    I remain in awe that someone who is Constitutionally ineligible to hold office, who is a rapist, and a convicted felon, an enemy of democracy, was not only on ballots, but won an election, and was permitted to be sworn in.

    The US is not a country of law, nor a government by or for the people. It is a fully captured oligarchy.

      And knowing all of this, more than 1/3 of registered voters didn’t care enough about anything but their own reflection on their phone to cast a vote.

        You understand that if they didn’t care enough to vote, their votes wouldn’t have necessarily gone to Kamala? You get that right?

        I’m so sick of blaming people who stayed home. They have that right. StFU. They didn’t have an obligation to save you, and if they had all voted, they might have voted 50/50.

          Considering that we only needed 2% of registered voters to see the forest thru the trees, I do firmly blame the selfish sacks who stayed home.

          I am done catering to progressives. We need to drop the progressive voters and pull in more from the center. Let the progressives start their own political party.
