If she didn't reach core America it was because they weren't listening. Harris had programs for home buyers & small businesses & actual details for those programs not just concepts of plans. The media gave Trump a free pass on everything. Harris had to have her own agenda separate from Biden's & she wasn't given any credit for his accomplishments but had to carry his baggage.

Also, what wrong with joy? It sure beats the glowering angry orange face we've had to look at for 8 fucking years & who knows how much longer. I'm tired of acrimony in politics. I'm tired of mean people being given a pass because it would be unseemly to call them out for being pricks. And the truth is, their side has much more blame in all that than our side does.

And your last sentence just reeks of misogyny.

Look at American politics in the last 20 years.

This is the only popular vote victory for a GOP'er.

There were SEVEN swing States, we won ZERO.

Don't make excuses when your NFL team goes 2-15 on the season.

They did something WRONG.

Coaching, players, management...

If you give a free pass and continue on course we'll lose in 28, too.

Apparently the whole world is going to capitulate to patriarchy even as we stand on an ecological brink brought on by the policies of men.

Nice exchanging thoughts on the matter.
