Me too.

331 days down, just 1130 to go! So weird to be in this place where we all know it's over, but they've still got *years* to destroy things and hurt people.

Oh my...

I’ve seen “I’ll Die Mad About 2016” shirts. I need one that says, “I’ll Die Madder About 2024.”

Eh. The year is winding down. We're about to round the solstice. I think it's OK to go into "low power mode" just like the plants & trees. Get cozy, comfy, and snuggy. Watch some sparkling lights or fireplace with your favorite, low-caffeine beverage.

They always cheat.. because they get away with it

For me it’s 50% that Harris’s loss requires grappling with how a majority of voters could get to a place that they’d reelect him. That’s a deep and troubling problem. The other 50% is that I was in my 20s when Gore lost and Bush hadn’t broken me yet.

If Trump and Musk cheated with electronic manipulation to show Trump won when he didn't, that is something that is knowable and that matters. I see people talk about that, but I have yet to see a full investigation. And yes, there is a deplorable subculture that has been recruited and nurtured […]

She lost because not enough people voted for her. The fault lies with the voters; it’s that simple.

I think this one hurts so bad because all of us knew exactly what a disaster a Trump presidency was and we all knew that if he won again it would soooooo much worse. And yet, our fellow (white) citizens voted him into office anyway and now the whole world is suffering the consequences.

We had parent teacher conferences the next day and neither one of us had slept the night before and I just remember absolutely glaring at any other parent I saw who was smiling (for literally any reason). I also came in hot with my kids’ teacher for shit her classmates said (we were in Alabama).

I think about it every day too and I’m absolutely pissed Joe didn’t keep his word about only running for one term, we we’re screwed

And then there's Hillary. She was right about everything. And, before anyone chimes in that "Bernie would have won". No. Just no.

I see Bush-Gore as the turning point because it was the start of the "Oh, they're both the same!" trope which continues to this day. Plus there was evidence post SC decision that a full FL recount likely would have gone to Gore (a necessary plot element for the "Travelers" scenario).

@anamariecox.bsky.social Gore, Clinton, Harris. All a cause for grief, not celebration. Fuck the GOP forever.

It fucking sucks! Garbage-ass event

Bush people could maybe fool themselves about, but we knew exactly what we were getting with Trump

I know my dear. She is 100%, perfectly, exactly what our country needs.

yeah, wait till you find out it was stolen from her.

These thoughts always remind me of perhaps the worst fault in our country; we elect the best CANDIDATE, not the candidate who would be the best President. Hillary was more qualified than maybe any candidate in history.

You shouldn't be surprised by anything, after that result.

I think part of that was that Gore was such a terrible candidate. You watch the debate where he destroyed Ross Perot and compare it to the campaign Gore. What the fuck happened there? It was almost as if he didn't want it. And Lieberman was zero help. I agree about unplugging...this space is no good

2000 will forever haunt me. The lieutenants in that theft are on SCOTUS now. Thinking about all the knife twists in Biden’s back from his own, the drumbeat of he’s too old while the press ignored the INSANE things Trump was saying, just all of it. TFM.

Hillary’s hit hard too.

The results have been so much more destructive. At least visibly. Arguably it was a step down the path towards today, but afterwards we didn’t actually see the foundations of the country being torn apart.

Hearing of buyer's remorse doesn't make it easier; there was no excusable reason for those buyers to have made the bad choice they did.

So many more people would be alive if she had won.

Aim your anger, resentment, and grief directly at Elon Musk and his merry band of hackers. Forensic audits were required after this travesty yet there was a quick concession and exit that left the majority of us speechless. Betrayal on all sides. I'm disgusted and so very tired.

You are NOT alone!

Yeah, I get it! I volunteered for Harris/Walz in a "red" city, knowing full-well what we were headed for with a Trump sequel. It's hard not to resent people who were clueless then, thought it made no difference, and now are directly in harm's way. I'm not enjoying "I told you so." Not at all.
