It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

Mmm indeed. Would it be because harris offered them literally nothing in policies? And spent her campaign attacking students? Not directly mind you. Lets hope elections still matter in 4 years. Sigh i need to decide how im going to spend my time dealing with this.

Excuse me I'm speaking

Good lord lady. Next time listen. Well im looking forward to the punching left thats going to be coming. Or will we blame black men? Latino men? Oh well anyone but the candidate i guess.

Yup rather not show up and let dude with volatile polices come in and do his thing. That's the crazy part is these people didn't even vote third party in protest. They just didn't care. So I guess climate change, trans and abortion right don't matter to 20 million dem voters.

It turns out the talking point of "voting 3rd party is a vote for Trump" that has been repeated for months does have the desired effect of disenfranchisement, the assumption that they would then vote Democrat is something I never understood.

Turns out 15 million people didn't even vote third party. Just stayed home.

All that back and forth was just to keep the GOP out of power and not have a so called dictator day 1. Not sure how that specifically disenfranchised potential dem voters. Cause they weren't going to vote dem anyways. I could list other stuff that certainly could have.

And to add, they could have voted and just not picked a president.

Instead they didn't vote at all and we got a Republican Senate.
