I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

It’s been “too late” for 'mericans to “win back the country” for a couple of decades at least. I mean, the entire electoral/voting system needs to be redone from the ground up because it’s very non-democratic.

If Trump won the electoral college but not the popular vote I’d say it is.non-Democratic. But he won the popular vote too. So half the country are just self destructive.

There’s a lot of fuckery that happened since before and after the election. They fucked with the census to give red states more ec votes. They changed voting rules and redistricted in many states. They got ballots thrown out in certain areas. Yesterday the voting computer system in my (blue) county didn’t work for the first two hours fortunately I voted early. There’s also a lot more nuanced targeted misinformation out there now. People have these ideas in their heads and I have no clue where they came from. I block ads all the time but I imagine places like TikTok can easily manipulate people without anybody around them knowing about it.

Quite the change from 2016, when he lost the popular vote by almost 3 million. Congrats, 'murica.

California has only counted around half their votes so a popular vote win for Kamala could be a thing.

People don’t vote because they see the system is rigged so the popular vote isn’t a great standard to go by either, it’s a product of the system as well

If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant aside from the president. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

There were no good options. And that’s because of the electoral system.

There was a so-so option and a terrible option IMO.

I’m sorry, you’re looking at these results and seeing too little democracy in play?

Yes. The Dems lost this election more than the Reps won it.

And no, it’s not just Harris. It’s the fact they haven’t accomplished anything substantially changing the lives of people for dozens of years, and they fought more against people like Sanders than people like Cheney.

Doesn’t help that you have old hags like Nancy Pelosi refusing to relinquish any power and pass the torch to someone younger. People shouldn’t have to wait for you to die to take the reigns.

Yes. It’s not half of America, it’s half of the voters. Things would change drastically if only the nonvoter voted.

There is a big fat assumption in there, a similar reason why kamala lost…

If you consider that more people didn’t vote for Trump and he still won, then yes.
