Make no mistake: [Redacted] was on EVERY BALLOT

This is ALWAYS the case in the first election after a general election - it's a referendum on the ticket-header from the winning party of the general election. Forever and ever, AMEN.

So when [Redacted] whines that the GOP's resounding defeat happened because "he wasn't on the ballot" the bullshittery is beyond transparent denialism.

It can't even be gaslit, at this level. EVERYONE knows he was on every ballot.

And EVERYONE knows that voters turned out in record numbers to asskick fascism, and specifically, the incompetent Fascist-in-Chief.

Every ballot cast was a big, loud, "Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF" to [Redacted].

It drew blood.

And he WILL retaliate.

prognosticatorially,
Bright

Direct actions against NYC, CA, NJ, VA?

War?

Knocking down another part of the WH?

Stopping SSA payments to the whole country?

Aside from the "throw the bastards out" sentiment that guides so many cycles (and it's no doubt strong right now), the victors all campaigned on economic and affordability issues. Rent and utility freezes, free transportation, childcare, etc

Let's hope our esteemed politicians realize that the era of God, Guns, Gays is over. It class over identity, and the victors will speak to the material conditions of their voters
