The folks with brains voted blue. The dumbasses voted for Trump.
It’s a mystery why politics is so polarized these days…
Trump is terrible, but many people voted for him because they saw something in him that they wanted or needed. It was most likely based on lies but it’s what they needed. Any alternative, if it hopes to win, must address the same needs.
In a system that mathematically converts third choices into one of the original two options, you go with the better one of the two. Knowing about the shitshow that is first past the post voting changes tactics dramatically without changing values.
Maybe if Democrats didn’t keep lying to us about our material conditions the last 4 years and telling us we are not struggling, the public wouldn’t have to look somewhere else.

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

i mean, making bad decisions because you fell for a lie is pretty much my definition of dumb.
Oh hey, the perfect comment.
Voting for the people actively funding genocide and thinking that they were the best choice is exactly my definition of dumb.
Best doesn’t mean good.

Yeah, I agree, that’s why I didn’t vote for Trump.
Oh please, they’ve been calling liberals America hating baby killers for decades.
