Whatever happens today we will either need to:

A) Not gloat in Harris victory and to the serious work of restoring the national dialogue. The craziness that results from extreme media bubbles and the ability of money to disseminate misinformation and radicalize otherwise decent people, needs to be addressed. Limits to election contributions, press accreditation, and accountability for lies. We have to solve this problem. And Republicans need to reform themselves. We can't do it for them. They need to return normalcy and honest political debate seeking good policy rather than gamesmanship and win at all cost for power and money. Each politician needs to be country over party and held to that standard.


or B) not allow Trump to exercise his worst instincts. He must not take victory as a mandate to NOT govern for all. And especially not govern for only the minority. Democrats hold the majority position on all the major issues of the day and that can't be ignored. Compromise must be reached. And citizens and organizations need to find the courage to stand for justice and to stand against the bullying and oppression that is sure to come. Support the president, but support the Constitution, the American principles, and the majority sanity over one insane man.


Either way, we as a country have more work to do.

This is said after every election and it seems nothing much gets done. Too many idiots in the country. Carlin is probably doing a stand up routine in the spirit realm joking about the dummies as I type this.

I do think you are correct. The voters, on both sides, are not happy with how things are and want changes.

VOTE BLUE

That's probably how it's going to go.

There can't be more than one body double out there?

We sure do, and the Electoral College adds to the work load. It is sobering that plenty of Americans know exactly who Trump is and still see him as leader material, but we must remember that the majority of Americans do not believe that.

I'd like to believe that, but he will likely be winning the popular vote as well this time

And yet many smooth brained conservatives will claim "over half the country supports Trump! MAGA!!!!"

I wonder if Biden will break out the Pardon Pen. Letting Trump walk would be a really hard pill for Ds to swallow but it is over anyways now that Trump won the election, it would serve to unify the country and it would give Biden cover to also pardon Hunter. (It could also be a last middle finger to D's for removing him from the ticket)

Maybe you should focus your energy on asking why the D pary has lost so many working class votes, especially from Blacks and Hispanics?


Trump polled +14 over 2020 in PA with Hispanics in general and Black men. These two demographics also flipped GA. Kamala lost because of shifts in the working class votes. Full stop.

Let's all be gracious to each other. If you lost, think about why you lost - it's not because your friends and family who voted differently than you are nazis, or misogynists, or racists, or stupid or garbage. If you won, show those on the other side the meaning of grace, understanding, and allow them their hurt. Buy each other a beer, or a coffee. Send a note of congratulations or send a note of understanding. Smile at each other. Give each other a hug. Talk about what you agree on in life (USC SUCKS).

Rinse, repeat.

Or the crisp $100 bill that you will be handing over to a fellow Cal water polo supporter for losing a Trump bet.

LOL... I totally forgot about that! Go do a random act of kindness with that $100!

Trump's election win wasn't priced in? People expected the opposite result?
