    Not to diminish how fucked things are, but it’s 52% of the voters, not the country.

          Yep, I’m sure at least a few were demotivated by claims of “they’re the same!” Or the hyperbolic brow beating of those chanting “genocide Joe/Harris” or "blue maga ". What we needed is solidarity. But the left is only good at dividing itself.

      Exactly. It’s more like rough 30% of eligible voters. Fact is that roughly 47% didn’t vote.
