    This is all a result of the weakness that voters allow for in supporting the lessor of two bad options rather than demanding more from our representatives.

        He won because Democrats refused to engage themselves in introspection, and preferred to gaslight themselves with regards to legitimate criticisms of both the party and the candidate.

        Trump didn’t “win” this election any more than he “won” in 2020. He maintained the same vote share. Democrats lost voter ship, and if you are offering static around trying to address the issues that explain why that is, Trump winning is on you.

            you are repeating what amounts to the fundamental thesis of the Harris campaign. As a piece of rhetoric, the link “but Trump is worse”, will go down as the singularly most damaging rhetorical approach ever employed.
