I am so glad I went ahead and did that, despite my reservations.

As it stands, it's going to take a lot of endurance to survive the havoc he is wreaking, but at least some of us are not totally consumed with regret for having voted for this idiot. As for those of you who did, I hope you fully embraced the utter nihilism of it all before you voted for him.

I appreciate that you still voted for her. That said, I literally do not know how you can hold this view. Her platform was very clear. She has worked her way up in the legal and political field. She is smart, well-spoken. And yet this was your takeaway??

Women in this country are judged more harshly than men. And I really think no woman, of any experience or intelligence or work ethic, would be enough for Americans.

I’m the PP moderate Democrat who knew Harris would lose. You are one the Democratic cultists I am angry with.

Look at videos of Harris. Really look at them, and not just cherry-picked ones. She wasn’t seen as a lightweight because of her (largely unknown) policy positions, she was seen as a lightweight because she could not communicate clearly when it mattered.

Probably the worst moment of the campaign was when she was on the View and when given the chance in a super friendly environment, she could not distance herself from Biden at all. She could not come up with a single critical position, a single word to distance herself from a monumentally unpopular president that most of the country thought was braindead by that point. That is definitionally lightweight. How could it be anything else but?

How can someone who cannot articulate her own positions even when given the most friendly of audiences go face to face with Putin? With Xi? It was an impossibility, of course, and only Democratic cult members refused to see it. Everyone else did see it. And Trump, probably one of the worst candidates we’ve ever seen, won as a result.

While Trump was so erudite in articulating how he would better all Americans, and who’s doing such a bang-up job on the world stage right now, amirite? Hypocrites like you are the worst.

Oh for God’s sake. Trump is awful. I believe I made that extremely clear. But Trump being awful, truly and horrifically awful, did not magically make Harris a good, heavyweight candidate. Leave the freaking cult!!

Kamala was so bad she made me vote for Trump! Real winner you have there.

Ohhhhhh. You can’t understand the concept of a reluctant Harris voter.

Let me try to break this down for you slowly. This thread is about reluctant Harris voters. In other words, people who didn’t vote for Trump, but who saw what an abysmal candidate she was. I understand that is a concept that is too hard for you to grasp, so you have to take the position that anyone who wasn’t a cultist Democrat must have voted for Trump. But in fact, many people outside the blue cult saw Harris for the incredibly weak candidate she was, yet still voted for her. I understand the blue cultists cannot comprehend the concept of a reluctant Harris or Biden voters, but that is why you need to leave the cult. Your world view is as simple as a MAGA’s right now.

Lots of big words for a feeble-minded person. You’re in your own cult. Harris did the best with the cards she was dealt. You’re no better than the MAGAs you purport to disdain.

All true but none of this was the fault of Harris or the folks that had no choice but to vote for her in 2024. What was Harris supposed to do? Say "no" to being the last minute replacement of Biden as the 2024 nominee? Biden being an unfit and unpopular incumbent seeking a second POTUS term up until 3 months prior to the election put the Dem party in a compromised position.

Harris never claimed to be God's gift to the American people as the Dem nominee. She knew her limitations. She campaigned her tail off, kicked Trump's butt in their one debate, and did all she could help the party rebound from the Biden 2024 campaign debacle. Blame Biden and those who were responsible for securing his nomination in 2020. Harris and her 2024 voters aren't the reason Trump was elected to a second term.

Yes, Harris in fact should have said no. She did not know her limitations whatsoever: if she had, she would have stepped aside. Biden is of course at fault, but Harris is as well.

Her voters are not at fault. They tried to stop a disaster by voting for her.

lol, what cult am I in? The one that correctly predicted the election results months ago? The one that tried to warn Democrats that they were losing Gen Z men? The one that accurately predicted the disasters that would come from the Trump tariffs? The one that tried to warn people that leftists were alienating voters across all demographic groups? The one that saw how badly Harris communicated with voters? The one who knew Biden had lost his mind months before the debate?

That’s not a cult. That’s reality. You should try joining it some day.

I think OP is saying she would be if she had to live with the regret of voting to destroy the country,

As for MAGAs actually taking themselves out, unfortunately we will never be so lucky.

NP. You sound like a piece of work.

We had unchecked immigration, high crime and district attorneys turning violent criminals out of jail, the constant drone of grievance politics and woke, and constant airdrops of pallets of tax payer cash everywhere...without their consent.

Where did I lose by voting for Trump?

I guess democracy doesn’t matter to you?

You throw the word democracy around like you previously did racism.

When you can't debate or are to lazy to enunciate valid ideas, just throw it out there.

Why aren't Democrats more responsive to voter's concerns? Their tack and interpretation on immigration left a lot to be desired. Catering to special interests isn't democratic. In addition, Democrats are doing very poorly in state offices. Aren't some of those practicing democracies?

Luckily I shared all those opinions in real life with folks, in fact had friends get angry with me about it, so in my personal life, people are now coming to me asking me for my thoughts on the midterms. And my friends who got angry have actually apologized. Nice words: “I am so sorry. You were so right. I should have listened.”

Look, there were lots of us who saw how fatally flawed both Harris and Biden were. I’m hardly alone. Knowing Harris would lose wasn’t some Nostradamus-type skill, it just required being analytical and clear-sighted. But we could not break through to the blue cultists that controlled the party.

OP, you sound mentally ill or very unwell if you are so caught up in Politics (and assuming you deeply understand what's going on and has been going on) that you consider "ending it all". I think that instead of engaging with you, I am just going to recommend that you seek help and try to find meaning in your life. Nothing is ever guaranteed and the comforts you might have enjoyed in previous years had been an illusion. A huge percent of people didn't get this comfort you enjoyed, so you don't get all the perspective but only your own. You need to focus on yourself, your health, mental health, your family and how to be nimble and evolve to survive existing challenges if they indeed presented themselves to you now. I know for a fact that MANY people who were affluent before had not been adversely affected. Wealthy who had sucked on the government tit for years if not decades and had lost their lucrative positions or contracts are going to be fine living off of already accumulated wealth, they don't need to work another day in their lives. Stock market isn't crashing worse than it has before and it had come back.

I only feel bad for you if you were one of the laid off Feds or low wage contractors who lost your only way to make livelihood and have to find employment in the local economy, which is tough right now. If you still have employment or a business or if you are retired and living off your already accumulated assets and don't need a paycheck then such despair you feel is in your head.

I do agree that the reference to ending it all suggests that OP has very serious mental health issues, but I understand the underlying sentiment.
