      Further, over 25 million people were disenrolled from Medicaid during unwinding, even though overall enrollment only declined by about 13 million people.

      As of 6:50 a.m. ET on Nov. 7, Trump had 72,641,564 popular votes and Harris had 67,957,895. Trump currently leads Harris by approximately 4.6 million votes.

      3 times as many people got kicked off medicaid under Biden as Harris lost by. Maybe try reading what I’m saying next time.

      Who am I kidding, you’ll never learn anything from this.

        you’ll never learn anything from this.

        And you’re incapable of taking responsibility for the contribution you made to the shit show we’re about to have. All you guys have done since the election is blame everything else, pathetic.

          Your party is in power, it gets held responsible.

          I’m not here to make you feel better about their mistakes

            Further proving my point they’re you’re unable to take responsibility for your contributions to the shit show. Either that or you’re just a straight up MAGAt going through buyers remorse.

              Expressing an unorthodox political opinion online has a comparable impact to kicking millions of people off their Medicaid. noted ✅

              My state went for Harris even with my protest vote. 🤷

                You have no idea the effect your words have on a globally accessible service. Your state was fine. This time. But your whining about bLuE mAgA and not voting or voting for Jill Stein could have been seen by anyone. Not even just here, I’ve seen that blue maga crap on TikTok ffs, so you can’t even say “well, it’s not like it was seen by enough people that mattered”.

                  I voted PSL actually, and I don’t even use tiktok.

                  That you’re running into the same opinions on there too indicates that this is a broader sentiment and that if younger people are complaining about blue maga it could be a behavior/performance issue from Democrats rather than regarding propagandists on a niche forum poisoning everyones minds.

                  I doubt that my many international readers had any impact on the election.
