Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    You just got a great indicator of where the “Let’s do anything we want and as long as we’re second worst, everyone who isn’t a monster has to vote for us!” mindset leads.

    But blaming the voters is easier than introspection and adaptation. So lecture away and learn nothing.

      I was simply asking the thought process on voting day while agreeing with the majority of your complaints. But you aren’t interested in discussing anything, you just want to throw a fit and feel smug. Carry on then, I’m sure that’s working out for you.
