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.
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.
I’m sorry, you’re looking at these results and seeing too little democracy in play?
Yes. It’s not half of America, it’s half of the voters. Things would change drastically if only the nonvoter voted.
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.
Limp dick DNC shills corpo agenda than pika face when peasants dont stay loyal to “the good team”
