It was no great win. Not a landslide [View all]

He barely beat a Black lady by maybe a million votes.

Toss about 10 votes at each precinct and you have a winner. Or just burn them and you have a winner.

Inflation: Look, a snack that I buy, a frigging snack that can't cost aother 10 cents to make over the last few years has gone from $2 to $3.48. a 75% increase. But did Harris notice? She never said anything about that. She didn't go after the corporation that inflated that snack.

She also didn't say much about climate change or medicare for all. Bernie is right, she did not address much about the facts of life of the working class.

She did slide to the Cheneys and Haley. She glad handed the Hollywood crowd. She talked a lot about abortion that only 10% really cared about and they were on her side the whole way.

Her opponent did talk some shit, telling lies that went right to the working class, and he got away with it because no one callled him on it, certainly not the free press.

Harris did not make headlines. She never called out the msm. But her opponent did, calling the press an enemy.

And before all the votes were counted she quit. Her opponent never quit.

All in all she should have cleaned his clock. But she didn't.
