I am really wondering if comments will start being unsafe with a lessened expectation of free speech continuing and revenge being the new normal. Im going to start a new account thats not linked to my email address. I'd suggest everyone else do the same.

Sure, Bud.

We are all a bit stunned, but we have 4 years to think about what happened and why. Lets not just jump to an easy conclusion on hour 1 day 1.

Stein voters werent a deciding factor in any swing states. So maybe they contributed, but theres more to it than that.

I’m saying as a subordinate in the Whitehouse she cannot largely deviate from the official position

She absolutely can. VP is an elected position, whats he going to do, fire her? cut her out of decisions? Decisions already literally werent her job. And he could read a poll the same as the rest of us. He should have understood that she needed to play to win. You're confusing loyalty with her inability to grab the ring and lead.

She was doing better than the old white guy she replaced though

Was she really though? She couldnt identify a single thing she'd do differently than Biden, who has a truly remarkable and historic level of low approval.

She didnt "have to" align with Biden as much as she did. That was a clear mistake and a missed opportunity. She also didnt have to support the far right wing israeli genocide. She didnt have to spend the entire last month of her ground game trying to appeal to disaffected repiblicans, losing dem base support every single day in the process. She didnt have to do so poorly on the economy issue either.

Lets face it, she was a flawed candidate. She's a political noob who by her past performance appears hesitant to take policy positions.

Any cortortion you have to in order to not ask the leadership any questions whatsoever, or question their motivations or strategy even a little bit. You'll go far in corporate life.

Panelist on pbs live election coverage was saying Harris ran a flawless campaign. They just dont get it.

You have no way of knowing that because anti-genocide voters basically didn’t show up.

how do you know what they did?

Nate Silver said a few days ago that the pollsters were making the race look closer than it actually was
