            and as awful as trump is, he wasn’t even the worst part of his campaign or his administration. Metaphorically speaking, America voted a rabid feral jackal, but what’s really gonna fuck us are the fleas hiding in its mangy, matted, filthy coat and the parasites teeming in its guts.

          There’s a pretty good argument this too was a mistake given what happened in PA. At least one swing state might have been saved…

          A lot of people out there disagreeing with this, saying Josh Shapiro (PA Governor) would have been a better choice, and helped lock down PA.

            She would have lost Michigan and Wisconsin by even larger margins if she went with Shapiro instead of Walz.

      the first mistake: they tried to run against a fascist bigot (america loves voting for these)

      the second mistake: something so minor and inconsequential that it would gained .001% more votes (lefties will debate what this was forever)

        It’s actually closer to 16% and I would definitely not call it inconsequential given that Trump won this election with several million votes less than he got in 2020 when he lost.
