    So…Trump is what you really wanted?

    I hate Kamala for her seemingly immeasurable corporate platitudinous banality and her lack of anything insightful to say about economics or geopolitics, but I’m not “glad” she lost to Donnie Drumpf.

      DNC and democrat leadership is so out of touch they need to keep getting bitch slapped because of their shitty candidates.

      I’m glad Kamala lost because she was a shitty candidate. It’s not black and white as the pinhead reductionists make it out to be.

          While I’m not going to say I’m “glad” she lost, which would thereby mean that I’m glad that there’s so much more fear and suffering in the country, I think there’s some merit to the idea that electing Kamala would have just resulted in more of the status quo that people were clearly becoming disenchanted with and, perhaps, in the long run, Trump being elected sooner is going to ultimately result in less harm as people are incentivized to push back sooner and harder because they’re less worn down than they otherwise would be.

          Really, idk though, I don’t have a window into the alternate universe where that happened. This is all just kinda shit. @DancingBear really should be making that point if that’s what they believe instead of being rude about it.
