IMO, Harris ran an almost flawless campaign & that's not even taking into account that she had three months to put it all together! She wasn't given any credit at all for Biden's great economy but she carried all his baggage, plus she was expected to state her policies & how she would implement her plans & she did that while the media let Mr. I-can-fix-everything-in-two-weeks totally off the hook. Plus she did it in heels & backwards! Okay, so maybe not that last but you get my drift.
I'm still angry with Biden & his comment that he would have won. WTF?! IMO, he would have lost by even more.

I'm lucky that when I get angry, I get deadly calm instead of losing it.

Dont dumbdown. Expose all the GOP lies for what they are. Throw the lies back in the liars face.

The Democrats needed to fight against the propaganda that kept going up and up.

Your words are very true. As you well know, many elections are won by 2-3 percent and less.

totally agree. There is nothing wrong with Dem values, and I will never apologize for them. Kamala/ Walz rocked it.
