state lines, and still not reach the scale of evil contained within Trump’s former OG AG Keebler.

That’s my point. The best you can hope for is someone who also dipshit maxes, hard.
