    the dems failed us

    the dems should have been able to run a wet paper bag and win

    sounds like identical statements to me

    • Not really considering it was the voters who willingly voted for Trump just to spite Harris.

      It’s literally cutting off your nose to spite your face.

        it wasn’t. if every spite vote for Trump had been reallocated to Harris, the election wouldn’t shift by even more than one ~electoral college vote~ swing state.

        • yes those individuals behaved stupidly.
        • no, they are not a valid excuse for the democratic party to have abandoned the needs of the country.

          Just making shit up I guess… Or do you have access to some dataset nobody else has?
