And those who remember Bush dragging us into two wars we shouldn't have still have the country divided firmly in half. We can't make the mistake of thinking having lived through a shitty Republican presidency=blue. It's just not true.

Meanwhile the kids where I am shout "Vote Trump" and have never heard the Hollywood Access tape because they were children when it came out. It's a mixed bag.

Oh this aged poor and fast. Is this "I thought she would win" v2?

It's called having hope. Sometimes your hopes aren't met. That doesn't mean you should never have hope.

Oh I feel you. Just seeing this sort of post now brings me back to 2016 and the finger pointing.

How is she finger pointing here?

Dems in general. Like in 2016 with the "I thought she would win" thing/lawsuit/mess. People go back to pre election things looking to blame someone or something.

The kids are alright. I hope they save our dumb asses tonight.

MSNBC was reporting that Harris lost support among the youth compared to Biden in 2020: Biden had a 24 point lead among voters age 18 - 29, and that was cut in half to a 13 point lead for Harris.

Among young men, Harris had only a 2 point lead, but among young women Harris had a 36 point lead - so it was heavily dependent on gender.

Moving away from age, it was also surprising that Biden had a higher margin with women than Harris ended up with. Biden's lead with women outstripping Trump's lead with men, but Harris's 10 point lead with women was matched with Trump's 10 point lead with men.

Lol the smiths album in the background, yeah yeah we dont like trump, but I think tracks like national front disco really speak to me

Morrisey became a real shithead later on, or maybe he just always was one, but I wouldn't neccesarily interpret that one as pro the national front.
