    The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.

    I strongly dislike democrats, for the record. I’m independent, and I really think democrats are shit. But I voted for Kamala.

    Unfortunately “highly engaged voters” aren’t a large segment of the population. If you want to win elections, you have to cater to the voters who only hear the occasional sound bite and then just make a decision based on vibes and/or what their friends and chosen media propaganda factory tell them.

    No, it’s not an ideal world, but it’s the world we live in, and it’s been that way for a long time — more than long enough that the DNC should have gotten it’s act together by now. And yet… here we are again…
