Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity.
She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.
~I don't want to hear people criticizing the Americans because we're just as fucking bad.
Alberta elected Smith.
Sask elected Moe.
Ontario elected Ford.
NS is about to elect Houston.
BC just got by Rustad by the skin of its teeth.
Poilievre has a 20 pt lead.
WE'RE NEXT!
CNN has a story titled “where the Harris campaign went wrong.”
Nope, I won’t read it.
Harris ran a great campaign.
The story should be titled “where the American people went wrong.”
people who say "well trump was president in 2016 you'll live 🤓" do not realize tens of thousands of people died because he downplayed a pandemic and women today are dying because of the 3 supreme court justices he appointed
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.
He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.
But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.
It’s pretty disgusting how many people in the US voted in favor of a deranged vile treasonous convicted felon, his MAGA lunatics and their plan for fascism.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
