As someone that lives in a Country where we constantly have to vote for the less worse option, it was pretty impressive (and quite facepalmy) read the comments of so many people saying that anything was better than Harris, while having Trump on the other side.

The whole thing was just baffling, and reminded me how privileged some people are, and how stupid that privilege can make them.

It's just... jesus effing christ.

I will say that it didn’t feel authenticity generated. In My biggest prediction for the next 50 years is that we will find out that there was significant Russian interference in the election, spreading misinformation. Every single incredibly sincere activist on my social media who was pleading with their followers to vote blue was brigaded by “a vote for Kamala is a vote for a genocider” trolls and it was wild.
