Enjoy the self-satisfaction of having taken the high road while the concentration camps get built.
And what did you want her to tell people to march to the capitol and hang the vice president being willing to certify the election?
Nah, Americans voted for Trump and his fascism, his racism so let them have it.
Exactly, 70 million American Nazis are to thank for this.
Only 70 million voted for him?
72 so far, Harris with 67. Pretty low turnout given the stakes
Pretty low compared to last election..
340ish million Americans, ~74 million of them changed the world forever.
When it’s all counted, he will likely have about the same amount as he did last time.
It’s not that people voted for Trump, it’s that people didn’t vote for Harris.
He'll of a way to blow off all the deaths that are coming. I don't cate what happens to his voters. But the rest of us are going to suffer too.
So be it. Maybe idiot America will actual learn when shot goes south with no one saving their dumb asses.
I voted Haris. I am not one of those animals
I voted Harris too but honestly F Americans as a whole here. We all deserve what the Republicans are going to serve.
No. No we don’t you dunce.
Are you fucking stupid or something?
Nope, just sick of this racist country and thinks it deserves to be rewarded for electing a convicted felon, legally liable rapist, racist back into office.
What exactly did the Harris voters do to deserve this?
Absolutely nothing, just that America on the whole is a racist country and deserves everything that Trump wants to give it, especially those Democrats that were part of the 15 million that didn't vote, condoning this racist country.
I mean, we don't need the president's permission to revolt.
Only follow the rules with those who follow them too.
I agree... did they expect her to start a socialist revolution? As if they would march to the capitol for her when they wouldn't even show up to vote?
I'm glad she's setting an example of normal adult human behavior, it's hard to even call it the "high road"... It's just NOT acting like a toddler. We can't afford to have a January 6th every four years.
Yeah exactly, this is also why they should've just left the confederacy alone /s
Excuse me?! They're called "internment camps"!
We can still try to obstruct via filibuster and other mechanisms. (Republicans have already shown us how to do it effectively.) But certainly no progress can be made for the next four years.
2 years. In 2026, 20 Republican Senators will be up for re-election.
You're putting far too much faith in the voters at this point.
Depending on how the cost of living situation goes, Trump is either going to take credit for improvements set in motion before his 2024 term, or he's going to astronomically tank it and blame it on the previous administration. No matter which happens, he will frame it to make himself look better than the Democrats while the MAGA crowd eats it up.
People's feelings about the economy is the number 1 indicator of whether a party will be voted out of office.
If Trump goes through with his insane tarrifs, inflation will skyrocket, people will be livid over the economy, and the Republicans in the Senate will be in real trouble.
As if Republicans won't eliminate the filibuster. They have no use for it because they don't plan on being in the minority ever again.
Think outside the box.
This. She will live in comfort at home while we suffer
Oh my gawd, what are you talking about?
You don't win against someone who is cheating by playing fair.
