Most of the leftists I know voted for Kamala.

And I love how Democrats' first move after losing is to blame said leftists. We were the only ones calling out the bad moves of Kamala's campaign from the beginning and warning what might happen if she didn't adopt a Walz ticket (or mostly a Walz ticket).

Democrats did this to themselves. It's the reason why they kept supporting a corpse of a candidate with Joe Biden for so long until the first presidential debate, and it's also the reason why Hillary was picked over Bernie in 2016 at the DNC.

Leftists weren't the issue. Democrats' own willingness to ignore what was happening right in front of them was the issue.

The ones over 35 maybe. Young folks believed disinfo. Nobody taught them how to vet information.

Either way, 5 million people is not one vector. People made their choice. It's time to accept that this isn't some gaming of the system or fluke. I know decent people that went from Biden to Trump. I disagree with their logic, but I hear where they're coming from.
