No more "Harris didn't run a 110% perfect campaign" bullshit for me---we lost because of how many fucking morons there are in this country, willing and able to put the worst possible president back in office for another hyper-destructive four years---aided and assisted by all the foolish Democrats who just didn't trouble themselves by voting. No wonder the rest of the world is just shaking their heads at what has happened.
