This is what is wrong in America.
That was Biden's victory margin in 3 States that would have given the election to Trump. GA, AZ and WI.
That this many Americans could vote for someone who was objectively the worse President in American history. Who still support him no matter the revelations of his criminality and just sheer lawlessness.
That so many voters cannot see the reality of what is happening to America.
This is what could doom us. If enough citizens don't get a clue, we might not overcome the overwhelming problems we face.

Of course our system, where someone who wins by 8 million votes can lose, is also a big issue.

to the number of votes received by MF45 in three states that crafted Hillary's defeat in 2016. She did, however, receive almost 4 million more votes than MF45, which proves that he's generally despised by a great majority of American voters.

...a world where QAnon is a thing--a BIG thing-- is huge problem. I am still wrapping my mind around the fact that so many people WORLDWIDE are buying into this shit. It kind of feels like a weird sea change that I could never have seen coming.

Although I'm sure a certain few posters will be along shortly to whine that this is "bashing" or being negative about Biden and Democrats.

It's not. It should be a ice-challenge-slap-in-the-face-wake-the-fuck-up-NOW-call to everyone who thinks they're paying attention.

But apparently, they didn't make the connection when someone who won by 3 million votes DID NOT get the presidency she won. By a 41k margin in "certain states". Then, someone with 8 million more votes was THAT CLOSE to not taking the office they won. Everyone should consider how damn fucked up that is. Then, consider that republiqons examined that election and immediately took steps to make sure they'll successfully steal it next time.
